Title: Implication of climate warming for agricultural production in eastern areas of China

Conference ·
OSTI ID:470953

Based on historical variation of temperature and precipitation, the potential effects of climate warming on rice, winter wheat and corn production in China are simulated in this paper, using the weather-yield model and cropping system model. As a result, it is shown that under the current planting systems and agrotechniques, the greenhouse climate warming effect upon the corn production is the most significant. Regionally, the meteorological conditions of agricultural production in the northern part of China will be more favorable than the south and the central part. And seasonally speaking, such impact in general will be apparent in Autumn.
