Impact Assessment of Extreme Climate Events on Maize Meteorological Yield in Northeast China by Machine Learning TANG Jie, DONG Mei-qi, ZHAO Jin, LI Hao-tian, YANG Xiao-guang Chinese Journal of Agrometeorology    2025, 46 (2): 258-269.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-6362.2025.02.012 Abstract （1240）      PDF（pc） （3065KB）（1270）       Knowledge map    Save In the context of global climate change, the frequency, intensity, and duration of extreme climate events are increasing and strengthening, which greatly affects agricultural production. The three provinces in Northeast China are the main maize-producing areas in the country, and the region most significantly affected by climate change. It is crucial to explore the effects of extreme climate events on maize meteorological yield in the three provinces and safeguard China's food security and economic development. In the current study, a machine learning model was constructed based on the historical meteorological data and statistical maize yield data to clarify the impact extreme climate events on maize meteorological yield in northeast China during the historical (1981−2014) and future (2031−2060) periods. The results showed that high temperature and high- temperature-drought compound events had the greatest impact on maize meteorological yield during the historical period, with meteorological yield decreasing by 13.2% and 15.9%, respectively. Meanwhile, the extreme temperature events had a greater impact on maize meteorological yield compared to extreme precipitation events. In the future, the climate show a warming trend, Compared with the SSP1−2.6 (low−emission) scenario, the magnitude of maize meteorological yield reduction in Northeast China under the SSP5-8.5 (high-emission) scenario is more pronounced, and more attention needs to be paid to the impact of extreme precipitation events on maize meteorological yield in the future.

Temporal and Spatial Variations of Extreme Temperature and Precipitation Events in the Cropping Region across Northeast China LI Hao-tian, DONG Mei-qi, ZHAO Jin, TANG Jie, YANG Xiao-guang Chinese Journal of Agrometeorology    2025, 46 (2): 145-156.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-6362.2025.02.002 Abstract （1080）      PDF（pc） （9154KB）（371）       Knowledge map    Save  Global warming has led to a significant increase in the frequency of extreme weather and climate events, especially in northeast China, which is bound to affect the grain output of the three northeastern provinces. Based on historical ground meteorological observation data (1981−2014) and future climate change prediction data (2031−2060), this paper systematically analyzed the spatial−temporal distribution characteristics and future occurrence trends of extreme temperature and precipitation events by defining four extreme temperature indices and three extreme precipitation indices related to crop production. The results showed that the number of low temperature days (CD) decreased, the number of high temperature days (HD), low temperature intensity (CSI) and high temperature intensity (HSI) increased, the number of continuous wet days (CWD) decreased, the number of continuous dry days (CDD) increased, the number of heavy precipitation days (R20) decreased, the number of extreme high temperature days increased significantly and the extreme maximum temperature was the same as the historical stage. The extreme minimum temperature is in a state of warming. In the future, the overall temperature in the crop growing areas of the three provinces in northeast China would continue to rise, the number of continuous wet days would increase, the number of continuous dry and heavy precipitation days would decrease, and the precipitation variability and spatial difference would be large and the fluctuation range would be greater than the historical stage, and the uncertainty of abnormal precipitation would be strengthened, showing a trend of warming and drying, especially in the south and southeast. The results can provide reference for agricultural production in Northeast China to cope with climate change. Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

Report on Growing Season Agrometeorological Conditions of Autumn Harvest Crops in 2024 HAN Li-juan, SONG Ying-bo, ZHAO Xiao-feng Chinese Journal of Agrometeorology    2025, 46 (2): 275-280.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-6362.2025.02.014 Abstract （886）      PDF（pc） （2227KB）（1182）       Knowledge map    Save According to the observed meteorological data in 2024 and the historical data from 2467 meteorological stations and 653 meteorological stations in China, the agrometeorological evaluation index, climate suitability models, grid estimation methods for soil moisture and agrometeorological disaster index model were used to evaluate the agrometeorological effects on yield of major autumn-harvest crops, such as corn, single rice, later rice, soybean and cotton. The results showed that water conditions and thermal conditions were sufficient for the crop growth and development during the growing season. The impact of agricultural drought, continuous rain, sunless, rainstorm and flood disasters during the main growth season was light, while the meteorological conditions were favorable for crop development growth and yield. However, in Heilongjiang and Jilin, there was continuous low temperature and waterlogging from mid-May to June seriously affected the growth process of crops. In Henan and Liaoning, heavy rainfall was concentrated from July to August, and the waterlogging disaster was severe, resulting in reduced corn and soybean yields. In the Yangtze and Sichuan river basins from July to September, high temperature persisted for a long time, and heat damage to single rice plants yields. Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

Flood Loss Assessment for Crops Based on Hydrodynamic Modeling: A Case Study in the Jianghan Plain QIN Peng-cheng, ZHOU Yue-hua, LIU huo-sheng, XIA Zhi-hong Chinese Journal of Agrometeorology    2025, 46 (3): 420-431.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-6362.2025.03.013 Abstract （868）      PDF（pc） （16431KB）（122）       Knowledge map    Save Crop loss assessment is critical for decision making in flooding management. From the perspective of disaster chain, flooding damage is a complex interaction of hazard factors (e.g., extreme precipitation), local topographic attributes and vulnerability of affected bodies, and thus characterized by large temporal and spatial variations. Developing a physically based modelling chain that can capture the dynamic evolution and spatial heterogeneity of the disaster process is critical for timely and efficient emergency response to flooding prevention. This study presented a modelling framework for estimating crop loss due to flooding, by coupling the flooding vulnerability curves with the Rainfall−Runoff−Inundation (RRI) model developed by the International Center for Water Hazard and Risk Management. The flooding vulnerability curve was shown as a function of inundation depth, duration and crop stage. A quantitative assessment of crop loss at gridded scale was established by integrating the inundation maps, crop distribution, and flooding vulnerability curves. The framework was applied to two representative flooding events on the Jianghan plain to demonstrate its capability to estimate crop losses due to rainstorm−induced flooding. The results showed that the RRI model could reasonably simulate the formation and retreat of the flooding peak as well as the surface inundation dynamics in accordance with the rainstorm, with the simulation error ranging from −14.8% to 11.5% for the runoff, the simulation accuracy exceeding 80% for the inundation area, the matching rate ranging from 84.2% to 87.1% for the inundation depth, and the estimated deviation of crop loss rate were −33.8% to 6.4%, −10.8% to −9.5%, and −6.0% to 1.8% for areas covered, areas affected and areas of total crop failure, respectively. The method proposed in this study provides a fundamental support for the rapid assessment and risk early warning for flooding mitigation and post−disaster reconstruction.

Characteristics of Climatic Seasonal Variation in Northeast China under the New Standard SHAO Qi-duo, FENG Xi-yuan, REN Hang, TU Gang, LI Shang-feng, LIU Gang, YANG Xu, WU Di Chinese Journal of Agrometeorology    2025, 46 (6): 741-752.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-6362.2025.06.001 Abstract （763）      PDF（pc） （16028KB）（181）       Knowledge map    Save According to the national standard of Climate Seasonal Division (GB\T 42074−2022), the characteristics of seasonal variation in Northeast China (NEC) for the period 1961–2020 were analyzed using CN05.1 gridded data, and the changes caused by the shift of the standards and climatological baselines were investigated. The results showed that the climatic season of NEC was divided into regions with four seasons and non−summer zone regions, and the non−summer regions were mainly located in the northern part of the NEC, high−altitude regions and their surroundings. Spring and summer started from the south to the northeast, from the central plains to the high altitude mountains, and vice versa in autumn and winter. Compared with the 1981–2010 baseline period, parts of the Sanjiang plain and Hulun lake changed from non−summer regions to four−season regions. The starting dates showed a significant advance of 1d·10y−1 in spring over most of the NEC region, and a significant advance of 2−3d·10y−1 in summer over the central and western parts of the Northeastern plains. The starting dates were significantly delayed in autumn over the four-season regions, and in winter over the non−summer regions and the central of Northeastern plains. The summer and winter duration were significantly prolonged and delayed, respectively. Compared to the original standard, there were more areas with significant changes in spring and summer starting dates and summer and winter duration under the new standard. The areas up to the summer standard showed a significant upward trend of 3.9PP·10y−1 and had a significant positive correlation with the area−mean June−July−August NEC temperature. The rating of starting date of seasons obeys the normal distribution law, with a slight advance in summer. Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

Report on Meteorological Condition Impact to Agricultural Production in Winter of 2024/2025 HE Yan-bo, WU Men-xin, ZHAO Xiao-feng, GUO An-hong, LI Sen, HOU Ying-yu Chinese Journal of Agrometeorology    2025, 46 (5): 737-740.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-6362.2025.05.014 Abstract （586）      PDF（pc） （310KB）（217）       Knowledge map    Save During the winter of 2024/2025 (December 2024–February 2025), China’s national average temperature was −3.3°C, 0.3°C above the long-term average (1991–2020, hereinafter referred to as perennial). Spatially averaged total precipitation was 23.7mm across the nation, 39.4% less than the perennial , while average sunshine duration reached 519h, 6.1% more than the perennial. In most agricultural regions, favorable light and heat conditions prevailed during the winter, and suitable soil moisture supported the safe overwintering of winter wheat in northern China and the vigorous growth of rapeseed and other crops in southern China. However, persistent snow cover in parts of northern China had posed challenges for livestock farming and conservation protected agriculture. In additionally, the late−season snowmelt and freeze−thaw cycle disrupted grain storage and transportation in northeast China. In east−central of south China, a prolonged precipitation deficits had led to mild to moderate drought, negatively affecting field crops and economic fruit trees. In the latter part of winter, periodic cold and rainy weather in eastern of southwest China, southern Yangtze, and western of south China hampered the steady growth of rapeseed and open−field vegetables.

System Theory, Resource Theory and Solution Ideas of the Current Problems Related to Agrometeorology PAN Zhi-hua, HOU Ying-yu Chinese Journal of Agrometeorology    2025, 46 (2): 270-274.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-6362.2025.02.013 Abstract （529）      PDF（pc） （304KB）（437）       Knowledge map    Save In recent years, there has been a "wandering phenomenon" in the development of agrometeorology, and some key questions need to be answered effectively. Based on system theory and resource theory, this paper deeply analyzed the connotation of agrometeorology, and expanded the relationship between meteorological conditions and agricultural (crop) production, and provided ideas and solutions to related problems. The results showed that the elements such as atmosphere, soil, crops and technical conditions make up the agrometeorological system. Climatic factors were not only natural, but also productive, and were involved in the whole process of agricultural production. The functional relationship between crop production and meteorological conditions could be established. Agrometeorological indices were the dynamic combinations of meteorological elements. Technological conditions could change the availability of climatic conditions and the sensitivity of agricultural production to climate. There were three properties of climate resources: quantity, space-time potential and quality. Different combinations of elements of the hydrometeorological system determine different objectives. This research could play important role in promoting agro meteorology.

Research on Optimized Configuration of Wind/Solar/Precipitation Resources over Guizhou Province under Changing Climate ZHANG Jiao-yan, CHEN Zhen-Hong, LI Zhong-yan, WANG Shuo, LI Yang Chinese Journal of Agrometeorology    2025, 46 (3): 339-349.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-6362.2025.03.006 Abstract （505）      PDF（pc） （19740KB）（106）       Knowledge map    Save Based on the monthly near−surface wind speed (sfcWind), surface downwelling short wave radiation (rsds) and precipitation (pr) from the 5 global climate models that participated in the phase 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6), the ERA−5 reanalysis data and the 83 observational stations over Guizhou, the characteristics of wind/solar/precipitation resources in Guizhou under three scenarios (SSP1−2.6, SSP2−4.5 and SSP5−8.5) were evaluated, using Quantile-Mapping to improve the simulation capabilities. The results showed that compared to the reference period (1995−2014), although there was little change in the relative anomalies of sfcWind under SSP2−4.5 and SSP5−8.5, the relative anomalies of sfcWind under SSP1−2.6 increased statistically significant at the level of 0.01 over Guizhou during 2025−2100, as well as rsds and pr under three scenarios, with growth of 1.22 percent points·10y−1 (sfcWind, SSP1−2.6), 1.32/1.65/1.88 percent points·10y−1 (rsds, SSP1−2.6/2−4.5/5−8.5) and 1.77/1.88/2.97 percent points·10y−1（pr, SSP1−2.6/2−4.5/5−8.5）. Besides, the increases in rsds and pr were found generally in Guizhou during 21st century with respect to 1995−2014, rising from west (near) to east (far) under three scenarios, while sfcWind had different change for different scenarios and areas. Taking the wind/solar/ precipitation resources at the 14 representative stations under SSP2−4.5 in Guizhou during the near−21st century for example, the within and cross−regional complementarity was detected. Citing the case of Weining station from Jan to Dec, the seasonal complementarity was indicated due to making full use of solar/precipitation resources in summer and wind resource in winter/spring.

Development of a Growth Conditions Dataset of Major Crops in China (V2.0) GAO Jing, LIAO Jie, YANG Bing-yu, LIU Yuan-yuan Chinese Journal of Agrometeorology    2025, 46 (5): 725-736.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-6362.2025.05.013 Abstract （495）      PDF（pc） （6104KB）（376）       Knowledge map    Save A dataset of the growth conditions of major crops in China was mainly constructed from paper-based annual records before 2012 and electronic annual records after 2013. However, there were problems such as inconsistencies in the observed items and data units，the quality of some data had not been evaluated. To improve the consistency and accuracy of agricultural meteorological data, based on these two types data, a high-quality dataset of the growth conditions China's major crops (including wheat, rice, maize, cotton, oil-seed rape, soybean and peanut) from 1981 to 2022 was developed by using the observation items standardization, integrity checks, cross-year value checks, observation time checks, value range checks, internal consistency checks element limit value check and manual verification. The dataset promoted effective application in agricultural research and decision-making. The results showed that the valid rate of crop common stage from 1981 to 2022 was over 96.0% of the expected observations, while the valid rate for growth status, crop height, stem count and effective stem count were all over 86.0%. The accuracy rate of the above five mentioned elements were above 99.3%. The distribution of observation stations for the seven major crops had obvious spatial and temporal distribution characteristics, with dense stations, uniform spatial distribution and long observation years in eastern China, but sparse and short observation years in northwest China. There were also obvious differences in the number of observation stations between different crops, and the number of observation stations for cotton and oil crops were less than that for staple crops. The valid data was relatively low in the 1980s, but improved significantly after 1994. After quality control and data verification, the valid rate of crop common stage increased from 94.7% to 96.2%, the crop height increased from 88.2% to 92.0%, the stem count increased from 77.1% to 86.7%. The accuracy rate of the common stage data increased from 99.3% to 99.6%. Compared to the "China Major Crops Growth and Development Dataset V1.0"，the overall quality of this dataset has been improved, with the addition of element boundary value checks. This dataset can provide critical fundamental information for studying the impact of climate change on the growth and development of major crops in China. Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

Report on Meteorological Impacts to Agricultural Production in Autumn 2024 HE Yan-bo, ZHAO Xiao-Feng, WU Men-xin, GUO An-hong, YAN Hao, ZHENG Chang-ling Chinese Journal of Agrometeorology    2025, 46 (3): 432-434.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-6362.2025.03.014 Abstract （469）      PDF（pc） （382KB）（242）       Knowledge map    Save  In the autumn of 2024 (September−November), the national average temperature was 11.5°C, which was higher than the average of the same period from 1991 to 2020, and consecutively increased in the sixth year as well as created a new high record since 1961. The national average precipitation was 134.4mm, and 14.4% more than the same period from 1991 to 2020. The national average sunshine hours were 536.5h, and 6.0% less than the same period from 1991 to 2020. In most agricultural areas across the country, the light and heat conditions in autumn were relatively good to the crops. The first frost date in the northeast China was later than usual, and the cold dew wind had little impact on the late rice in the south part of China. The meteorological conditions were conducive to the filling and ripening, harvesting, drying of autumn-harvest crops and sowing of autumn-planted crops. Overall, the harvest and planting activates progressed smoothly in autumn of 2024, excluding the periodic droughts in the eastern part of the Sichuan basin and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze river, which affected the quality improvement of economic forest fruits and the sowing and emergence of autumn rapeseed. Nearing to the end of this period, a cold snap weather caused heavy snowfall mainly in the northeastern part of Inner Mongolia and northeast China, which is unfavorable for agricultural and pastoral production.  Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

Risk Assessment of Low-temperature Disaster on Peony in Heze, Shandong Province ZHANG Cui-ying, GUO Jian-ping, ZHAI Jian-qing, HAO Xiao-lei, WANG Jun-lin, CAO Jie Chinese Journal of Agrometeorology    2025, 46 (2): 249-257.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-6362.2025.02.011 Abstract （378）      PDF（pc） （4583KB）（386）       Knowledge map    Save Peony is an important specialty cash crop in Heze city, Shandong province. Low temperature and freezing damage in spring is the main meteorological disaster faced by peony in Heze city, which not only affects the flowering time and yield of peony, but also affects the local characteristic tourism and economic benefits. This study was based on the observational data of 9 national meteorological stations from 1978 to 2020 and 150 regional automatic stations since 2005, as well as the phenology and disaster data of peony in Heze, Shandong province. Firstly, the cold air and frost processes were identified, and a single-disaster hazard assessment was carried out by selecting typical disaster factors for example the duration days, maximum the drop of daily minimum temperature, extreme minimum temperature of cold air processes and the days, mean temperature, minimum temperature of frost disaster. Secondly, the risk index of low temperature disaster was obtained by weighted sum of the single disaster hazard. Finally, the low temperature disaster risk of Mudan in Heze was quantitatively assessed based on the three-factor methodology of hazard, exposure and vulnerability. The results showed that Juye county and Yuncheng county of Heze city had the largest proportions of high level hazard areas of low temperature disaster, which were 9.8% and 9.5% respectively. The proportions of areas with high level hazard in Caoxian county and Mudan district were the smallest, both less than 0.3%. Affected by low temperature risk and peony exposure, the high risk areas of low temperature disaster mainly distributed in the northeast and southeast of Heze city. In addition, the urban area of Mudan, where peonies were mainly planted, had a higher risk of low temperature disaster leading to a greater risk of peony disaster. The central and western areas were low risk areas, especially the western, southern and eastern parts of peony area, where the risks of low temperature disaster were lower. This research suggested that the planting area of ornamental peony can be expanded to increase the economic benefits of flower farmers. The results can provide basic support for optimizing the planting structure and sustainable development of peony in Heze. Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

Microbial Seed Coating Promote Wheat Seed Germination and Seedling Growth under Drought Stress Condition JIANG Ya-wen, XIE Wen-yan, HE Jiu-xing, GONG Min, HUO Qiu-yan, YANG Xi, HAN Wei, LV Guo-hua Chinese Journal of Agrometeorology    2025, 46 (5): 609-618.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-6362.2025.05.002 Abstract （358）      PDF（pc） （1365KB）（274）       Knowledge map    Save Drought stress at the germination and seedling stages is a key factor in reducing crop yields in arid and semi−arid areas. Seeded surrounding microenvironment regulation is one of the important technical measures to improve crop drought resistance. In this paper, wheat (Jimai 22) was selected as the experimental variety, while Bacillus subtilis ACCC 19742 and Bacillus magaterium ACCC 04296 were chosen as the experimental strains. The bacteria were encapsulated using microencapsulation. Wheat seeds coated with bacterial microcapsulation were investigated for seed germination and seedling growth under drought stress. Four treatments were established: Bacillus subtilis coatied (M), Bacillus megaterium coatied (B), Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus megaterium compound coatied (MB), and uncoated treatment (CK). The results showed that the compound bacterial coating had the best effect than the single-strain coatings. The ratio of emergency, above ground dry weight and root-shoot ratio were significantly improved, increased by 12.8 percentage points, 17.8% and 5.3% compared with M treatment, while 15.3 percentage points, 14.7% and 5.7% compared with B treatment. Compared with CK treatment, ratio of emergency was increased by 25.9 percentage points, above ground dry weight increased by 21.8%, root-shoot ratio increased by 9.8%, and total root length, surface area and total volume increased by 37.5%, 34.7% and 84.3% respectively. The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), catalase from micrococcus lysodeikticus (CAT) significantly increased, and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) decreased, but the content of proline (PRO) obviously increased. Fluorescence parameters Fv/Fm and ΦPSⅡ were both larger than that of CK treatment, which showed that coating with composite bacteria could improve the drought resistance significantly. In summary, seed coatied with bacterial microencapsulation can promote seed emergence, root growth, and stress-tolerant enzyme activity in drought stress conditions to increase drought tolerance. Moreover, a compound microbial coating is the optimal method. Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

Evolution Characteristics Analysis of Drought and Flood in Nanjing from 1470 to 2012 YUAN Yuan, SHI Yi, ZHANG Lu, DONG Jin-fang, LU Rong, XIA Bin, LIN Yan, CAI Dan-ping Chinese Journal of Agrometeorology    2025, 46 (3): 281-289.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-6362.2025.03.001 Abstract （354）      PDF（pc） （1797KB）（392）       Knowledge map    Save Re-establishing a current rule on the grading of drought and flood in Nanjing from 1470 to 2012, based on historical drought and flood grades data in Nanjing from 1470 to 1950, monthly precipitation data from Nanjing National Basic Meteorological Station from 1951 to 2012 and the drought and flood grades standards for precipitation classification in "Chinese Map Collection of Drought and Flood Distribution in the Past Five Hundred Years". Morlet wavelet analysis and moving mean t-test were used as the research methodology to analyze the evolution characteristics of the drought and flooding grade series in Nanjing from 1470 to 2012. The result showed that between 1470 and 2012, it experienced 160 years of drought, 167 years of flooding and 216 years of normal conditions in Nanjing. Severe floods, severe droughts occur frequently and intensively. The occurrence of droughts and floods in Nanjing showed distinct phases. Drought dominated from 1470 to 1554, 1625 to 1652, and 1912 to 2012. From 1653 to 1805 and from 1849 to 1912, the normal dominated. Between 1806 and 1848 there was a significant alternating pattern of droughts and floods, and the region had experienced more droughts than floods over the past century. The drought and flood levels in Nanjing also exhibit multi−scale periodic oscillations, with the most significant oscillations occurring on time scales of 2−8y and 10−20y. Following these, there were long-period oscillations on the scales 64y, 32y, and 16y. At the present, the Nanjing region had entered a period of oscillation within the 2−8y period. In different time series, significant drought−flood mutations occurred around the years in 1554, 1615 and 1914, characterizing the climatic evolution of dry periods-pluvial periods-dry periods. Since the 20th century, the duration of moderate flood in Nanjing had been shortened by a trend towards aridity.  Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

Potential Distribution Region for Chinese Ampelopsis grossedentata Based on the MaxEnt Model ZHOU Wei, ZHONG Yan-wen, CHEN Yu-gui, LI Yan Chinese Journal of Agrometeorology    2025, 46 (2): 213-225.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-6362.2025.02.008 Abstract （354）      PDF（pc） （8157KB）（175）       Knowledge map    Save Based on the current 193 geographical distribution data and 34 environmental variables such as bioclimate, altitude, and radiation, the maximum entropy model (MaxEnt) was used to simulate potential distribution areas and change characteristics of Ampelopsis grossedentata under three kinds of future climate scenarios. In order to make full use of climate resources and provide scientific basis for Ampelopsis grossedentata planting, protection and industrial development. The results showed that: (1) the prediction accuracy of the MaxEnt model was relatively high, with an AUC value of 0.928 to 0.956. (2) The six key environmental variables that affect Ampelopsis grossedentata distribution were precipitation in the driest month, precipitation of driest quarter, annual rainfall, monthly average radiation in May, altitude, and minimum temperature of coldest month. The thresholds of key environmental variables in the highly suitable region were 30-90mm, 130-300mm, 1600-2450mm, 14000-15200KJ·m−2·d−1, ＜1100m and 4.0-9.0℃, respectively. (3) Under the SSP126 scenario, the area of highly and moderately suitable region for Ampelopsis grossedentata could be increased. The area of suitable region from 2081 to 2100 was the largest at 1.822 million km2. SSP245 scenario was not as effective as SSP126 scenario in increasing the region of suitable region. However, it was stronger than SSP585 scenario, which was mainly reflected by an increase in the highly suitable regions of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Yunan, and Hunan that had degenerated, and an increase in the moderately suitable regions of southeastern Sichuan. Under the SSP585 scenario, some high-probability regions in Guizhou, Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi had gradually degenerated into medium-probability regions, and the middle-probability region in Hainan had degenerated into low-probability regions, and the total number of suitable regions in China from 2081 to 2100 was the lowest in history. (4) From 2041 to 2100, the total suitable region of Ampelopsis grossedentata only increased under the SSP126 climate scenario, and decreased under the SSP245 and SSP585 climate scenarios. Regardless of the climate scenario, the centroid of the total suitable area will move away from the current junction of Hunan and Guangxi, and it would move 46 to 80 km to the south of Hunan, slightly to the north and east.

Calcium Modified Corn Straw Biochar Effect on Phosphate Adsorption and Phosphorus Release Inhibition in Sediment WANG Xiao-rui, LIU Yue-min, ZHANG Hua-sheng, BAI Tao, ZHANG Xiao-wen Chinese Journal of Agrometeorology    2025, 46 (2): 169-178.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-6362.2025.02.004 Abstract （343）      PDF（pc） （1252KB）（691）       Knowledge map    Save  Preparation of calcium-modified biochar (Ca−BC) using corn stover biochar (BC) as raw material and calcium chloride (CaCl2) as modifier. The changes in morphological composition of biochar before and after modification were compared, and the effect of Ca−BC on the phosphate adsorption and the role of different pH for it were explored. Meanwhile, investigated the effect of Ca−BC on various forms of phosphorus in the substrate, to clarify the effect of Ca−BC on the control of phosphorus in the water body and the substrate. The results showed: (1) compared with BC, Ca−BC had a denser pore structure, larger specific surface area, and more adsorption sites and oxygen−containing functional groups. Under neutral conditions, Ca−BC prepared at a CaCl2 concentration of 1.0mol·L−1 had the best adsorption effect on phosphate, at which time the removal rate of phosphate could reach 88.3%, which was nearly 3 times higher removal rate than BC. (2) The adsorption process of Ca−BC on phosphate conformed to the quasi−primary, quasi−secondary kinetic model and Langmuir isothermal adsorption model, which was mainly determined by single−molecule adsorption and influenced by both diffusion and chemisorption, and the theoretical maximum adsorption amount reaches 15.6mol·L−1. (3) Addition of Ca−BC to the substrate, the proportion of exchange phosphorus (Ex−P), organic phosphorus (Org−P), and calcium−bound phosphorus (Ca−P) decreased from 0.5% to 0.3%, 22.6% to 19.4%, and 39.1% to 41.5%. Therefore, the addition of Ca−BC can promote the morphological transformation of substrate phosphorus, resulting in a decrease in the proportion of potentially reactive phosphorus and an increase in the proportion of stable state phosphorus, reducing the risk of substrate phosphorus release.

Effects of Elevated Nutrient Solution Concentration on Growth and Nutrient Absorption of Lettuce under High Temperature Environment in Greenhouse ZHU Huai-wei, FANG Qiao-xian, ZHENG Ze-hua, WANG Guang-lun, FU Ya-ting Chinese Journal of Agrometeorology    2025, 46 (4): 533-545.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-6362.2025.04.009 Abstract （326）      PDF（pc） （1403KB）（269）       Knowledge map    Save A hydroponic planting experiment in the southern plastic greenhouse with lettuce was conducted to investigate the effects of two nutrient solution concentrations supply on leaf number, plant height, fresh weight, dry weight and leaf nutrient element content (Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn) at different growth stages under high temperature environment. The two levels of temperature environment for lettuce growth were set as high temperature environment (H) and normal temperature environment (N). The nutrient solution concentration was expressed by EC (μS·cm−1), which was set as normal concentration (CK, 1500μS·cm−1) and elevated concentration (C1, 1900μS·cm−1). The results showed that, (1) high temperature environment increased daily average temperature in the growth of lettuce leaves and nutrient solution by 13.9℃ and 12.0℃, daily minimum temperature by 13.9℃and 11.8℃, daily maximum temperature by 14.4℃and 12.7℃, respectively, compared with normal temperature environment. (2) Under normal temperature environment, elevated concentration increased leaf number, plant height, shoot fresh weight, root fresh weight, shoot dry weight and root dry weight at the harvesting stage by 15.2%, 16.9%, 63.2%, 24.4%, 28.5% and 6.6%, respectively, compared with normal concentration. However, under high temperature environment, normal concentration increased above growth indicators by 54.2%, 41.0%, 249.5%, 496.0%, 169.6% and 353.4% at the harvesting stage, respectively, compared with elevated concentration. (3) High temperature environment promoted the contents of Ca, Mg and Fe in lettuce leaves. Under normal temperature environment, elevated concentration significantly promoted the contents of Mn and Cu in lettuce leaves at the harvesting stage by 22.7% and 61.5%, while unsignificant difference occurred in the contents of Ca, Mg, Fe and Zn, compared with normal concentration. Furthermore, under high temperature environment, normal concentration significantly promoted the contents of Ca and Mn in lettuce leaves at the harvesting stage by 34.5% and 44.9%, while didn’t affect the contents of Mg, Cu and Zn significantly, compared with elevated concentration. It is suggested that temperature environment and nutrient solution concentration have significant effects on hydroponic lettuce growth and nutrient absorption, and increasing lettuce yield, quality and fertilizer efficiency can be achieved by adjusting nutrient solution concentration during the actual production of hydroponic lettuce in Summer and Autumn/Winter.

The results showed that drought in the apple growing region of Zhaotong was characterized by a pattern of frequency, seasonality, suddenness, severity and sub−seasonality. The drought in each development stage followed as: there was a large difference in the frequency of occurrence, fruitlet (55y)>harvest and dormancy (49y)> anthesis (20y)> bud(19y)> expansion(8y), and the extreme drought were most likely to occur at the end of the fruiting period and during late harvests. The duration of drought was between 1−4 ten−days, and there were significant differences in CDI, with the mean of fruitlet(335.0%)>dormancy (172.7%)>bud(137.7%)>harvest(137.1%)>anthesis(68.1%)>expansion(8.0%). The thresholds for the classification and identification of drought risk intensity were different, sensitivity to drought stress of stage was expansion>anthesis>harvest> fruitlet>bud>dormancy. The risk of severe drought disasters was seasonal and the fruitlet>bud>harvest>expansion>anthesis>dormancy. Drought risk had shown multi-scale periodic, phased and abrupt changes, with a general trend of increasing drought risk since 1991.  Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

Response of Radial Growth of Chinese Fir to Climate Change in Jinggangshan National Nature Reserve WEI Yu-gui, YE Qing, LU Guo-fan, FENG Wen-zhong, HAN Xiao-zhi, HUANG Zhi-qiang, DENG Wen-ping Chinese Journal of Agrometeorology    2025, 46 (2): 179-188.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-6362.2025.02.005 Abstract （312）      PDF（pc） （13472KB）（99）       Knowledge map    Save The tree-ring width of Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) trees in Jinggangshan National Nature Reserve was measured using the dendrochronology method, and then a standardized chronology was established. The radial growth response to climatic factors was further analyzed using wavelet analysis, multivariate regression, and binary wavelet coherence analysis methods. Our findings could provide valuable theoretical insights into the management of Chinese fir in the nature reserves. The results revealed that from 1960 to 2020, the annual average temperature and annual precipitation in the Jinggangshan National Nature Reserve showed an increasing trend. However, the change trend of mean annual relative humidity was not significant. From 1961 to 2022, the standard chronology of Chinese fir was suitable for dendroclimatology analysis, but the interannual variation of radial growth is not pronounced. There were three dominant periodicities: 60y, 37y, and 20y. The radial growth of Chinese fir was primarily influenced by the maximum temperature in the previous July, the average relative air humidity in October , and the precipitation in January. The analysis with crossed wavelet transform showed that the radial growth of Chinese fir exhibited a lag of 6−9 months on a 2−3y time scale, relative to maximum temperature in the previous July. There was a significant positive correlation between covariance periods and average relative air humidity in October and precipitation in January. The radial growth showed a two-period covariance with maximum temperature in the previous July. The first cycle, scaled to 6−7y, showed a lag of 9−10.5 months in relation to the temperature. The second cycle, scaled to 2−3y, displayed a lag of 6−9 months. There was a significant positive correlation between the average relative air humidity in October and the radial growth in the current year. January precipitation in the current year exhibited a lag of 3−6 months on a scale of 1−2y. In a summary, the radial growth of Chinese fir in Jinggangshan National Nature Reserve is primarily influenced by precipitation, temperature, and average relative air humidity, which are the key climatic factors.  Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）

Effects of Drought Stress and Post-drought Rewatering on Physiological Characteristics of Potato Leaves during Flowering and Tuber Expansion Stages TAN Yue, LIU Qing, WANG Yu-fei, SUN Qin-hong, WANG Liang, WANG Li-wei, LIU Li-min, LU Zeng-xin Chinese Journal of Agrometeorology    2025, 46 (2): 189-200.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-6362.2025.02.006 Abstract （310）      PDF（pc） （683KB）（552）       Knowledge map    Save The water control experiment of potato was conducted in Shenyang Agricultural University. Potato flowering period and tuber expansion period were selected, and the mild drought (relative soil moisture during flowering period was 50% and that during tuber expansion period was 60%), moderate drought (relative soil moisture during flowering period was 40% and that during tuber expansion period was 50%) and severe drought (relative soil moisture during flowering period was 30% and that during tuber expansion period was 40%) and control (relative soil moisture during flowering period was 70% and that during tuber expansion period was 80%), rewatering treatment was carried out after 5 days of drought at all levels in each growth period, and the rewatering level was controlled to the control level. After the experiment, measure the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD), proline and soluble sugar content, as well as chlorophyll a and total chlorophyll content in leaves, and the effects of drought stress and post-drought rewatering on potato leaf physiological characteristics were studied. The results showed that under light and moderate drought stress, the SOD and POD activities of leaves at flowering period were increased by 19.4%−32.3% and 20.8%−33.9% compared with the control, and the SOD and POD activities of leaves at tuber expansion period were increased by 17.4%−23.0% and 4.8%−25.3% compared with the control, respectively. The antioxidant enzyme activity of leaves decreased significantly in two critical periods. With the aggravation of drought stress, the content of osmotic regulatory substances in leaves increased sharply. Proline content was 2.7 times that of CK under severe drought stress in flowering period and twice that of CK under severe drought stress in tuber expansion period. The soluble sugar content of leaves at flowering period and tuber expansion period was 33.9%−44.4% and 17.8%−35.1% higher than that of control, respectively. After 5 days of drought stress, the content of proline in leaves decreased by 21.7%−59.1% compared with the drought treatment. However, after 5 days of severe drought in flowering period and moderate severe drought in tuber expansion period, the content of soluble sugar in leaves did not change significantly. Under drought stress, the contents of chlorophyll a and total chlorophyll at flowering period decreased by 12.8%−33.0% and 14.0%−36.9% compared with the control, and the contents of chlorophyll a and total chlorophyll at tuber expansion period decreased by 10.4%−15.2% and 12.0%−14.7% compared with the control, respectively. The contents of chlorophyll a and total chlorophyll in leaves increased by 10.9%−23.0% and 11.5%−15.1%, respectively, compared with that under drought treatment. Rehydration in time after drought could alleviate the damage caused by drought stress to a certain extent. Related Articles | Metrics | Comments（0）
