Long term（1958-12—2001-11）climate simulations over China by both PRECIS and RegCM3, with the same configuration of boundary and initial conditions, domain and horizontal resolution, were carried out, so as to analyze and compare the two models simulation capacity for climatology and interannual variability of temperature and precipitation over China. The principal conclusions were given as follows. Both models performed well in simulating the spatial distribution features of annual mean temperature. However, there was about 1.5℃ of warm bias for PRECIS while 0.8℃ of cold bias for RegCM3, a mean 2～3℃ difference could be found between the two models. The models could also well reproduce the inter annual variability of temperature, but compared with observation, there were still some differences about the location and intensity of variability centre in the simulated results of the two models. As for the annual precipitation and the corresponding interannual variability, both PRECIS and RegCM3 had certain simulation capacity.Compared with RegCM3, PRECIS was more consistent with observations in terms of the simulated location and intensity of heavy precipitation centre and areas with larger variability.

Using 50-year data from 80 stations in the northern area of China, the extreme temperatures and precipitation indexes were calculated, and the long term trend was also analyzed. The results showed that both maximum and minimum temperatures in North China exhibited a significantly rising trend, with the former being less than the latter in amplitude. After climate abrupt, maximum temperature trend in North China rose significantly with cold night index (TN10) declining obviously, but warm night index（TN90）showing an ascendant trend. After climate mutations, TN10 also showed an obvious decreasing trend. That is, cold day index (TX10) declined, and warm day index (TX90) showed an ascendant trend. In terms of space distribution, maximum temperature large value was located in the west Inner Mogolia and the most areas of Shanxi province, whereas minimum temperature large value was in BeijingTianjinHebei and northeast Shanxi province. The extreme precipitation, rainfall frequency and precipitation intensity in North China tended to decline. Extreme rainfall, extreme precipitation mutation and extreme precipitation intensity showed a striking decreasing trend. Rainfall and rainfall intensity had the same return year of 16 years and 8 years. Strong snow quantity, frequency and intensity showed a clear rising trend. In North China, 〖JP2〗extreme precipitation was roughly distributed from the northwestsoutheast to the north, while in southern North China (e.g. in Hebei province and Shanxi province) extreme precipitation reduced in BeijingTianjin region. Extreme precipitation frequency distribution increased from the east to the west, with a most significant rising trend in the middle area of Shanxi province.

The study of soil respiration under different crops is important to the carbon cycle research in the agro ecosystem. In this study, soil respiration of mung bean (Vigna radiate L.) field and maize (Zea mays L.) field in hilly area of North China were measured during the growing period of July-October 2006 based on the IRGA technique. The diurnal and seasonal variations of soil respiration at two agro ecosystems were analyzed. The results showed that the overall soil respiration rate of mung bean field was 2.11μmol·m-2·s-1, larger than 1.90μmol·m-2·s-1 at maize field significantly.There were significant seasonal variations of soil respiration at two agro ecosystems, and the amplitude changes in maize field was larger than in the mung bean field. The maximum respiration rates of maize and mung bean cropland both occurred at August 9. Statistic analysis showed soil temperature was the dominant environmental factor affecting the seasonal variation of soil respiration. Moreover, both the vant Hoff model and Arrhenius model satisfactorily described the soil respiration as a function of soil temperature at the two systems with R2 more than 0.73. No significant correlation between soil respiration and soil water content was found. The temperature sensitivity of soil respiration (Q10) was 3.31 and 2.16 for the maize and mung bean field, respectively. The Arrhenius model present a better performance than the vant Hoff model, and the soil activation energy in the maize field (79.41kJ·mol-1) was larger than in the mung bean field (55.72kJ·mol-1).

Taking Erhai basin, Yunnan province as an example, this paper investigated the effect of sub division level on simulations of runoff and sediment load under SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) framework, and determined the optimal sub division scheme.Results showed that the annual average runoff depth increased with the number of the sub watershed，but the sensitivity was relatively small，and the relative deviation was only 0.89%.In contrast，the annual average sediment load decreased with the number of the sub watershed，and the sensitivity was relatively large，the relative deviation being 21.21%.Considering the response of both the annual average runoff depth and sediment load to the sub division scheme, a threshold value of 137 was proposed as the optimal sub division level in Erhai basin, and the average area of the sub watershed accounts for 0.73% of the total basin area.Above this critical value, the simulated runoff depth and sediment load were stabilized, and their accuracy could not be improved further.According to our results, the method, using ratio of a subwatershed to total basin area to determine the optimal number of sub watershed in previous studies, cannot describe the real condition in a basin.Our results have implication for hydrological simulations and non point source pollution simulations in other similar complex topographical watershed.

Based on the meteorological data both inside and outside the plastic greenhouse in Cixi, Zhejiang province and agricultural meteorological experimental station of Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, three BP neural network models were established, which the input variable was chosen as radiation solar outdoor, air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed, and output variable was chosen as temperature indoor and relative humidity. The results showed that all of the root mean square error (RMSE) between trained air temperature and measured value from three models was no more than 2℃ and the relative error (RE) no more than 4% respectively. Both RMSE and RE between trained relative humidity and measured value was no more than 7 percent points and 7%. All of the RMSE between predicted air temperature and measured value from three models was 2℃ approximately, and their RE was no more than 6% in spring, less than that in winter. RMSE and RE predicated relative humidity and measured value was no more than 7percent points and 9% respectively. The results indicated that three BP neural network models had quite precisely for predicting temperature indoor and relative humidity in plastic greenhouse, which could meet the forecast requirements for plastic greenhouse microclimate.

The effect of elevated CO2 and N supply on nitrogen content and uptake in flag leaf and head, the nitrate reductase activity (NRA) of flag leaf of winter wheat was studied at FACE (Free Air CO2 Enrichment) system. The results showed that elevated CO2 increased 7.59% nitrogen content and 16.3% nitrogen uptake in head at dough stage, respectively, and decreased 10.98% nitrogen content and 22.24% nitrate reductase activity in flag leaf. Nitrogen uptake and nitrate reductase activity did not change significantly under normal nitrogen input than low nitrogen input. The results indicated that elevated CO2 increased N demand in head, inhibited the assimilation of NO3ˉ. So, it was not the best option for meeting more nitrogen demand in head to increase nitrogen input under elevated CO2.

Field experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of nitrogen (N) supply on diurnal physiological characteristics in barley leaves at booting stage under enhanced UV-B radiation. The experiment was designed with two UV-B radiation levels, i.e. ambient (CK, 1.5kJ·m-2·h-1) and enhanced by 20% (1.8kJ·m-2·h-1), and two N supply levels, i.e. 30kg·ha-1(low) and 150kg·ha-1(high), and performed at the station of agricultural meteorology, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology. The results showed that, enhanced UV-B radiation decreased net photosynthetic rate (Pn), transpiration rate (Tr), stomatal conductivity (Gs) and water use efficiency (WUE) by 44.6%, 21.8%, 17.8% and 28.4% under high N level, respectively, and reduced by 49.5%, 11.8%, 12.9% and 42.7% under low nitrogen level, respectively. The findings suggested that enhanced UV-B radiation depressed photosynthesis and water use efficiency in barley leaves, increasing N supply could alleviate the damage to net photosynthetic rate from enhanced UV-B radiation，but not to transpiration rate and stomatal conductivity. Based on the diurnal change of intercellular CO2 concentration in relation to net photosynthetic rate, it indicates that N supply and enhanced UV-B radiation impacted photosynthesis directly by the process of photosynthetic reaction, not by stomatal conductivity in barley leaves at booting stage.

Responses of soybean (Glycine max,Bayuehuang) to enhanced ozone,supplemental UV-B radiation and in combination,were investigated in this paper by using open-top-chambers(OTCs).Four treatments were exposing to unfiltered air(CK),ozone content with 100nmol/mol(T1),UV-B radiation levels with 10% higher than control group(T2) and combination treatment(T3).The results showed that the single factor ozone or UV radiation had different degrees of negative effects on soybean height,leaf area,stem dry weight and other biomass.Combined impact of two factors was inconsistent,antagonism was showed mostly form branch period to pod bearing period,on the contrary,synergy was in the mayor role in the end of period fertility.The change of stem allocation index was relatively small,leaf and root allocation index was gradually reduced,and pod distribution index was rising rapidly under different treatments in the whole growth period.Thus,the single-factor stress of ozone or UV-B radiation on soybean biomass and yield was different degrees of negative effects,while the interactived effects were not equal to addition.

Modified biochar was studied as a soil additive in this paper to increase use efficiency of soil nitrate nitrogen (NO3-N) and available phosphorous (P) in soil profile,and reduce the leaching risk.The best modified condition for crop biochar were determined by laboratory experiment and the effect of modified biochar on leaching of soil NO3-N and available P was studied by soil column simulation test.The Fe3+ to biochar mass ratio of 0.7 was tested to be the best modified condition which would increase the absorption of NO3-N and available P greatlyModified biochar could absorb 12 more times of NO3-N and 66 more times of available P compared to unmodified biochar,in a KNO3 solution with 50mg·L-1 N concentration and a 50mg·L-1 P concentration KH2PO4 solution,the maximum amount of absorption was 2.47mg·g-1for NO3-N and 1658mg·g-1 for available P,respectively When 2.5%,5% and 10% of best modified biochar was added in soil,the NO3-N leakage was significantly reduced,by 20%,43% and 59% respectively compared to the control with no biochar addition. Available P leakage was also significantly decreased,by 45%,59% and 75% respectively.This study demonstrated that adding modified biochar in soil could effectively reduce NO3-N and P leakage in the soil profile.

In this paper,the current studying progresses about the effects of biochar application on agro ecosystem with respect to soil physicochemical properties,soil microbes,carbon sequestration,crop productivity,and greenhouse gases (GHGs) emission were reviewed.In summary,biochar application could improve soil fertility,soil biota habitat and nutrient use efficiency (nitrogen,phosphorus).On the other hand,there was still some uncertainty about the effects of biochar application on crop productivity (either yield or aboveground biomass).The stability of biochar played a key role in soil carbon accumulation,whereas the detailed degradation process of biochar had not been fully understood.Biochar affected the decomposition of native soil organic matter,known as the priming effect,while the priming direction (positive or negative) and magnitude varied by soil and biochar types.Considering the GHGs emission,the influence of biochar application on soil respiration and CH4 evolution had some uncertainty,whereas biochar application was proved to be effective in mitigating N2O emissions.These uncertainties mentioned above might be explained by the differences in biochar properties,application rates,soil types and fertility conditions.Thus,long term field experiments should be carried out in order to evaluate the influences and functions of biochar amendment objectively.

PyWOFOST model based on Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) was introduced to assimilate LAI into crop model. Meteorological data, agrometeorological data and MODIS LAI data were used to test the applicability of PyWOFOST model in simulating maize yield in Northeast China. 16 agrometeorological stations with effective MODIS LAI data which distributed evenly and contained all maize varieties in study area were selected to model maize LAI and yield on each stations at different levels of uncertainty of TSUM1(Thermal time from emergence to anthesis）. The result showed that, compared with WOFOST model, the PyWOFOST model greatly improved in simulating LAI and yield of maize. The mean errors of maize yield simulated by PyWOFOST were 10.32%，9.25%，7.31% and 8.49% at the uncertainty of TSUM1 with 0，10，20，30℃ respectively which all were lower than the mean error of maize yield (10.55%) simulated by WOFOST without assimilating LAI. The trajectory of LAI simulated by PyWOFOST which was more in line with maize growth and development trends was closer to observed LAI than LAI simulated by WOFOST. Therefore, the PyWOFOST based on EnKF was applicable for yield simulation of maize in Northeast China.

 Based on disasteraffected areas of drought, flood, windhail, low temperature, combining with grain yield data in Northeast China from 1971 to 2009, agrometeorological disasters tendency variation and their impacting on grain yield in Northeast China had been studied in this paper. The tendency variation results showed that, in recent 39 years, only disasteraffected area ratio of windhail presented decreasing tendency obviously, while flood, drought and low temperature existed phase characteristics. In 1970s, disasteraffected area ratio of drought was higher than flood, which was on the contrary in 1980-1990s, and recent period was in relatively dry phase again, in terms of low temperature, it began to rebound in early 1990s and early 21st century. R/S analysis showed that Hurst index results of 4 agrometeorological disasters were more than 0.5, indicating future tendency variation would be consistent with the past, namely, disasteraffected area ratio of windhail would continue to decrease, and drought would maintain the increment, while flood and low temperature would present fluctuant trend. Gray correlation analysis indicated that the impaction of agrometeorological disasters on average grain yield performed differently in different provinces, in Liaoning as, drought＞windhail＞flood＞low temperature, in Jilin as, flood＞drought＞low temperature＞windhail, in Heilongjiang as, drought＞flood＞low temperature＞windhail, which revealed drought and flood were major agrometeorological disasters during grain production, and the impacts of low temperature was much greater towards the high latitude in Northeast China.

Based on the observed data of conventional meteorological stations in Jiangsu province from 1960 to 2009 and the investigated data of the rice growth periods from 1980 to 2009, in this paper, the different growth periods of rice was calculated and determined statistically, the appropriate indicators of rice heat damage was selected, the temperature anomaly,the variability of its climatic trend and MK test were used to reflect the characteristics of climate warming in the different regions of Jiangsu province. The spatialtemporal distribution pattern of the rice heat damages in these regions was analyzed and the influence of the climate warming on it was discussed. The results showed as follows: (1)the heat damages of rice in Jiangsu province concentrated in the two growth periods from jointing to booting and heading to initial ripping. The occurrence frequency of rice heat damage in the south part of Jiangsu province was highest, it situated at the second place in the the region between the Yantze river and Huaihe river and the northern side of the Huaihe river and the coastal region of the province were the distribution regions of the low frequencies. (2) There were the obvious cycles of 13 years and 3 years in the occurrence frequencies of rice heat damages of Jiangsu province. The former was the main cycle and the later was the secondary cycle. (3) The annual average climatic trend variability of air temperature in Jiangsu province attained 0.2775℃·10y-1 from 1960 to 2009(P<0.01)and it was obvious for climate warming. As the annual average temperature of all regions decreased from 1960s and attained the lowest values in 1980s, it increased later and attained the highest values in the beginning ten years of 21st century. Respectively, the occurrence tendencies of the rice heat damages in the different regions were consistent to the evolution of the temperature. The occurrence frequency of the heat damage was the least in 1980s and the largest in the beginning ten years of 21st century. (4) The higher the mean temperature of July and August was, the more the occurrence frequency of rice heat damage was. For the north side of the Huaihe river, the mean temperature of July and August was highest in 1960s and the occurrence frequency of rice heat damage was most in this decade. But in the other regions of the province, the mean temperature of July and August was highest in 2000s and the occurrence frequency of rice heat damage was most in this decade. (5) In view of the interannual change, the occurrence frequencies of the rice heat damages were higher in the warmer climate years and the yields of rice were lower. It demonstrated that the climate warming was one of the important factors caused the increasing of the occurrence frequency of rice heat damage and the reducing of rice yields in Jiangsu province.

In order to reveal the effect of cold damage to rice setting rate, the coldresistant experiment was conducted with artificial climate chamber in Heilongjiang province, four major rice varieties with different coldresistant was selected. The results showed that the setting rate of Kongyu131 was 87% with strongest cold resistance after treatment of 8 days under 15℃, following by Longdao3 and Longdao7, and Kendao12 was 61.5 with slight cold resistant. The temperature of sterile type cold damage of Kongyu 〖JP2〗131 was 15℃〖KG*2〗at heading stage, after the treatment from 4 to 8 days, following by Longdao 3 and Longdao 7（16℃）, and Kendao 12（17℃）. The setting rate of all rice verities reduced to 743% with same accumulated temperature in one day (15℃). So the sterile type cool injury was severe for rice that was consistently in low temperature. Diurnal temperature variation reduced the setting rate from 79.5% to 82.4%, namely sterile type cold damage was weaker than that in normal temperature during partial period.

Matsucoccus matsumurae is the main pest endangered the pine. Meteorological condition of overwintering periods is the important factor of affecting population change. The effect of meteorological factors on  Matsucoccus matsumurae’mortality rate of overwintering was analyzed by using discriminate analysis, based on the selected meteorological factors. The results showed that  the lower the average lowest temperature of every ten ay period of November, the last tenday period of December and the first tenday period of March was, the higher mortality rate was. The more rainfall of the first tenday period of April was,the higher the mortality rate was. The prediction model of  Matsucoccus matsumurae’ mortality rate during overwintering was established by selecting meteorological factors, which has a direct bearing on  Matsucoccus matsumurae’ mortality rate and with longer statistic years, and the accuracy rate was 72%.The model could be used for preventing and controlling  Matsucoccus matsumurae.
