Climate, agricultural production and hydrological balance in the North China Plain

Abstract: ABSTRACT:The North China Plain (NCP) is the largest agricultural production area in China. The extensive use of groundwater for irrigation agriculture under variable climatic conditions has resulted in the rapid decline of the groundwater table especially in areas north of the Yellow River, leading to hydrological imbalance and unsustainable agricultural production. This article analyses the sustainable level of vegetation/crop water use under the NCP climate by mimicking the evapotranspiration of a natural fo… Show more

“…The RMSE of simulated as compared to measured biomass, LAI, available soil water content and grain yield was 0.88 t ha −1 , 0.72, 27 mm and 0.64 t ha −1 , respectively. The obtained parameter values and resulting accuracies are consistent with other studies using APSIM for wheat and maize simulation in the NCP (Wang et al, 2008). Fig.…”

“…The Angstrom equation was used to calculate the daily global solar radiation from sunshine hours with a = 0.18 and b = 0.55. Trends in weather in the study area have previously been described (Wang et al, 2008). A small belowground net lateral inflow ( L = 16 mm/year) coming from the mountains in the west was taken into account (Zhang et al, 2009).…”
