“…The diffuse radiation was taken into account in this study and showed high significance during the grain-filling period ( Fig. 2 ) as observed by Liu et al [ 43 ], which detailed an increment of 5.9 % in grain production under high solar radiation incidence during grain-filling. Some outputs of JULES-crop such as FSMC and LDM were selected with lower frequency during the cycle in comparison to the others ( Fig.…”

“…Previous studies have shown that both environmental conditions and the genetic characteristics of cultivars impact GY ( Gao et al, 2021 ; Liu et al, 2021 ; Han et al, 2022 ). Environmental factors, such as high temperature and low relative humidity, adversely affect plant growth leading to yield losses because of the amount of water lost through evapotranspiration.…”

Maize (Zea mays L.) is the second most commonly produced and consumed crop after wheat globally and is adversely affected by high heat, which is a significant abiotic stress factor. This study was carried out to determine the physiological and biochemical responses of hybrid corn varieties under heat stress (‘HS’) compared to control (‘C’) conditions during the 2020 and 2021 growing seasons. The experiment was conducted under natural conditions in the Southeastern region of Turkey, where the most intense temperatures are experienced. This experiment used split plots in randomized blocks with three replications, with ‘HS’ and ‘C’ growing conditions applied to the main plots and the different hybrid corn varieties (FAO 650) planted on the sub plots. Mean values of days to 50% tasseling (DT, day), grain yield (GY, kg ha−1), leaf water potential (LWP, %), chlorophyll-a (Chl-a, mg g−1), cell membrane damage (CMD, %), and total phenol content (TPC, μg g−1) were significantly different between years, growing conditions, and hybrid corn varieties. Changes in the climate played a significant role in the differences between the years and growing conditions (GC), while the genetic characteristics of the different corn varieties explained the differences in outcomes between them. The values of DT, GY, LWP, Chl-a, CMD, and TPC ranged from 49.06–53.15 days, 9,173.0–10,807.2 kg ha−1, 78.62–83.57%, 6.47–8.62 mg g−1, 9.61–13.54%, and 232.36–247.01 μg g−1, respectively. Significant correlations were recorded between all the parameters. Positive correlations were observed between all the variables except for CMD. The increased damage to cell membranes under ‘HS’ caused a decrease in the other measured variables, especially GY. In contrast, the GY increased with decreased CMD. CMD was important in determining the stress and tolerance level of corn varieties under ‘HS’ conditions. The GY and other physiological parameters of ADA 17.4 and SYM-307 candidate corn varieties surpassed the control hybrid corn cultivars. The results revealed that the ADA 17.4 and SYM-307 cultivars might have ‘HS’-tolerate genes.

Global climate change has had a significant impact on crop production and agricultural water use. Investigating different future climate scenarios and their possible impacts on crop production and water consumption is critical for proposing effective responses to climate change. In this study, based on daily downscaled climate data from 22 Global Climate Models (GCMs) provided by Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6), we applied the well-validated Agricultural Production Systems sIMulator (APSIM) to simulate crop phenology, yield, and water use of the rice–wheat rotation at four representative stations (including Hefei and Shouxian stations in Anhui province and Kunshan and Xuzhou stations in Jiangsu province) across the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain, China during the 2041–2070 period (2050s) under four Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (i.e., SSP126, SSP245, SSP370, and SSP585). The results showed a significant increase in annual mean temperature (Temp) and solar radiation (Rad), and annual total precipitation (Prec) at four investigated stations, except Rad under SSP370. Climate change mainly leads to a consistent advance in wheat phenology, but inconsistent trends in rice phenology across four stations. Moreover, the reproductive growth period (RGP) of wheat was prolonged while that of rice was shorted at three of four stations. Both rice and wheat yields were negatively correlated with Temp, but positively correlated with Rad, Prec, and CO2 concentration ([CO2]). However, crop ET was positively correlated with Rad, but negatively correlated with [CO2], as elevated [CO2] decreased stomatal conductance. Moreover, the water use efficiency (WUE) of rice and wheat was negatively correlated with Temp, but positively correlated with [CO2]. Overall, our study indicated that the change in Temp, Rad, Prec, and [CO2] have different impacts on different crops and at different stations. Therefore, in the impact assessment for climate change, it is necessary to explore and analyze different crops in different regions. Additionally, our study helps to improve understanding of the impacts of climate change on crop production and water consumption and provides data support for the sustainable development of agriculture.
