Abstract:High concentrations of air pollutants could affect crop yield directly via influencing crop physiology and indirectly via regulating climate conditions. How multiple air pollutants affect crop yields directly and indirectly remains elusive in the North China Plain (NCP), which is the hotspot of air pollution and crop production. Here, we construct data-driven models to quantify the indirect effects of four major air pollutants on the yields of winter wheat and summer maize through modulating climate variations… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
