“…Hawkins et al (2013) found for the period from 1960 to 2012, an inverse correlation between the number of hot days (T max > 32 C) and the % reduction in maize yield. During the heat wave of 2003, the maize yield in France fell by 20% as compared to the previous year (van der Velde et al, 2012).…”

“…Brown et al (2008) derived their evaluation of agricultural suitability from estimates of soil moisture deficit and accumulated temperature over the growing period. Tuan et al (2011) applied a multicriteria evaluation of temperature and precipitation to suitability for winter wheat and maize in the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain in China. Land suitabilities have widely been determined using traditional land evaluation (LE) procedures, comparing crop demands with land qualities, expressed in terms of soil characteristics.…”

“…The population in the HHHPC is densely concentrated in the northeastern edge, especially in the vicinity of the capital, Beijing. The altitude of almost the entire plain is below 50 m above sea level and the slope gradient is less than 3 ∘ [8]. The climate in the HHHPC is temperate, subhumid, and continental monsoon with a cumulative temperature (>0 ∘ C) from 4200 to 5500 ∘ C, a frost-free period of about 170 to 220 d, and average annual precipitation ranging between 500 and 800 mm [19].…”

“…Temporal and spatial variation of temperature plays a great role in the ecological environment changes and economic development [3,4] and directly or indirectly influences all kinds of the natural and biological system in many places [5]. Recent studies further implicated that temperature change had some irreversible impacts on the regional hydrological cycles [6] and agricultural activities [7,8]. Therefore, under the background of global warming, temporal and spatial variation of temperature has achieved great attention by many scientists.…”

Based on a monthly dataset of temperature time series in the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain of China (HHHPC), spatiotemporal variation and abrupt change analysis of temperature were examined by moving average, linear regression, spline interpolation, Mann-Kendall test, and moving t-test. Major conclusions were listed as follows. (1) Annual and seasonal temperature increased with different rates on the process of fluctuating changes during 1960∼2012. The upward trend was 0.22 ∘ C 10a −1 for annual temperature, while it was very significant in winter (0.34 ∘ C 10a −1 ) and spring (0.31 ∘ C 10a −1 ), moderately significant in autumn (0.21 ∘ C 10a −1 ), and nonsignificant in summer (0.05 ∘ C 10a −1 ). (2) The spatial changes of annual and seasonal temperature were similar. The temperature increased significantly in Beijing and its adjacent regions, while it was nonsignificant in the central and southern regions. (3) The spring, autumn, winter, and annual temperature had warm abrupt change. The abrupt change time for winter temperature was in the late 1970s, while it was in the late 1980s and early 1990s for spring, autumn, and annual temperature. (4) Macroscopic effects of global and regional climate warming and human activities were probably responsible for the temperature changes. The climate warming would influence the hydrological cycle and agricultural crops in the study area.

“…The prevailing double‐cropping system of winter wheat and summer maize in the NCP plays an important role in supplying grain to China (Li et al, 2005). However, this double‐cropping system consumes between 800 and 850 mm of water annually, which exceeds the amount of local rainfall significantly (Liu et al, 2002; Sun et al, 2010; Tuan et al, 2011). Irrigation is important for obtaining high yields for the two crops (Fang et al, 2010;Hu et al, 2010).…”

Performance of a Double Cropping System under a Continuous Minimum Irrigation Strategy

Conservation of groundwater resources is very important for the grain production in the North China Plain (NCP). Previous studies showed that under minimum irrigation strategy (MI), the popular double-cropping system of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and maize (Zea mays L.) in NCP might achieve sustainable groundwater use with a moderate yield penalty. Field experiments were continuously conducted from 2005 to 2012 to evaluate the long-term e ects of MI on the crops performance. e experiment compared the yield and crop water use under MI and full water supply conditions (full irrigation, FI). Results showed that yield reduction rate (YRR) under MI for wheat increased substantially and for maize decreased slightly. e diminishing rainfall during the rapid vegetative growing stages of wheat was partly responsible for this result. Soil moisture stored before sowing of wheat contributed around 61% of the seasonal crop water use under MI, and strongly a ected the nal grain production of this crop. e depleted soil moisture during wheat season was partly replenished during the maize season. Soil drying trend in deep soil layers under MI was not observed. is result indicated that the MI strategy was sustainable. e average annual crop water use over the 7 yr was 625 and 956 mm under MI and FI. With a 18.3% yield penalty, annual crop water use was reduced by 34.6% from FI to MI. Seasonal atmospheric evaporation demand a ected the grain production of both crops under MI and FI.
