Compound climatic extreme events amplify food insecurity
The increasing co-occurrence of climatic hazards poses growing risks to crop production, yet their implications for rice supply and self-sufficiency remain insufficiently quantified. Here, we combine a vine-copula framework with calibrated ORYZA (v3) model to characterize nonlinear dependencies among climate indicators, estimate the probability of compound climatic events, and assess their impacts on rice yield potential, yield gaps, and national…
Drought impacts on global crop production decline despite its frequency and severity intensifying
Climate change is intensifying the frequency and severity of droughts, posing a significant threat to global crop production. Accurately quantifying drought impacts is challenging and critical for mitigation. Here, we use a high-resolution, bottom–up assessment framework to analyze drought impacts on yields of four major crops—maize, soybean, rice, and wheat—at county, provincial, and national levels over 1997–2021. Results show yield losses esca…
Threat of low-frequency high-intensity floods to global cropland and crop yields
Novel cropping-system strategies in China can increase plant protein with higher economic value but lower greenhouse gas emissions and water use
Response of rice phenology to climate warming weakened across China during 1981–2018
Climate warming has substantially shifted plant phenology, which alters the length of growing season and consequently affects plant productivity. Recent studies showed a stalled or reversed impact of climate change on vegetation phenology since 1998, as well as an asymmetric warming effect. However, how field crop phenology responded to the recent climate warming and the asymmetric warming remains unknown. In addition, the relative roles of clima…
Evidence for increasing global wheat yield potential
Wheat is the most widely grown food crop, with 761 Mt produced globally in 2020. To meet the expected grain demand by mid-century, wheat breeding strategies must continue to improve upon yield-advancing physiological traits, regardless of climate change impacts. Here, the best performing doubled haploid (DH) crosses with an increased canopy photosynthesis from wheat field experiments in the literature were extrapolated to the global scale with a …
Planning maize hybrids adaptation to future climate change by integrating crop modelling with machine learning
Crop hybrid improvement is an efficient and environmental-friendly option to adapt to climate change and increase grain production. However, the adaptability of existing hybrids to a changing climate has not been systematically investigated. Therefore, little is known about the appropriate timing of hybrid adaptation. Here, using a novel hybrid model which coupled CERES-Maize with machine learning, we critically investigated the impacts of climat…
Identifying the spatiotemporal changes of annual harvesting areas for three staple crops in China by integrating multi-data sources
Reliable and continuous information on major crop harvesting areas is fundamental to investigate land surface dynamics and make policies affecting agricultural production, land use, and sustainable development. However, there is currently no spatially explicit and time-continuous crop harvesting area information with a high resolution for China. The spatiotemporal patterns of major crop harvesting areas at a national scale have rarely been invest…
Public perception and responses to environmental pollution and health risks
Concerns have been raised among policy-makers, researchers and Chinese citizens regarding the widespread environmental degradation that has occurred in China in recent decades. Years of environmental education and media coverage on pollution harm and health risks have not only provided information about pollution to the public, but have also strengthened people’s concerns. However, an ‘intense focus’ on pollution is far from sufficient; at presen…
Terrestrial Water Cycle and the Impact of Climate Change
The terrestrial water cycle and the impact of climate change are critical for agricultural and natural ecosystems. In this paper, we assess both by running a macro-scale water balance model under a baseline condition and 2 General Circulation Model (GCM)-based climate change scenarios. The results show that in 2021–2030, water demand will increase worldwide due to climate change. Water shortage is expected to worsen in western Asia, the Arabian P…
