AB - Understanding the impacts of climate change on the Winter
wheat yield in Wugong region is important for effectively making relevant countermeasures
and policy. Based on the monthly weather data and Winter wheat yield data in
Wugong station from 1935-2010, the Mann-Kendall Method, Rescaled Range Analysis
Method (R/S), Straight Line Slipping Average Simulating Method and Path Analysis
Method were adopted to study the changing tendency of the main meteorological
factors, the aridity-humidity as well as the impacts of climate change on the
winter wheat yield in Wugong region. The results have shown that the minimum
temperature had an increasing trend, the wind speed, hours of sunshine and ET0
were all gradually decreasing, they have come to a remarkable level; SPI
was dropped, the climate trended to be drought gradually. Hurst indexes of ET0
and SPI (annual value and winter wheat growth period) were all >0.5 which
will appear to be the persistent trend in the future. The minimum temperature
increasing trend had the most powerful comprehensive determined ability on winter
wheat yield; the maximum temperature was the major limited weather factor of
the Winter wheat yield increasing. However, the negative impact of climate change
on the winter wheat production in Wugong region can be mitigated to some extent
by some technological innovations.
