Based on data of daily precipitation, temperature, sunshine hours, relative humidity, wind speed and vapor pressure of 70 meteorological stations from 1960 to 2019 in Shanxi Province, the Penman-Monteith model was applied to calculate the reference evapotranspiration (ET). The spatiotemporal variations of ET as well as the ET in different climatic zones and at different altitudes were quantitatively analyzed. The results showed that the mean annual ET decreased from west to east in 1960-2019.

Article Synopsis
  • A dynamic evaluation indicator for assessing rice heat damage was developed, focusing on the timing and duration of high-temperature weather events affecting rice crops.
  • The study utilized historical meteorological and phenological data specific to double-early rice in Jiangxi Province to create a rice heat index (M) that analyzes heat risk.
  • Results indicated that the starting time of hot weather significantly impacts rice heat damage, identifying key risk areas in the middle and northeast regions of Jiangxi Province.

Flood level indicators of southwest provinces were built in this study by using daily precipitation data of 341 weather stations in southwest agricultural areas from 1961 to 2010 combined with grey correlation analysis. In the process of building the indicators, we took single station flood indicators of Chongqing as the prototype. Through increasing and decreasing the precipitation threshold of Chongqing indicators by the amplitude of -50-+50 mm and the step size of 1 mm, each province got 101 groups of flood indicators.

Article Synopsis
  • - Freeze injury significantly affects winter wheat growth by impacting chlorophyll content, which is a key indicator of plant health.
  • - The study utilized hyperspectral reflectance analysis and continuous wavelet transform to establish a correlation between chlorophyll levels and freeze stress severity, leading to the development of a linear regression model for prediction.
  • - Results showed that chlorophyll content could be effectively estimated using specific wavelet features, and this method can also be applied to analyze other plant biochemical elements across various species.

In order to detect the freeze injury stress level of winter wheat growing in natural environment fast and accurately, the present paper takes winter wheat as experimental object. First winter wheat canopy hyperspectral data were treated with resampling smooth Second hyperspectral data were analyzed based on principal components analysis (PCA), a freeze injury inversion model was established, stems survival rate was dependent, and principal components of spectral data were chosen as independent variables. Third, the precision of the model was testified.

Based on the 1951-2006 climatic observation data from 224 meteorological stations in South China (Guangdong Province, Guangxi Autonomous Region, and Fujian Province) and the historical information about the chilling injury losses of banana and litchi, the accumulated harmful chilling for the processes with minimum daily temperature < or = 5.0 degrees C and more than 3 days was used to indicate the climatic risk of chilling injury during the whole growth season, and an integrated climatic index with the background of climate change was constructed. The maps of geographical distribution of climatic risk probability for each grade chilling injury, and of integrated climatic risk zoning for banana and litchi's chilling injury were drawn, and the spatial variation of climatic risk for banana and litchi's chilling injury was commented.

Article Synopsis
  • A study analyzed temperature data from 620 meteorological stations in China, comparing annual accumulated temperatures above 10°C between two periods: 1951-1978 and 1979-2005.
  • The findings indicated that most regions, particularly in Northeast, North, and South China, experienced higher accumulated temperatures above 10°C in the later period.
  • Additionally, the study noted shifts in the starting and ending dates of accumulated temperature periods, with northern areas starting earlier and southern areas starting later, while the duration of these temperature periods generally increased across many regions.
