Summary: Cotton phenological stages in general showed an advancing trend, while sowing and maturity dates were delayed; precipitation had a significant impact on the lengths of phenological stages, while sunshine duration and temperature had a smaller impact; the influence of climate change on cotton phenology was weaker, and planting longer-duration cotton varieties may be a better choice for adapting to climate change.

Summary: The study found that climate factors mainly affect maize grain yield through the impact on diurnal temperature range and photosynthetically active radiation. Changes in temperature and radiation directly influence the growth and yield of maize, providing important guidance for predicting future crop productivity under climate change and searching for effective mitigation strategies.

Summary: In this study, the spatiotemporal patterns of future temperature and precipitation changes over China were explored using the regional climate model PRECIS. The results show that overall, temperatures are projected to increase and precipitation is expected to rise in most regions of China. Different models predict significant seasonal and regional variations, with the northwest region showing larger increases in precipitation, potentially alleviating water shortages in the arid region.

Summary: Progressing climate change poses a significant threat to the agricultural sector, requiring a comprehensive assessment of the interactions between climatic and non-climatic factors on crop yield. The study highlights the complex relationships within the climate-land-yield triangle and the varying effects of economic and social disturbances on crop cultivation. Aggravating pressure from climate change suggests the need for targeted land management policies to address adverse climate impacts on winter wheat production.

Summary: Climate change has led to changes in agricultural production and climatic resources during the agricultural growing season in China. A longer potential agricultural growing season (PAGS) has been observed in recent decades, accompanied by changes and variations in temperature, precipitation, and insolation. The changes in PAGS were more pronounced in certain regions, with some areas experiencing unstable conditions. Comparisons between agro-climatic change and climate change showed that temperature alterations during the PAGS were less significant compared to precipitation and insolation. These findings contribute to our understanding of regional agricultural climate changes and can guide agricultural production practices.

Summary: This study investigates the long-term trends of phenological parameters of different vegetation types in China north of 30 degrees N and their responses to preseason temperature and precipitation. The results indicate that preseason temperature has a strong controlling effect on vegetation phenology. Crop phenology is greatly influenced by human activities, while preseason precipitation has a stronger impact on the end date of the growing season.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of meteorological parameters, such as temperature and precipitation, on gross primary production in the continental United States during the summer season. It reveals a strong linear relationship between temperature and precipitation indices and GPP. The study emphasizes the sensitivity of GPP to meteorological conditions in the Great Plains region and underscores the importance of understanding the relationship between crop yields and climate.

Summary: This study analyzed the spatiotemporal evolution and heterogeneity of cotton cultivation in China and quantified the response of cotton yield to climatic and agriculture technological factors. The findings showed that factors such as fertilizer usage, genetically modified varieties, and mechanized farming have contributed to the enhanced cotton yield. The effects of these factors vary across different regions.

Summary: Various climatic factors and their interactions affect China's snow depth alterations. Positive trends in winter snow depth in the northwest and northeast of China are mainly caused by solid precipitation and snow accumulation in fall, while the negative snow depth anomaly on the Tibetan Plateau is influenced by rising air temperature, changes in solid precipitation, and shallower fall snowpacks. In milder regions of central north and south China, the interannual variance in winter snow depth is also affected by atmospheric humidity. However, in spring and fall, the negative effect of warming climate becomes more important, contributing to the decrease in snow depth.

Summary: This study examined the trends and spatial distributions of cotton evapotranspiration and irrigation requirements in the North China Plain using historical climate data. The results showed a significant decrease in cotton evapotranspiration over the past five decades, with changes in effective rainfall and irrigation demands. Irrigation contributed 25% of cotton evapotranspiration, highlighting the impact of climate change on water requirements for cotton irrigation scheduling.

Summary: Climate change has a negative impact on maize yield in China, with temperature increase significantly reducing yield while precipitation change has negligible effects. The impact varies spatially, with southern China experiencing more significant impacts. However, the resilience of maize to climate change has been observed to be strong in both southern and northern China over time.
