Prediction of drought trigger thresholds for future winter wheat yield losses in China based on the DSSAT-CERES-Wheat model and Copula conditional probabilities

Agricultural Water Management, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 299, P. 108881 - 108881

Published: May 18, 2024

Predicting the risk of diminished wheat yields caused by drought under future climate change is essential for long-term sustainability agriculture. Although studies have explored relationship between and crop yield loss, precise thresholds triggering losses in remain unclear. In this study, we established a conditional probability framework trigger at various loss levels China's winter regions based on copula functions. The primary drivers influencing dynamics were evaluated using random forest model. results revealed that projected baseline period (1981–2020), near (2021–2060), far (2061–2100) ranged from –2.1 to –1.2, –0.8 –0.6, –1.2 –1.0, respectively, implying firstly rises then declines. This trend was primarily due increased contribution precipitation (Pre) (from 24.0% 31.5%) threshold future, coupled with decrease temperature (Tmean) 37.1% 30.4%). shift suggested Pre might alleviate adverse effect high future. average higher Southwest (–1.0 –0.6) Xinjiang (–1.1 –0.7) regions, where mild occurrences led 30% (70th percentile). Tmean driving factor dynamic changes thresholds. research findings provide scientific guidance agricultural water resource allocation management.
