“…It lies in the warm temperature semihumid monsoon region, with an average temperature of 11°C–16°C and an average annual rainfall of approximately 910 mm (Cao and Qi 2014). Rainfall mainly occurs in the summer from June to September, with large annual and seasonal variability (Zhao et al 2016). The unique climate and surface conditions in this region have contributed to the frequent flooding, water logging, drought, and storm surge disasters, especially in the middle and lower reaches of the Huaihe River and northern part of the Huaihe River Basin (Zhang et al 2015).…”

“…The Huaihe River Basin is an important grain production area in China and is located in the transition zone between the East Asian monsoon region and semihumid areas (Zhao et al 2016). Recent studies show that climate change has led to extreme temperatures, reduced annual precipitation, and increased potential evapotranspiration in the Huaihe River Basin (Yang et al 2012; Zhang and Cong 2014; Cao et al 2015; Zhao et al 2016; Zhao et al 2017). Thus, changes in meteorological factors have influences on the local hydrological cycle, eventually altering the spatial and temporal patterns of soil moisture in affected regions.…”

“…As one of the serious natural disasters, drought had captured worldwide attention in recent decades because it had affected agriculture, industry, and human livelihoods (IPCC ; Zhao et al. ). In the past century, many remarkable changes have been observed in global climate, including intensified water cycle and more frequent, pronounced, and severe drought at the global scale (Kunkel ; Beniston and Stephenson ; Christensen and Christensen ; Roy and Balling ; Huang et al.…”

“…Generally, droughts are often divided into four types: meteorological, agricultural, hydrological, and socioeconomic droughts (Zhao et al. ). Droughts have severe impacts on agricultural production, resulting in a significant yield reduction in crops, which poses a threat to national food security.…”

This study investigates agricultural adaptation to drought for different cropping systems in southern China. The study area was divided into three regions: South China (SC), South of the Yangtze River (SYR), and Southwest China (SWC). An index of agricultural adaptation to drought (D) was established. Our findings indicated that the average total crop water demand varied greatly among the regions from 1961 to 2010 in southern China. The maximum value was found in the SC region, followed by the SYR and SWC regions. The effects of droughts on different crops were noticeable. Frequent droughts were recorded in late rice than in early rice in the SC and SYR regions. Droughts in the SWC region mainly affected winter wheat. Moreover, the effects of droughts on crops varied during different growth stages. More frequent and serious droughts occurred during the crop critical flowering stage. Particularly, the frequency of moderate and severe droughts for late rice in the SYR region was 62% during the critical flowering stage. For the SC and SYR regions, the D values of early rice (0.29 and 0.29) were lower than that of late rice (0.31 and 0.33), respectively. For the SWC region, the D values of winter wheat and rice were both low, with averages of 0.16 and 0.29, respectively. Our study provides interesting insights for improving the drought defense abilities for different cropping systems by changing crop planting proportion on a regional scale in China.

“…Due to population growth and expansion of agricultural, energy, and industrial sectors, the demand for water resources has increased many fold and water scarcity has been occurring almost every year in many parts of the world (e.g., Mishra & Singh, ). Thus, droughts have been arousing increasing concerns and their monitoring and warning have been attracting a lot of attention in recent years (e.g., Bazrafshan, Nadi, & Ghorbani, ; Hao et al, ; Jiao et al, ; Zhao et al, ).…”

Multisource Data‐Based Integrated Agricultural Drought Monitoring in the Huai River Basin, China

et al. 2017

Drought monitoring is critical for early warning of drought hazard. This study attempted to develop an integrated remote sensing drought monitoring index (IRSDI), based on meteorological data for 2003–2013 from 40 meteorological stations and soil moisture data from 16 observatory stations, as well as Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer data using a linear trend detection method, and standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index. The objective was to investigate drought conditions across the Huai River basin in both space and time. Results indicate that (1) the proposed IRSDI monitors and describes drought conditions across the Huai River basin reasonably well in both space and time; (2) frequency of drought and severe drought are observed during April–May and July–September. The northeastern and eastern parts of Huai River basin are dominated by frequent droughts and intensified drought events. These regions are dominated by dry croplands, grasslands, and highly dense population and are hence more sensitive to drought hazards; (3) intensified droughts are detected during almost all months except January, August, October, and December. Besides, significant intensification of droughts is discerned mainly in eastern and western Huai River basin. The duration and regions dominated by intensified drought events would be a challenge for water resources management in view of agricultural and other activities in these regions in a changing climate.
