“…Among maize growth stages, the yield loss under extremely compound CW events was the most severe during the flowering to maturity stage (figure 1(c)). Compound CW events reduce maize yield through processes associated with crop-physiological interactions: physical damage caused by hail (Rana et al 2022), pollination and fertilization disruption (Thakur et al 2010), delayed planting/harvest (Urban et al 2015), root growth suppression (Ren et al 2016), and pathogens attack (Juurakko et al 2021). The crop-physiological interactions of compound HD events causing the crop yield loss have been widely studied (Leng 2019).…”

Compound climate events are major threats to crop production under climate change. However, the heterogeneity in the impact of compound events on crop yield and its drivers remain poorly understood. Herein, we used empirical approach to evaluate the impact of compound hot–dry and cold–wet events on maize yield in China at the county level from 1990 to 2016, with a special focus on the spatial heterogeneity. Our findings indicate comparable impact of extremely compound cold–wet events (−12.8% ± 3.6%) on maize yield loss to extremely compound hot–dry events (−11.3% ± 2.1%). The spatial pattern of compound hot–dry and cold–wet events impacts on maize yield was dominantly associated with moisture regime, followed by management practices and soil properties. Specifically, drier counties and counties with less fraction of clay soil and organic carbon tend to experience greater yield loss due to compound hot–dry events, and wet condition, excessive fertilizer, clay soil and rich organic carbon aggravate the maize yield loss due to compound cold–wet events. Moreover, the land–atmosphere coupling exacerbated the heterogeneous yield impact through divergent heat transfer. In drier regions, the greater proportion of sensible heat creates a positive feedback between drier land and hotter atmosphere. In contrast, the greater proportion of latent heat in wetter regions results in a positive feedback between wetter land and colder atmosphere. Our results highlighted a critical element to explore in further studies focused on the land-atmosphere coupling in agricultural risk under climate change.

“…Micro-and macrophysics play important roles in hail formation and growth. Microphysically, hail formation and growth require small particles that act as nuclei, supercooled water droplets, and sufficient growth time [17,[20][21][22][23]. First, small nucleus-serving particles, <1 mm in diameter, aggregate to form an 'embryo' (i.e., an ice crystal) comprising graupel (consisting of snow particles <5 mm in diameter) or frozen droplets [21,24].…”

“…These small particles ascend and descend within clouds on air currents [21]. Supercooled water droplets, which are essential for hail growth [20][21][22][23], then attach to the embryo and freeze, either immediately (known as riming) or shortly thereafter (known as accretion) [21]. Hailstone growth requires graupels and supercooled droplets to exist simultaneously.…”

“…Hailstones grow most actively when the supercooled water droplets are at temperatures from −10 to −25 • C, although they continue to grow at supercooled water droplets temperatures as low as −38 • C, the homogeneous freezing temperature of water [25][26][27]. Hail growth requires sufficient time [17,[20][21][22][23] for the embryo to grow in the hail-growth zone where many supercooled water droplets are present [21,[26][27][28]. Hail requires at least 10 min to achieve significant growth [26].…”

“…In the case of cumulonimbus clouds (deep convective storms) that produce hail, there are single cell, multicell, MCCs (Mesoscale Convective Cloud systems), and supercells. Among these, hail is frequently generated in supercells [17,20,32]. And during the maturation process, which is a relatively early stage in the development of cumulonimbus clouds, hail within the cloud grows and falls to the ground [33].…”

Hail has long caused extensive damage and economic loss in places inhabited by humans. Climate change is expected to lead to different types of damage due to the geographic characteristics of each continent. Under changing environment, hail is becoming increasingly unstable and is causing damage that is difficult to repair, making it essential to study the occurrence of hail and hail-damage. Hail formation has been studied at the micro- and macrophysical scales as well as thermal and dynamical scales. Hail forms in various sizes, and the scale of damage varies with size. Hail precipitation occurs suddenly and is localized, making it is difficult to observe and predict. Nonetheless, techniques to measure and forecast hail precipitation are improving in accuracy. Hail-damage management and financial compensation systems are used to mitigate the severe economic losses caused by hail fallen in rural and urban areas. This review most comprehensively considers hail research, focusing on the mechanisms, observation and prediction methods, damage, social compensation systems for hail damage, and hail-disaster prevention, suggesting future study directions briefly.
