Winter Wheat Yield Gaps and Patterns in China

Core Ideas Based on yield gap analysis, wheat yield can be improved significantly in China. Both actual and potential wheat yields showed considerable spatial variability. Winter wheat yields increased in 53% of the counties in China. Nearly half of the counties experienced impaired wheat yields. Declining solar radiation and increasing temperature reduce wheat yield. Wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) yield stagnation has been reported in some...
