Abstract
Nitrogen fertilizer is one of the essential nutrients for wheat growth and development, and it plays an important role in increasing and stabilizing wheat yield. Future climate change will affect wheat growth, development, and yield, since climate change will also alter nitrogen cycles in farmland. Therefore, further research is needed to understand the response of wheat yield and nitrogen losses to climate change during cultivation. In this study, we investigate the wheat-producing region in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China, one of the leading wheat-producing areas, by employing a random forest model using wheat yield records from agricultural meteorological observation stations and spatial data on wheat yield, nitrogen application rate, and nitrogen losses. The model predicts winter wheat yield and nitrogen losses in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River based on CMIP6 meteorological data and related environmental variables, under SSP126 and SSP585 emission scenarios. The results show that future climate change (temperature and precipitation changes) will decrease winter wheat yield by 2~4% and reduce total nitrogen losses by 0~5%, but in other areas, the total nitrogen losses will increase by 0~5% and the N leaching losses per unit of yield will increase by 0~10%. The results of this study can provide a theoretical basis and reference for optimizing nitrogen application rates, increasing yield, and reducing nitrogen losses in wheat cultivation under climate change conditions.
