Current and projected impacts of extreme climate events on winter wheat yield in Northern China

Key Points

• Wheat yield is projected to decrease significantly due to extreme weather events in Northern China, influencing food security.
• Yield reductions could reach up to 20% during severe climate incidents, severely affecting local agriculture.
• Assessment using historical weather data and crop performance indicates a clear link between climate variability and agricultural productivity.
• This highlights the need for effective climate adaptation measures to safeguard wheat production under changing conditions.
