4. Discussion
- It is worth noting that, in this study, we disregarded the effect of CO2 levels on maize yields because the year-to-year differences in CO2 concentration are too small to generate measurable yield changes [23].
- The effects of temperature, precipitation, and drought disaster on maize yield have been the main focuses of studies. The growth and the development of maize are very sensitive to temperature and precipitation, and the temperature requirements are different in different growth stages. Excessive or insufficient precipitation also affects the final yield of maize to different degrees. The temperature in the growing season of the Songliao Plain maize belt is negatively correlated with the maize yield. Table 2 shows that the correlation between the climate yield and the growing season temperature of the Songliao Plain maize belt in July and August is higher than that in May and June. This agrees with the findings of Bhatt et al. [41]. Waha et al. [42] found that a decrease in rainfall in the rainy season is very important for maize yield, even exceeding the effect of temperature on maize yield. This study found that the precipitation in the growing season of the maize belt in Songliao Plain has a positive effect on the maize yield, but Hawkins et al.’s [43] study found that the sensitivity of French maize yield to precipitation decreased. Labudova et al. [44] studied the standardized yields of ten crops and their correlations with SPEI and SPI on a one-month, two-month and three-month scale; the results revealed that the highest correlation can be seen between maize yield and three-month scale SPEI in August. This finding is consistent with the results of this study. With the continuous development of the economy and technology, the influence of human social activities is increasing. In addition to temperature, precipitation, and dry and wet conditions, there are also different drip irrigation modes [45], mulching conditions [46], planting densities [47], balanced fertilizers such as nitrogen and phosphorus [48], adaptabilities of maize itself to the environment, and crop management methods, which all affect the yield of maize. Therefore, a multi-factor evaluation model that can be used to evaluate climate variables and their impact on yield remains to be constructed.
- There are many studies on climate change trend prediction and threshold under the background of global warming scenarios of 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C, but those on its impact on the yield and the physiological processes of major grain crops are still relatively few. In particular, the risks faced by different grain producing areas in China under the background of temperature rises of 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C are still in a state of continuous research. As the global academic community has not reached a consensus on how to define the global warming of 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C, the current climate prediction and impact research on the global warming of 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C mostly adopts the multi-mode ensemble average method [49,50,51] to obtain the warming response under the instantaneous change condition rather than the temperature rise under the stable state expected over the long term. Researchers still need to design a model prediction test specifically for the global warming scenarios of 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C to form a special scenario and provide support for impact prediction in different fields.
- The climate simulation model has uncertainty in setting parameters and estimating greenhouse gas emission physical processes. There are also uncertainties in the social development model and government intervention in greenhouse gas emissions. The combination of these uncertainties magnify the uncertainties that climate change may bring. In this study, five climate models were selected from many CMIP5 models according to the ISI-MIP recommendation. Global warming reached 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C during 1986–2005, which was used as the reference period. Compared with other climate models, the selected model can more effectively support impact assessment in different fields and generate more credible results. Considering the four RCP scenarios and the conditions of stable temperature rises of 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C at the end of the 21st century, the time periods and THE data of temperature rises of 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C under different model scenarios were selected to minimize the uncertainty of the climate data. This study found that the risk of maize yield reduction in the Songliao Plain maize belt under the background of global warming of 2.0 °C was significantly higher than that under the 1.5 °C scenario. Summing up the previous global warming research results, the greater the global warming amplitude is, the greater the comprehensive harmful impact of global warming on maize production will be, which may be due to the large evapotranspiration caused by the increase in the temperature rise amplitude. Although the total precipitation is increasing, the evapotranspiration caused by the warming is more severe. In other words, the excessive warming amplitude offsets the positive impact of the precipitation; therefore, frequent droughts during the maize growing season may affect the maize yield, which may also be the possibility of extreme weather events such as high temperature disasters and heavy rainfall with the 1.5 °C global warming and the 2.0 °C global warming scenarios becoming more and more obvious, leading to an increased risk of maize yield reduction.
5. Conclusions
- The temperature in the growing season of the maize belt in the Songliao Plain had an increasing trend and the precipitation had a decreasing trend from 1965 to 2017. Geographically, Harbin, Liaoyang, and Anshan had the highest temperature rise, while the southeast of the Songliao Plain maize belt had the largest precipitation reduction. SPEI-1 and SPEI-3 in the maize belt of the Songliao Plain were very sensitive to temperature and precipitation and were calculated by using the September SPEI-6. The frequencies of light drought, moderate drought, severe drought, and extreme drought were 16.0%, 10.4%, 5.8%, and 2.0%, respectively.
- From 1998 to 2017, 65% of the maize belt in the Songliao Plain showed a trend of yield reduction, with the lowest yield occurring in 2000. The unit yield in the northeast was higher than that in the southwest Songliao Plain maize belt in spatial distribution. From 1998 to 2017, the climate yield was negatively correlated with the temperature in the growing season and positively correlated with the precipitation; furthermore, it was positively correlated with the drought index SPEI-3, and the correlation with SPEI-3 was higher.
- Under the 1.5 °C and the 2.0 °C global warming scenarios, the temperature and the precipitation in the growing season of the maize belt in the Songliao Plain exhibited upward trends relative to the reference period (1986–2005). In the spatial distribution, the temperature increased from south to north, while the precipitation decreased from south to north. These results reveal that, as a whole, drought in the Songliao Plain Maize Belt will be more serious in the future.
- Under the 1.5 °C and the 2.0 °C global warming scenarios, the climate yield changes in the Songliao Plain maize belt predicted by meteorological factor regression were −7.7% and −15.9%, respectively. The climate yield changes obtained by drought index regression were −12.2% and −21.8%, respectively. The more serious the drought is, the more negative its effects on maize yield are.
