Response of cotton phenology to climate change on the North China Plain from 1981 to 2012

Abstract To identify countermeasures for the impacts of climate change on crop production, exploring the changes in crop phenology and their relationship to climate change is required. This study was based on cotton phenology and climate data collected from 13 agro-meteorological experimental statio...
