Impacts of climate change on suitability zonation for potato cultivation in Jilin Province, Northeast China

Abstract Global climate change is causing notable shifts in the environmental suitability of the main regions involved in potato cultivation and has, thus, changed the production potential of potatoes. These shifts can be mapped at fine scales to better understand climate change within areas of pota...
