Changes in regional grain yield responses to chemical fertilizer use in China over the last 20 years

Abstract: A major challenge facing China is to meet the increasing food demand of its growing population in the face of decreasing arable land area, while sustaining or improving soil productivity and avoiding adverse environmental impacts from intensive agriculture. This study uses data from China...
