Description

Jilin province is one of the major maize-growing regions of China and is also one of the major contributors to the Maize Belt of the world’s Temperate Zone. Agro-meteorological hazards such as drought, waterlogging and cool summer occur with very high frequency and affect grain production and social-economic development in Jilin province. Moreover, both the frequency of these hazards and losses from them are considered to be increasing with global warming. This study presents a methodology for risk analysis and assessment of meteorological hazards to agricultural production in Jilin province, China, based on Geographical Information System (GIS) from the viewpoints of climatology, geography, disaster science, disaster risk analysis, environmental science, and so on. This study can be expected to provide the basis for developing strategies to mitigate agro-meteorological hazards and reducing the losses from them, and adjust the medium and long-term distribution of agricultural activities so as to adapt to environmental changes and to ensure agricultural sustainable development.
