Abstract:

By exploring the change of precipitation and its satisfaction degree and drought risk degree in the growing season of crops in southern Hebei Province, the study aims to provide reference for agricultural industrial structural adjustment, avoidance of drought risk, and agricultural production management. Based on the precipitation and temperature data of representative meteorological monitoring stations in Handan, Xingtai and Hengshui from 1971 to 2020, the climate diagnostic analysis method was adopted to study the satisfaction degree of precipitation to crop growing season, the characteristics of drought change and the degree of drought risk by using the integral moisture index and dry and wet index. The results showed that precipitation in the growing season of crops in the southern part of Hebei Province showed an increasing trend from 1971 to 2020, with a linear increase of 38.9 mm. Precipitation satisfaction and dry and wet index in crop growing season showed increasing trends, with the linear increase of 12.5% and 0.18, respectively. The drought risk of crop growing season showed a significantly decreasing trend, and abruptly increased in 2002/2003. After the mutation, the maximum drought risk decreased by 8.9 percentage points, and the annual average drought risk decreased by 12.6 percentage points. The drought occurred mainly in April to May (seeding stage to seedling stage), and the drought degree decreased by about 1 grade. The drought frequency was high in southern Hebei Province from 1971 to 2020, and the increase of precipitation in April and May played a certain role in alleviating the drought risk in spring, but there was still the probability of a major drought every 2 to 3 years. Therefore, it is imperative to adjust the agricultural structure.
