Abstract:

It is important for agricultural production to study the spatial and temporal distribution of winter wheat drought in Hebei Province.Based on the meteorological observation data of 119 national meteorological stations in Hebei Province during the growing period of winter wheat from 1991 to 2021,based on the national standard of"Meteorological Drought Grade"(GB/T 20481-2017),we calculated the meteorological drought composite index(MCI)and analyzed the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of winter wheat drought in Hebei Province in recent 30 years.The results showed that:the frequency of drought decreased gradually with the drought grade from light drought to extreme drought.The average frequency of light drought occurrence in different growth stages of winter wheat in Hebei Province ranges from 22.1% to 22.5%.The average frequency of medium drought occurrence ranges from 11.7% to 14.5%.The average frequency of heavy drought occurrence ranges from 3.6% to 5.5%.The average frequency of extreme drought occurrence ranges from 0.4% to 1.0%.During the whole growth period,the areas with relatively high frequency of occurrence of medium drought and above were mainly distributed in most parts of Hengshui,west and south of Cangzhou,east of Xingtai,and east of Handan,and the frequency of occurrence was more than 20.25%.From 1991 to 2021,the drought intensity and range of winter wheat in Hebei Province showed a significant decreasing trend in the middle and later stages of growth.
