Abstract

Extreme high temperature (EHT) brings great losses for agriculture under global warming. Based on “accumulate temperature and yield” model, threshold of EHT for corn were determined, and then to study the spatial and temporal characters of EHT and its effects on corn. The results shown that (1) the threshold of EHT in Henan were 37.19℃,35.52℃ and 36.74℃ for the growth periods of before summer corn jointing, after jointing and the whole growing season at Henan. (2) The frequency and intensity of EHT increased with time during 1981-2012, this trend was more obvious at before jointing stage. (3) EHT happened during after jointing stage would bring much more serious influence on corn yields.
