Harnessing phosphorus fertilizer to counteract warming-driven decline in maize water productivity under climate change
Wei Chen, Hui Ju, Xin-Zhong Liang, William D. Batchelor, Qingquan Chu
Agricultural Water Management, 2026
More judicious application of phosphorus (P) fertilizer can moderate the impacts of global warming on crop water productivity (WP) in (semi-)arid regions, but its long-term feedback on future climate and maize ecoregions remains unclear. This study quantified future changes in maize WP under multiple climate scenarios in the Yellow River Basin (YRB) of China and evaluated the potential of optimized P fertilization to mitigate WP decline. Based on the process-maize-model and combined with 5 global climate models (GCMs) × 3 shared socioeconomic pathway scenarios (SSPs; SSP126, SSP370, and SSP585), our results showed that WP of maize will decrease by an average of 5% in future relative to the baseline period in the whole YRB, with a greater decline under the SSP585 scenario. WP in different ecoregions also declined, particularly in the Huang-Huai region (II), which experienced significant decreases ( p < 0.05) under SSP585 in the 2021–2040 (2030s), 2041–2070 (2050s), and 2071–2100 (2080s). Rising temperatures were the primary driver, with a threshold effect observed: WP turned point at above 20℃ in eastern YRB (regions I and II), while in the rest of other ecoregions (III-V), it peaked around 12℃ then declining. After crossing temperature thresholds under an ensemble of projected climate scenarios, optimizing P fertilization increased maize WP by an average of 10.5% compared with the no-fertilization treatment. A combined nitrogen (N) and P application (180 kg ha −1 and 90 kg ha −1 respectively) maximized WP across all SSPs. These findings provide critical temperature thresholds and effective fertilization strategies for sustaining future maize production and water consumption in the YRB and similar regions.
Rising vapor pressure deficit threatens maize water productivity in the Yellow River Basin under climate warming
Wei Chen, Hui Ju, Xin-Zhong Liang, William D. Batchelor, Xintong Wang
Agricultural Water Management, 2026
Maize production is highly vulnerable to rising vapor pressure deficit (VPD), yet its agricultural-scale impacts remain insufficiently characterized due to the lack of integrated assessments linking spatiotemporal VPD dynamics with crop-level water productivity (WP), particularly the relative contributions of yield and evapotranspiration (ET) under varying atmospheric drought conditions. Using the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) data, we analyzed the spatiotemporal evolution of VPD across five maize ecoregions in the Yellow River Basin (YRB) under three Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) scenarios (baseline: 1985–2014; future: 2021–2100) and quantified its effects on maize WP. Mean VPD across the YRB maize ecoregions is projected to increase by 21% from 2021 to 2100 (vs. 1985–2014), peaking in the 2080 s under SSP585. Eastern ecoregions (II > I) experience greater VPD escalation than western counterparts (V > III > IV), with post-2030s VPD growth accelerating to 0.036 kPa/yr under SSP585, while SSP126 stabilizes. Projected VPD increases may hinder WP sustainability in regions II-V across all climate scenarios. ET primarily governs WP under mild atmospheric drought (VPD ≤ 4 kPa), whereas yield constraints dominate under severe drought. Thus, a VPD-dependent shift in the WP demands a process-based optimization of irrigation and yield management under varying atmospheric drought conditions and offers actionable insights for climate-resilient agricultural strategies in (semi-)arid maize-growing regions. • Vapor pressure deficit is projected to increase by 21% across maize regions in the Yellow River Basin. • Eastern regions show faster increases in atmospheric dryness than western regions under future scenarios. • High vapor pressure deficit increases the frequency of low water productivity years. • Water productivity shifts from evapotranspiration control to yield limitation beyond 4 kPa. • Yield-limited water productivity shows higher sensitivity to vapor pressure deficit.
Capturing Spatiotemporal and Subgrid Variability in Global Land Surface Albedo Parameterization
Akarsh Ralhan, Xin‐Zhong Liang
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2026
Accurate surface albedo parameterization is critical for modeling Earth's energy balance. Yet, many schemes rely on static look‐up tables or semi‐empirical formulations that fail to capture spatiotemporal variations and complex radiative interactions. This study develops a physics‐informed machine‐learning parameterization using 19 years (2003–2021) of MODIS Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function data to predict direct and diffuse albedo in the visible and near‐infrared bands across major land‐cover categories. The framework leverages 10 biogeophysical predictors, including solar geometry, vegetation state, soil moisture, soil texture (STX), topography, and background climate. It comprises a dynamic component that resolves physical spatiotemporal patterns and a static correction, the Surface Albedo Localization Factor, which accounts for subgrid heterogeneity, together explaining most of the observed variability. The parameterization shows strong agreement with MODIS albedo (overall R 2 = 0.88, mean absolute percentage error [MAPE] = 7.5%), with performance ranging from R 2 = 0.85 in direct visible to R 2 = 0.90 in diffuse near‐infrared, and generally higher accuracy in the near‐infrared parts. It performs well across diverse LCCs, including grasslands, shrublands, croplands, and challenging barren regions where empirical methods underperform. SALF improves accuracy across all albedo parts (average R 2 increase of 0.16 and MAPE reduction of 5.1%). Feature‐importance analysis indicates that solar zenith angle and leaf area index are the dominant drivers of dynamic variability, whereas STX and topography influence static variability. Counterfactual experiments confirm biophysically consistent albedo responses, enhancing interpretability and model trust. This framework offers a physically grounded alternative to empirical schemes and has strong potential for integration into Earth system models to improve the representation of surface energy exchange.

Impacts of land surface processes on summer extreme precipitation in Eastern China: Insights from CWRF simulations
Chenyi Zhang, Qingquan Li, Xin-Zhong Liang, Lili Dong, Bing Xie, Weiping Li, Chao Sun
Atmospheric Research, 2025
Understanding the impacts of land surface processes on summer extreme precipitation is crucial for accurate climate predictions. This study investigated these impacts across three subregions of eastern China (North China, Central China, and South China) using the regional Climate–Weather Research and Forecasting model with two land surface parameterization schemes: the Conjunctive Surface–Subsurface Process (CSSP) scheme and the NOAH Land Surface Model (NOAH). When compared with observational and reanalysis data, both schemes were found to successfully reproduce the spatial distribution of extreme precipitation, with the CSSP scheme showing distinct advantages in simulating evapotranspiration. The influence of land surface processes on summer extreme precipitation varies among the three subregions, largely depending on soil moisture conditions. In North China, a transitional zone between arid and humid regions, soil moisture primarily influences extreme precipitation, with biases arising from difference between the lifting condensation level and the planetary boundary layer height. In Central China, where soil moisture is moderate, soil moisture and net radiation jointly influence extreme precipitation, with biases linked to the planetary boundary layer height. In South China, where soil moisture is mostly saturated during summer, net radiation dominates the variability of land surface variables, with latent heat bias leading to extreme precipitation bias. Overall, soil moisture affects extreme precipitation by altering the energy and stability of the planetary boundary layer and the lifting condensation level. These findings could inform the assessment and future improvement of models, and support the monitoring and predicting of extreme precipitation events. • Conjunctive Surface–Subsurface Process scheme can simulate realistically evapotranspiration and land–atmosphere interactions. • Relative contributions of individual land surface variables to summer extreme precipitation differ across three subregions in eastern China. • Soil moisture affects summer extreme precipitation by altering the state of the planetary boundary layer and the lifting condensation level.
