- Abstract:
-
Global climate change on the national scale affected agricultural and environmental decision-making significantly. It’s significant to study the agricultural environment under global climate change. Long-term monthly relative humidity data and trend analysis method were used to study the relative humidity variation in China over the past fifty years. The results showed that the humidity generally increased west to 95°E while decreased east to 95°E, indicating a warming-wet trend in the western area and a warming-dry trend in the eastern area. The spatial difference of humidity contribution mainly resulted from precipitation for there was no much difference in temperature change. The increase of humidity in northwest China is good for agriculture.
