Variation of winter wheat phenology dataset in Huang Huai Hai Plain of China from 1981 to 2021
Abstract This study presents a comprehensive analysis of winter wheat phenological variations in China’s Huang-Huai-Hai Plain (HHHP) from 1981 to 2021, leveraging data from 62 national agrometeorological observation stations. As the world’s largest winter wheat production region, the HHHP contribute...

| description | Abstract This study presents a comprehensive analysis of winter wheat phenological variations in China’s Huang-Huai-Hai Plain (HHHP) from 1981 to 2021, leveraging data from 62 national agrometeorological observation stations. As the world’s largest winter wheat production region, the HHHP contributes over 60% of China’s total output, playing a pivotal role in national food security. Using kernel density estimation (KDE) and univariate linear regression, the dataset characterizes interannual trends in key phenological stages—sowing, emergence, tillering, jointing, booting, heading, flowering, milking, and maturity—along with growth period durations. Results reveal significant shifts in phenological timings and growth stages under climate change, such as advanced heading stages and altered phase lengths, which correlate with temperature increases and extreme weather events. The dataset, comprising 1,120 figures generated via Origin Lab, is publicly available on ScienceDB, providing critical insights for climate adaptation strategies, cultivation optimization, and yield stability. Technical validation confirms the reliability of the data, sourced from standardized, long-term manual observations by trained professionals under China Meteorological Administration protocols. This work offers a foundational resource for understanding climate-crop interactions and guiding sustainable agricultural practices in a warming world. |
