Abstract:
To increase utilization of climate resources of tea plants and ecological resources economic value of tea industry in Guizhou Province and to adapt to climate change, it is of great significance to analyze change characteristics of tea plants climate resources and climate potential productivity in Guizhou Province in context of climate change.Based on conventional meteorological elements from 1961 to 2020 from 83 national meteorological stations and tea economic data from 1978 to 2020 in Guizhou Province, climate resources and climate potential productivity of tea plants were estimated, and contribution rate and utilization rate of climate resources were analyzed by using methods of step-by-step correction, climatological statistics, and spatial analysis.Results showed that multi-year average values of photosynthetic potential productivity, light-temperature potential productivity, and climate potential productivity during tea plants growing season were 52.3、43.7 and 39.1 t/hm
2, respectively.The above indexes showed a decreasing trend with time, and climate tendency rates were −0.79、−0.37 and −0.31 t/(hm
2·10a), respectively.In the spatial distribution, photosynthetic potential productivity decreased from southwest to northeast, while light-temperature potential productivity and climate potential productivity increased from north to south.Average loss rate of climate potential productivity due to temperature and precipitation limitation was 16.2% and 10.2%, contribution rate of solar radiation, heat, and precipitation to climate potential productivity was 45.9%, 32.5%, and 21.6%.From 1978 to 2020, utilization rate of climate resources for tea plants in Guizhou Province showed an increasing trend, with a multi-year average utilization rate of 0.91%.Climate potential productivity during growth season of tea plants was decreasing, and utilization rate of climate resources was low.Analyzing change characteristics of climate potential productivity during growth season of tea plants is beneficial to improve utilization rate of climate resources and adapt to climate change.
