The experiment observations at 120 agricultural meteorological stations spanning from 1981 to 2009 across China were used to look insights into the response and adaptation of wheat growth and productivity to climate change in different climate zones. Our studies better represented crop system dynamics by using detailed phenological records, consequently better accounted for adaptations such as shifts in sowing date and crop cultivars, when quantifying climate impacts on wheat yield. We found that climate change hadcaused notable impacts on wheat growth and productivity acrossthe major wheat production regions in China although agronomic management and cultivars turnover were continuing to play an important role in increasing productivity and adapting to climate
