High-Resolution Maps Reveal Hidden Losses in China’s Winter Wheat Harvest
Researchers from the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed the first-ever 10-meter resolution maps of harvested winter wheat areas across China’s top-producing regions from 2018 to 2022. The study published in the Scientific Dataon September 27, used satellite remote sensing and advanced machine learning algorithms to highlight a significant discrepancy between planted and harvested areas. The research revealed that about 13% of planted winter wheat is lost before harvest due to meteorological factors such as dry-hot winds and waterlogging.
