Abstract:
      With global climate change and global warming, the frequency and intensity of drought event and loss is increased. This paper simulated the growth process of wheat in China from 1966 to 2005 using EPIC (Environmental Policy Integrated Clim ate) crop model, developed the drought hazard intensity index based on crop water stress index and quantitatively analyzed the tempo-spatial distribution regularity of wheat drought hazard intensity and drought hazard risk. The results is as follows: Fistly, drought hazard intensity of wheat caused by drought was decreased from the arid region of northwest China to the humid region of southeast China, and drought hazard intensity of spring wheat area was higher than winter wheat area; Secondly, the annual variation and intensity of wheat drought hazard intensity had an abnormal high-value zone, and its space range agreed with the Farming-Pastoral Zone and ecological vulnerable zone of China, which is the high-value zone of the wheat drought hazard risk; Finally, in 1966 to 2005, drought hazard intensity of spring wheat area was decreased, while drought intensity of the winter wheat area was increased, and the North winter wheat area and the winter wheat area of Huang-River and Huai-River demonstrated a distinguished uptrend in all wheat distribution area.
