Abstract:
      Based on the calibrated CERES-Wheat model and the anomaly method, the inter-annual variability of biomass of winter wheat in the Guanzhong Plain in Shaanxi Province was simulated. The results showed that when the biomass anomaly was positive, there was no drought or no remarkable drought; when the biomass anomaly was negative, the drought occurred. Accordingly, the d rought monitoring model was established based on the biomass anomaly. A linear correlation analysis was applied to study the correlation between the precipitati on anomaly and the biomass anomaly, which showed that the biomass anomaly was hi ghly correlated with the cumulative precipitation anomaly in the last 20~50 day s. This indicated that the model was feasible to be used for the near real-time drought monitoring. Furthermore, the regional drought distribution was analyzed by combining the model with the terrestrial gross primary productivity (GPP) of every 8 days, which was derived from the MOD17A2 data of NASA EOS/MODIS (Terra) from 2000 to 2009. The results showed that the Guanzhong Plain was suffered fro m drought in the last ten days of April in 2000, 2003 and 2007, while there was no drought in the same period of other study years.
