Abstract: Maize production in China is facing a multitude of challenges such as climate change, increasing demand, and limited cropland availability. Soil properties, beyond supporting crop growth and development, can play a critical role in buffering the impacts of climate crisis on crop yields. However, little information is known about such buffering capacities and their spatial distributions of soil properties in buffering the impacts of climate perturbations on maize yields in China's maize belt (CMB).
