Abstract: Northern China still has great potential to increase wheat productivity. Studies have shown that the improper wheat management of water and fertilizer aggravates the risk of yield instability and environmental pollution in this region. Optimizing water and N management can increase wheat yield, improve nitrogen (N) use efficiency (NUE) and water-use-efficiency (WUE), and reduce nutrient loss and environmental pollution. Therefore, the potential benefits of water and N management measures for wheat productivity in Northern China require further quantification.
