Accurate and timely assessment of crop damage is crucial for understanding economic implications, devising effective agricultural strategies, and enhancing resilience amid mounting climate uncertainties. This study investigates the utility of Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Sentinel-2 MultiSpectral Instrument (MSI) data in tracking maize damage severity following typhoon events. By employing continuous field sampling techniques and conducting visual interpretation of high-resolution remote sensing imagery, sample sets representing a spectrum of maize damage severity were systematically established. The application of time series analysis on Sentinel data enables a comprehensive exploration of spectral and polarization responses, providing insights into the correlation with maize damage severity. Segmentation of the maize damage timeline into pre-disaster, disaster, and recovery periods, coupled with optimization of relevant feature parameters, was undertaken to bolster monitoring precision. Leveraging the Google Earth Engine (GEE) cloud platform, a Random Forest algorithm was used to develop a model for monitoring maize damage severity across different post-typhoon periods, yielding maps delineating the distribution and magnitude of maize damage in Northeast China. Results indicate that integrating spectral indices from the pre-disaster phase with backscatter variations of polarization bands during various post-typhoon periods enhances maize damage assessment. Maize damage severity is notably elevated during the disaster period, achieving an overall accuracy of 87.22 %. While mitigated during the recovery phase, localized exacerbation occurs in severely affected regions, yielding an overall accuracy of 88.54 %. Analysis incorporating terrain and meteorological data reveals that post-typhoon maize disasters predominantly occur in low-lying and flat areas, with meteorological factors, particularly maximum wind speed and daily cumulative precipitation, exerting significant influence on damage severity.

Accurate, high-resolution SM data are essential for effective flood forecasting, water resource management, and understanding the soil freeze-thaw processes in cold regions. This study aims to generate 1 km resolution liquid surface SM (SSM) data with a twice-daily update frequency by downscaling SMAP Level-4 SSM data using random forest (RF) and multiple linear regression (MLR) in the source region of the Yellow River (SRYR), by considering the differences in SM changes between freezing and thawing periods. To obtain the SSM data, 16 downscaling schemes of both RF and MLR were designed for each of the three scenarios. In each downscaling process, both land surface temperature (LST) and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) were utilized in MLR and RF models, alongside various combinations of additional variables such as albedo, elevation, leaf area index (LAI), soil texture. Results showed that during the freezing period, RF produced superior SSM estimates when supplemented with NDVI, LST, albedo, elevation, LAI, and soil texture. MLR was more effective during the thawing period when paired with NDVI, LST, elevation, LAI, and soil texture. During the freezing period, the downscaled SMAP SSM exhibited average <em>R</em>, RMSE, ubRMSE of 0.76, 0.029 m<sup>3</sup>·m<sup>-3</sup>, and 0.023 m<sup>3</sup>·m<sup>-3</sup>, respectively, when compared with in-situ measurements.

This alteration has serious consequences for food security and economic stability at global, regional, and local scales, especially in smallholder and rainfed agricultural systems like in Ethiopia. A comprehensive understanding of the current state of croplands and future changes under warming temperatures and increasing rainfall uncertainty is critical for national climate adaptation planning. Here, we evaluated cropland suitability (CLS) for four major cereal crops (teff, maize, sorghum, and wheat), under both current and future climates across the rainfed agriculture (RFA) landscapes of Ethiopia. We utilized a novel suitability modelling approach that establishes functional relationships between crop yield, and climatic factors (rainfall, temperature, and solar radiation) and soil factors (texture, pH, and organic carbon). Furthermore, we analyzed the relative influences of the growing season rainfall and temperature on the changes in CLS. The results show that 54 % of the RFA area has a suitability index of 0.6 or higher (moderately to highly suitable) for teff and that 51 %, 63 %, and 29 % of the grid cells are suitable for maize, sorghum, and wheat crops, respectively. The suitable agroecologies of the four crops will likely undergo altitudinal shifts and areal contraction, with magnitudes of the changes depending on the emission scenarios. Under the SSP2–4.5, the suitable areas are projected to decrease by 25 % for teff, 7 % for maize, 10 % for sorghum, and 16 % for wheat in the 2080s. In semi-arid and hyper-humid climates, CLS is sensitive to changes in the growing season rainfall, whereas in low and high elevation regions, it is temperature-sensitive.

The comprehensive optimum N application rate (CONR) considering the trade-off between economy and environment was calculated for each rice production county. The results showed that the high CONR values were mainly concentrated in middle and south China, like Yunnan-guizhou plateau, and Guangxi and Guangdong Provinces, where the rice yield potential is high.
