Abstract: The study of the crop production potential can provide the basis for increasing crop yields,evaluating food production capacity and population carrying capacity of the region, as well as rational agricultural production planning. Climate change (including temperature, precipitation, and sunshine hours) and extreme weather (such as drought, floods and storms etc.) has exerted a profound impact on agriculture. This article summarized the research methods of climate change on crop production potential domestic and foreign, and the effects of climate change on China’s major grain crop (wheat, rice and maize) potential production, and analyzed the existing problems and prospect in the present studies, aiming at providing a theoretical basis to climate change adaptation and crop production potential boost.
