Abstract

Abstract:

The Horqin Sandy Land is located in the agro-pastoral ecotone of northern China and has the most favorable hydrothermal conditions among the ten major deserts in China. This region features a coexistence of farmland, grassland, and sandy land ecosystems. Despite its fragile ecological environment and severe desertification issues, it is also a key maize (Zea mays) production area in Nei Mongol. Since the 1980s, advancements in agricultural technology have significantly improved maize yield and quality in this region. As the world’s leading cereal crop, maize production and quality remain key areas of agricultural research. This dataset compiles maize plant traits and yield data collected during the harvest period from 2005 to 2015 at the long-term agricultural observation plot of Naiman Desertification Research Station of Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources, Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with data on fertilizer inputs and irrigation practices. The establishment and sharing of this dataset will contribute to a deeper understanding of the dynamic changes in maize growth under global climate change in Horqin Sandy Land, providing essential scientific evidence for optimizing agricultural management strategies and improving water resource utilization in semi-arid sandy regions.
