Liaohe Plain

The Liaohe Plain is a paddy plain located in the southern tip of Northeast China, apart of a greater Northeast China Plain.[1] The Liaohe Plain is one of the most important industrial zones in Liaoning Province of China, and, with a cultivated land area of 144 million hectares, the Liaohe Plain rice field station's area of paddy-growing fields have increased by 977.1 square kilometers, located in the center, from 1988 to 2006.[2][3][4]

Liaohe is located in the golden belt of maize production, and serves as a strategic commodity grain base.[4] Liaohe's average annual July and January temperatures are 8.6 to −9.8 °C for January, and 24.4 for July, with Irrigation generally starting in early May.[1] Cultivation activity include oil and gas exploration, aquaculture, and salt production. Excessive land usage contributed to deformation of the plain, detrimental to the environment and economic construction projects.[3]

The adjacent Liaohe River Basin is of the most vulnerable areas to climate change in China, but likewise, is important in grain production in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China.[5]
