Cover Story: Meeting the demand of food supply and environment protection in rocky desertified regions (e.g., Southeast China) is of great significance for enhancing human wellbeing. Herein, we calculated the yield gap for 6 main crop species in Guizhou Province and simulated crop yield using ensembled artificial neural networks. We also tested the influence of adjusting the quantity of local fertilization and irrigation on crop production in Guizhou Province. Results showed that the total yield of the selected crops had, on average, reached over 72.5% of the theoretical maximum yield. For most crop species, the bonus of fertilization intensification has reached the condition of “stagnation”. By contrast, increasing irrigation tended to be more consistently effective at increasing crop yield. View this paper
