Abstract

Guangdong Province, due to its own climatic conditions and geographic location, has resulted in a high incidence of extreme weather in the region.In recent years, with global climate change, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as typhoons and heavy rains, droughts, heat waves and cold snaps have increased significantly and have had negative impacts on the natural environment and soil health in Guangdong Province, such as destruction of soil structure, soil salinization, soil erosion, loss of soil nutrients, and reduction of biodiversity.In this paper, we conducted a systematic study on the impacts of extreme weather on soil health in Guangdong, and proposed measures to strengthen agricultural management, soil improvement, soil and water conservation, and monitoring and early warning systems.The results of the study show that integrated and systematic management measures can effectively mitigate the damage to soil caused by extreme weather and can promote sustainable agricultural development in Guangdong Province.This study provides theoretical support and practical reference for soil conservation and adaptation to future climate change in Guangdong.
