| 英文摘要 | Farmers' perceptions of the local climate reflect their awareness of climate change and may affect their adaptation behaviors. However, current literature suffers a knowledge gap on farmers' perceptions of climate change. This study examines farmers' perceptions of annual mean temperature, the consistency of these perceptions with meteorological record data, and what influences this relationship. The study found that > 70% of farmers in China perceived an increasing trend of annual mean temperature over the past 10 yr, while only 8% of farmers perceived a decreasing trend. Moreover, only 18% of farmers perceived a temperature change that was consistent with the meteorological record data. Econometric analysis shows that social networks can improve a farmer's ability to correctly perceive temperature changes. Additionally, those with a larger farm size are more likely to be able to consistently perceive temperature. This study concludes with several policy and research implications. |
