Due to the cold weather, no crops were growing in the northeast of China during this monitoring season (October 2021 to January 2022). CropWatch Agroclimatic Indicators (CWAIs) showed that the overall precipitation increased by 54%, which may provide favorable soil moisture in the coming sowing season. It was significantly above average in early October, and early November. The favorable weather conditions were also reflected by the estimate of potential biomass, which was 21% above average. Almost all cropland in the area presented an above-average BIOMSS.
