Understanding the relationships between topographic indices and crop yield variability is important for soil manage- ment and crop production in rolling landscape. Two agricultural fields at Alvena and Hepburn, Saskatchewan, Canada were selected to examine how topographic indices were related to wheat yield under two topographic and weather conditions in the Canadian prairies. The landscapes of the two sites are classified as hummocky and the dominant soil type is an Aridic Ustoll. The relationships among yield, topography, soil, and weather were analyzed using wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain yield from Alvena in 2001 (dry year) and 2004 (wet year) and from Hepburn in 1998 (dry year). Topographic/soil indices included relative elevation, wetness index, upslope length, curvature, soil organic matter, and soil moisture storage before seeding. The results indicated that, in the dry years, the correlation coefficients between upslope length and grain yield were 0.79 for the typical rolling landscape (Alvena) in 2001 and 0.73 for shallow gentle rolling landscape (Hepburn) in 1998. In the wet year (2004), the relationships between yield and topographic/soil attributes were not as strong as in dry years. Therefore, upslope length was the best yield indicator for the two landscapes in dry years, whereas no topographic indices were highly correlated to crop yield in wet years. Those topographic indices seemed useful in identifying the yield variability and delineating the proper management zone.

7月19日  晴  我第一次发现身边有一块忧伤的橡皮,是在一节晚自习之后。教室里的灯光无比明亮,而它却静静地躺在阴暗的桌下一角,没有眼泪,也没有欢笑。  在此之前,我一直觉得橡皮是一个长不大的孩子,总是喜欢躲躲藏藏,享受被我寻寻觅觅的乐趣,在我准备放弃它时,它又巧笑着走出来,炫耀自己又成为这一轮捉迷藏游戏的赢家。我不喜欢橡皮,因为它是如此调皮淘气。有时我找不到它,还会心急如焚,甚至骂它两句。  但
