Agriculture is highly sensitive to climate change. As one of the most important food crops in the world, maize (commonly known as corn) plays a vital role in ensuring food security and national economic development. However, climate change impacts the maize ecosystem. In China, maize is extensively cultivated as one of the most widely grown food crops. Conducting an in-depth study on the impact of climate change on the maize ecosystem is of great significance to ensure a stable supply and food security of maize. This paper summarizes the effects of climate change on the maize ecosystem in China from various aspects, including (1) planting boundaries and areas, (2) cultivation systems and yields, (3) quality, and (4) agricultural inputs. The purpose of this paper is to provide a reference for evaluating the impact of climate change on maize and promoting the sustainable development of maize cultivation.
