Abstract Vegetation restoration over degraded drylands has considerable climate, carbon and ecosystem benefits, yet its water impacts remain contentious. Previous studies suggest that extra vegetation in could lead to decreased soil moisture runoff caused by enhanced evapotranspiration. However, these ignore important vegetation‐climate feedbacks can partially offset such negative consequences. Here, we examine how revegetation affects budgets China's Loess Plateau, where the world's largest...
Abstract Afforestation is an appropriate approach to control soil erosion, but consumes extra water resources. It also exerts feedbacks on local precipitation, affecting the availability for water‐limited areas. The Chinese Loess Plateau (LP) has implemented world's largest afforestation program mitigate severe erosion. However, it remains unclear how atmospheric cycle responds large‐scale under climate change. Here we show that elevates precipitation in rainy season by intensifying over LP....
Abstract Large‐scale vegetation restoration profoundly affects ecohydrological and hydrometeorological processes with consequent effects on soil water conservation. However, it is still unclear how revegetation the joint relationship between streamflow sediment yield from land‐atmosphere interactions perspective. In this study, we combine in situ hydro‐meteorological observations, satellite observed land surface characteristics, coupled model simulations to address knowledge gap through a...
Abstract. In water-limited areas, planted trees can extract substantial amounts of soil water from deep layers (> 200 cm) to meet their high demand, resulting in desiccation, which influences not only regional cycling but also the sustainability per se drylands. However, specific dimensions desiccation relation both moisture limitation and maximum root uptake (RWU) depth are still well determined. Whether depend on tree species how they will affect trees' xylem hydraulic conductivity...
Abstract Land use and land cover change (LUCC) can influence the regional atmospheric water budget. In this study, Weather Research Forecasting model embedded with evapotranspiration (ET)‐tagging (WRF‐tagging) is used to investigate pathways of ET as well where what extent returns precipitation (P) in agro‐pastoral ecotone northern China (APENC). First, we updated default vegetation indices WRF‐tagging high‐resolution real‐time datasets. modeling reproduces spatial distribution P reasonably...
<title>Abstract</title> Baotou, a city renowned for its steel production and rare earth resource development, is facing significant threats from heavy metal pollution in urban soils. This study analyzed nine soil samples Baotou to assess the bioavailability of metals, including elements (REEs), As, Pb, evaluate environmental risks posed by these The bioavailabilities REEs, Pb were quantitatively examined through vitro simulated digestion experiments involving physiologically based extraction...
Abstract Afforestation is a major anthropogenic forcing to the global and regional climate. However, biophysical impacts of large‐scale afforestation on local temperature in temperate regions remain unclear, due closely matched but compensating radiative non‐radiative effects. The Grain for Green Program (GFGP) program implemented over Loess Plateau (LP) China. GFGP thus provides an ideal platform explore effect afforestation. This study investigated such through long‐term, high‐resolution...
Because of the high elevation and complex topography Tibetan Plateau (TP), role lakes in climate system over is not well understood. For this study, we investigated impact lake processes on local regional using Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) model, which includes a one-dimensional physically based model. The first simulation with WRF model was performed for TP 2000–2010 period, second carried out during same period but filled nearby land-use types. Results show that captures spatial...
Abstract The performance of land surface temperature (LST) simulations in models is subject to uncertainties atmospheric forcing datasets. However, the contributions variables different datasets simulated LST over Tibetan Plateau (TP) remain unclear. To investigate sensitivity simulation forcing, we conducted a series experiments using Community Land Model (CLM5.0) with Results showed that displayed large spatiotemporal variations, and driven by China Meteorological Forcing Data set produced...
High-resolution color infrared (CIR) images acquired with an airborne digital camera were used to detect infieldspatial variability in soil type, crop nutrient stress, and analyze spatial yield. Images processedusing unsupervised learning (clustering) method.
