Abstract Understanding hydrological effects of ecological restoration (ER) is fundamental to develop effective measures guiding future ER and adapt climate change in China's Loess Plateau (LP). Streamflow ( Q ) an important indicator processes that represents the combined climatic land surface conditions. Here 14 catchments located LP were chosen explore response different driving factors during period 1961–2009 by using elasticity decomposition methods based on Budyko framework. Our results...
Earlier vegetation greening under climate change raises evapotranspiration and thus lowers spring soil moisture, yet the extent magnitude of this water deficit persistence into following summer remain elusive. We provide observational evidence that increased foliage cover over Northern Hemisphere, during 1982-2011, triggers an additional moisture is further carried summer. Climate model simulations independently support attribute driving process to be larger increases in than precipitation....
Abstract Drought is an intermittent disturbance of the water cycle that profoundly affects terrestrial carbon cycle. However, response coupled and cycles to drought underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here we provide first global synthesis effect on ecosystem use efficiency (WUE = gross primary production (GPP)/evapotranspiration (ET)). Using two observational WUE datasets (i.e., eddy-covariance measurements at 95 sites (526 site-years) gridded diagnostic modelling based existing...
Plant rooting depth (Zr) is a key parameter in hydrological and biogeochemical models, yet the global spatial distribution of Zr largely unknown due to difficulties its direct measurement. Additionally, observations are usually only representative single plant or several plants, which can differ greatly from effective over modeling unit (e.g., catchment grid-box). Here, we provide parameterization an analytical model that balances marginal carbon cost benefit deeper roots, produce...
Abstract This review examines the role of atmospheric evaporative demand (AED) in drought. AED is a complex concept and here we discuss possible definitions, subsequent metrics to measure estimate AED, different physical drivers that control it. The influence on meteorological, environmental/agricultural hydrological droughts discussed, stressing important spatial differences related climatological conditions. Likewise, drought has implications regarding how consider their attempts quantify...
Soil organic carbon (SOC) stored in permafrost across the high-latitude/altitude Northern Hemisphere represents an important potential source under future warming. Here, we provide a comprehensive investigation on spatiotemporal dynamics of SOC over high-altitude Tibetan Plateau (TP), which has received less attention compared with circum-Arctic region. The region covers ~42% entire TP and contains ~37.21 Pg perennially frozen at baseline period (2006-2015). With continuous warming, active...
Abstract Afforestation and deforestation as human disturbances to vegetation have profound impacts on ecohydrological processes influencing both water carbon cycles ecosystem sustainability. Since 1999, large‐scale revegetation activities such “Grain‐to‐Green Program” been implemented across China's Loess Plateau. However, negative consequences, including streamflow decline soil drying emerged. Here we estimate the equilibrium cover over Plateau based an model assess balance under actual...
Abstract Vegetation phenology is a sensitive indicator of the dynamic response terrestrial ecosystems to climate change. In this study, spatiotemporal pattern vegetation dormancy onset date ( DOD ) and its controls over temperate China were examined by analysing satellite‐derived normalized difference index concurrent data from 1982 2010. Results show that preseason (May through October) air temperature primary climatic control spatial across China, whereas cumulative precipitation...
Leaf area index (LAI) is increasing throughout the globe, implying Earth greening. Global modeling studies support this contention, yet satellite observations and model simulations have never been directly compared. Here, for first time, a coupled land–climate was used to quantify potential impact of satellite-observed greening over past 30 years on terrestrial water cycle. The global LAI enhancement 8% between early 1980s 2010s modeled caused increases 12.0 ± 2.4 mm yr −1 in...
Abstract Accurate quantification of terrestrial evapotranspiration and ecosystem productivity is significant merit to better understand predict the response energy, water, carbon budgets under climate change. Existing diagnostic models have different focus on either water or flux estimates with various model complexity uncertainties induced by distinct representation coupling between processes. Here, we propose a estimate gross primary production that based biophysical mechanism yet simple...
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...
