The role of leaf litter in hydrological processes and soil erosion forest ecosystems is poorly understood. A field experiment was conducted under simulated rainfall runoff plots with a slope 10%. Two common types North China (from Quercus variabilis, representing broadleaf litter, Pinus tabulaeformis, needle litter), four amounts five intensities were tested. Results revealed that the reduced delayed beginning runoff, but significantly loss (p<0.05). Average yield 29.5% 31.3% less than...

Canopy interception, throughfall, stemflow, and runoff have received considerable attention during the study of water balance hydrological processes in forested ecosystems. Past research has either neglected or underestimated role functions litter layers, although some studies considered impact various characteristics rainfall on interception. Based both simulated conditions North China, effect mass, intensity type maximum storage capacity (S) interception (C) were investigated under five...

Abstract River regulations and changing land management practices are generally perceived to be the dominant drivers of river flood changes in countries with rapid economic growth, such as China. Here, we demonstrate based on most comprehensive database date, that climate variations dominate spatial pattern annual peak discharge China, despite intense human alterations systems over past four decades. Regional increases mainly associated increasing precipitation due East Asian Summer Monsoon,...

Abstract Rainfall interception research in forest ecosystems usually focuses on by either tree crown or leaf litter, although the 2 components interact when rainfall occurs. A process‐based study was conducted to jointly measure and litter interaction between processes for 4 species ( Platycladus orientalis Pinus tabulaeformis represented needle‐leaf species, Quercus variabilis Acer truncatum broadleaf species) at 3 simulated intensities (10, 50, 100 mm hr −1 ). Results indicated that (a)...

Abstract. Here we for the first time present a nationwide characterization of flood hazards across China. Our analysis is based on an exceptional dataset 1120 stream gauging stations with continuous records annual peaks at least 50 years entire country. results are organized by centering various aspects peak distributions, including temporal changes in series and their spatial variations, statistical distribution extreme values, properties storms that lead to peaks. These altogether...

Abstract Middle and eastern routes of the South–North Water Diversion Project (SNWDP) China, which are approximately located within area 28°–42°N 110°–122°E, being constructed. This paper investigates past climatic variations on various time scales using instrumental proxy data. It is found that annual mean surface air temperature has increased significantly during 50–100 years, winter spring temperatures in northern part region have undergone most significant changes. A much more increase...

Abstract Riverine flooding associated with landfalling tropical cyclones (TCs) in the western North Pacific basin is responsible for some of most severe socioeconomic losses East Asian countries. However, little known about spatial and temporal patterns TC its climate controls, which constrain predictive understandings flood risk this highly populated region. We provide a climatological characterization over China based on an exceptional network stream gauging stations across entire country....

Flowering, the beginning of reproductive growth, is a significant stage in growth and development plants. Conifers are economically ecologically important, characterized by straight trunks good wood quality and, thus, conifer plantations widely distributed around world. In addition, species have tolerance to biotic abiotic stress, stronger survival ability. Seeds some species, such as Pinus koraiensis, rich vitamins, amino acids, mineral elements other nutrients, which used for food...

An experiment was conducted to concentrate on the rainfall interception process of individual trees for four common species in Beijing, China, which included needle (Platycladus orientalis and Pinus tabulaeformis) broadleaf (Quercus variabilis Acer truncatum). Two types storages, maximum (Cmax) minimum storage (Cmin), were examined at simulated intensities (from 11.7 78.5 mm h−1). Results showed that an average 91% Cmax all intercepted during first 10 minutes rainfall, while 45% drained off...

Land surface hydrothermal conditions (LSHCs) reflect land moisture and heat conditions, play an important role in energy water cycles soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. Based on comparison of four evaluation methods (namely, the classic statistical method, geostatistical information theory fractal method), this study proposed a new scheme for evaluating spatial heterogeneity LSHCs. This incorporates diverse remotely sensed parameters, e.g., leaf area index-LAI, normalized difference vegetation...

In China, historical documents have recorded large quantities of information related to natural disasters, and these disasters had long-lasting effects on economic social activities. Understanding the occurrence their spatio-temporal variation characters is crucial for sustainable our society. Therefore, based collection collation documents, adopting mathematical statistics, Kriging interpolation, correlation analysis other methods, we systematically explored meteorological in Henan Province...

Abstract Low-temperature weather accompanied by strong chill wind is considered as a great risk factor for human health in winter, especially some extreme conditions. Based on the observation data and NCEP/NCAR reanalysis of air temperature velocity 1961–2019, warming pause (WCT) 21st century China first revealed this paper. A significant increasing trend WCT found during 1961–1999 (P1), slight decreasing 1999–2019 (P2) detected 21 year running analysis. The cold day (WCD) with index below...
