Abstract. Ecosystems in arid areas are fragile and easily disturbed by various natural human factors. As tracers widely exist nature, stable isotopes can be valuable for studying environmental change the water cycle. From 2015 to 2020, we took Shiyang River basin, which has highest utilization rate of resources most prominent contradiction use, as a typical demonstration basin establish improve isotope hydrology observation system. The data system classified type (precipitation, river water,...

Improvements in vegetation coverage are driven by both resource endowment conditions and policy behaviors. To accurately reflect the restoration effect after ecological policies, this study used potential realization model to calculate degree of on Loess Plateau assess Grain for Green Program from 2000 2020. Then, influencing factors were explored using spatial Dubin model. The results reveal that (1) EVI value northern Shaanxi increased below 0.25 at beginning approximately 0.35 end,...

Abstract Gross primary production (GPP) is an important parameter for carbon cycle and climate change research. Previous estimations of GPP on the Tibetan Plateau were usually reported without quantitative uncertainty analyses. This study sought to quantify its partitioning in estimation across alpine grasslands during 2003–2008 with modified Vegetation Photosynthesis Model (VPM). Monte Carlo analysis was used provide a assessment model simulations, Sobol’ variance decomposition method...

This study examines the impact of human-induced changes to lower Brazos-San Bernard delta on sedimentation rates and sediment sources filling estuarine lakes within its western inland area. The began forming in 1929 when Brazos River mouth was relocated 10 km west original position, placing it 5 from San River's mouth. Over time, wave-dominated Delta expanded westward, closing extending beyond it. In 1949, Gulf Coast Intercoastal Waterway (GCIWW) canal completed, bisecting Cedar...

Abstract. Climate change accelerates the global water cycle. However, relationships between climate and hydrological processes in alpine arid regions remain elusive. We sampled surface groundwater at high spatial temporal resolutions to investigate these Qaidam Basin, an extremely area northeastern Tibetan Plateau. Stable H–O isotopes radioactive 3H were combined with atmospheric simulations examine their response mechanisms change. Contemporary dominate variations of isotopes, specifically...

As a species for ecological restoration in northern China, Tamarix ramosissima plays an important role river protection, flood control, regional climate regulation, and landscape construction with vegetation. Two sampling sites were selected the hillside floodplain habitats along Lanzhou City, xylems of T. potential water sources collected, respectively. The Bayesian mixture model (MixSIAR) soil excess (SW-excess) applied to analyze relationship on different pools utilization ratios two...

Extreme hydrological events such as droughts and floods have been increasingly influenced by abnormal atmospheric disturbances caused human activity global warming. The Dongting Lake Basin (DLB) has experienced challenging circumstances over the past 20 years due to complex climatic variations, leading extreme flooding drought. This study aims investigate spatiotemporal variation in terrestrial water storage anomalies (TWSA) DLB using data from GRACE/GRACE-FO GLDAS spanning latest two...

Water is a key and limiting factor for ecosystem processes (carbon dioxide fixation, vegetation growth, respiration, etc.) functions (NPP, Net Primary Productivity) in arid semi-arid areas. As the main regulator, knowledge of plant water use patterns essential understanding SPAC (Soil-Plant-Atmosphere-Continuum) cycle. The tree-planting project southern northern mountains Lanzhou city aims to improve ecological environment promote urban construction. In this study, we analyzed strategies...

Abstract Arid basins in the alpine‐cold area have their unique environmental settings and special groundwater circulation system. Sources, components variation of recharge processes for most rivers seasonal scale are still unknown response to climate warming. Stable H O isotopes were sampled monthly river water groundwater, table fluctuations monitored over a complete cycle from dry wet season conditions Nalenggele River catchment western Qaidam Basin, China. The primary objectives our study...
