Eurasian drylands are vital for the global climate and ecological balance. Quantifying spatiotemporal variations in surface soil moisture (SSM) is essential monitoring water, energy, carbon cycles. The suitability of recent global-scale datasets arid semi-arid regions has not been comprehensively evaluated. This study investigates trends five SSM products—MERRA-2, ESACCI, GLEAM, GLDAS, ERA5—from 1980 to 2023. performance these products was evaluated using situ station data three-cornered hat...
Unleashing the land sector's potential for climate mitigation requires purpose-driven changes in management. However, contributions of past management to current global and regional carbon cycles remain unclear. Here, we use vegetation modelling reveal how a portfolio ecological restoration policies has impacted China's terrestrial balance through developing counterfactual 'no-policy' scenarios. Pursuing conventional assuming no or atmospheric dioxide (CO
Eurasian dryland ecosystems consist mainly of cropland and grassland, their changes are driven by both natural factors human activities. This study utilized the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), gross primary productivity (GPP) solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) to analyze changing characteristics activity in Eurasia over past two decades. Additionally, we integrated mean annual temperature (MAT), precipitation (MAP), soil moisture (SM), vapor pressure deficit (VPD)...
The extensive implementation of the ‘Grain for Green’ project over Loess Plateau has improved environmental quality. However, it resulted in a greater consumption soil water, and its overall hydrological effects remain highly controversial. Our study utilized coupled land-atmosphere model to evaluate vegetation changes resulting from revegetation or reclamation on hydrology Plateau. Revegetation was found stimulate an increase precipitation, evapotranspiration, atmospheric water content....
This paper presents an assessment of two-layer, depth-averaged Richards equation model (DARE) under various soil texture and boundary conditions by comparison with HYDRUS predicted volumetric moisture content. DARE was assessed for three textures two layered profiles subject to different fluxes prescribed pressure at the surface combined zero-pressure head free drainage bottom conditions. The results showed that had good response upper condition. It average contents condition matched well...
