The exposure of the Earth's surface to energetic input rainfall is one key factors controlling water erosion. While erosion identified as most serious cause soil degradation globally, global patterns erosivity remain poorly quantified and estimates have large uncertainties. This hampers implementation effective mitigation restoration strategies. Quantifying challenging it requires high temporal resolution(<30 min) fidelity recordings. We present results an extensive data collection effort...

Abstract Evapotranspiration (ET) is dominated by transpiration (T) in the terrestrial water cycle. However, continuous measurement of still difficult, and effect vegetation on ET partitioning unclear. The concept underlying use efficiency (uWUE) was used to develop a new method for assuming that maximum, or potential uWUE related T while averaged apparent ET. T/ET thus estimated as ratio over using half‐hourly flux data from 17 AmeriFlux sites. shown be essentially constant 14 sites, broadly...

Increases in concurrent climate extremes different parts of the world threaten ecosystem and our society. However, spatial patterns these their past future changes remain unclear. Here, we develop a statistical framework to test for dependence show widespread temperature precipitation observations model simulations, with more frequent than expected concurrence around world. Historical anthropogenic forcing has strengthened over 56% 946 global paired regions, particularly tropics, but not yet...

Abstract Compound droughts with low soil moisture (SM) and high vapor pressure deficit (VPD) pose significant threats to terrestrial carbon sink agricultural production. However, the frequency intensity of compound their adverse impacts on cycle remain highly uncertain. Here, we define identify vegetation (VCDs) when SM VPD severely limit adversely affect uptake. We find frequent severe VCDs considerable uptake in mid- low-latitude regions, particularly drylands. Risks have been greatly...

Abstract Water use efficiency is a critical index for describing carbon‐water coupling in terrestrial ecosystems. However, the nonlinear effect of vapor pressure deficit (VPD) on has not been fully considered. To improve relationship between gross primary production (GPP) and evapotranspiration (ET) at subdaily time scale, we propose new underlying water (uWUE = GPP · VPD 0.5 /ET) hysteresis model to minimize lags among GPP, ET, VPD. Half‐hourly data were used validate uWUE seven vegetation...

Inappropriate use of land and poor ecosystem management have accelerated degradation reduced the storage capacity reservoirs. To mitigate effect increased sediment yield, it is important to identify erosion-prone areas in a 287 km2 catchment Ethiopia. The objectives this study were to: (1) assess spatial variability yield; (2) quantify amount delivered into reservoir; (3) prioritize sub-catchments for watershed using Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). SWAT model was calibrated validated...

Abstract The Budyko hypothesis states that the ratio of actual evapotranspiration over precipitation ( E / P ) is fundamentally related to potential 0 ). A number functions have been proposed describe such a relationship between and . There is, however, no simple method generate meet water energy constraints. This study showed analytically for any function, sum elasticity with respect equal unity. complementary sensitivity has important implications evaluating hydrologic impact change in...

With rapid socio-economic development over the past three decades in China, adverse effects of human activities on natural ecosystem are particularly serious arid regions where landscape ecology is fragile due to limited water resources and considerable interannual climate variability. Data land use, surface ground water, climate, gross domestic product (GDP) per capita from middle Heihe River Basin were used (i) examine changes consumption, use composition, vegetation cover; (ii) evaluate...

Abstract. Rainfall erosivity quantifies the effect of rainfall and runoff on rate soil loss. Maps are needed for erosion assessment using Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) its successors. To improve maps that currently available, hourly daily data from 2381 stations period 1951–2018 were used to generate new R-factor 1-in-10-year event EI30 mainland China (available at https://doi.org/10.12275/bnu.clicia.rainfallerosivity.CN.001; Yue et al., 2020b). One-minute 62 stations, which 18 had a...

Large-scale deforestation alters water availability through its direct effect on runoff generation and indirect forest-climate feedbacks. However, these effects their spatial variations are difficult to separate poorly understood. Here, we develop an attribution framework that combines the Budyko theory experiments with climate models, showing widespread reductions caused by of feedbacks can largely offset reduced forest cover increases. The dominates hydrological responses over 63%...
