Ecosystem health assessments are crucial to protect the ecological environment and ensure sustainable functions of alpine ecoregions. At present, few studies evaluating ecosystem Gannan grassland, China, an ecologically fragile area, based on a remote sensing theoretical framework exist. As such, this study assessed grassland Remote Sensing-based Ecological Index (RSEI) provided comparative analysis RSEI Gross Primary Productivity (GPP), extending their spatiotemporal patterns influencing...
Mountain regions are experiencing more pronounced climate change than other global land areas. How have vegetation dynamics responded to these changes and what the implications for hydrology? To answer questions, we examine impacts of in mean air temperature (Tmean), precipitation (P) winter snow cover extent (SCE) headwaters Yellow River basin (HYRB) on two important dynamic metrics: (i) maximum growing-season greenness (represented by monthly NDVI); (ii) beginning growing season (BGS)....
Abstract Conservation management for the water dependent desert‐oasis ecotone in arid northwest China requires information on use of dominant species. However, no studies have quantified their combined or linked species composition to transpiration. Here, three shelterbelt shrubs ( Haloxylon ammodendron , Nitraria tangutorum and Calligonum mongolicum ) within an was measured throughout full leaf‐out period shrub from 30 May 16 October 2014, with sap flow gauges using stem heat balance...
Root architecture is a crucial determinant in the water use of desert shrubs. However, lack integrated research on root functional type and uptake dynamic hinders our current understanding water-use strategies species. A field experiment was conducted to investigate three dominant species, Haloxylon ammodendron, Nitraria tangutorum Calligonum mongolicum, dynamics their uptake. The stem sap flow microclimate were monitored, intact systems these shrubs excavated native habitats oasis-desert...
Abstract. The Penman-Monteith (P-M) model has been applied to estimate evapotranspiration in terrestrial ecosystem throughout the world. As shown many studies, bulk canopy resistance is an especially important factor application of P-M model. In this study, authors used Noilhan and Planton (N-P) approach Jacobs De Bruin (J-D) express resistance. was a maize field using two approaches arid area northwest China evaluated on basis measured half-hourly values from eddy covariance system. results...
Abstract Knowledge of exchanges energy and water over terrestrial surfaces is the first step towards understand ecohydrological mechanisms, particularly in water‐limited ecosystems dryland environments. However, patterns exchange evapotranspiration (ET) are not well understood oasis‐desert ecotone, which plays an important role protecting oases against threat desertification arid regions northwestern China. Here, continuous measurements surface fluxes were made using eddy covariance...
Abstract. Basins with glaciers and snow provide water storage supply for downstream irrigated farmland, but their hydrology is often poorly known because there are limited observation networks in high mountain regions. Large uncertainties hydrological simulations also arise from errors associated meteorological forcing data. The influence of precipitation temperature data on rain/snow dominated watershed well documented, less so basins glaciers. We analyzed the impacts reliability...
