The spatiotemporal response of soil moisture to precipitation and temperature changes in an arid region, China Universiteit Gent
Soil moisture plays a crucial role in the hydrological cycle and climate system. The reliable estimation of soil moisture in space and time is important to monitor and even predict hydrological and meteorological disasters. Here we studied the spatiotemporal variations of soil moisture and explored the effects of precipitation and temperature on soil moisture in different land cover types within the Tarim River Basin from 2001 to 2015, based on ...
On the relationship between historical land-use change and water availability: The case of the lower Tarim river region in Northwestern China KU Leuven
Natural ecosystems in the region of the lower Tarim river in northwestern China, strongly deteriorated since the 1950s due to an expanding desertification. As a result, the downstream Tarim river reaches became permanently dry land. This historical evolution in land-use change is typically the result of the anthropogenic impact on natural ecosystems. Based on a spatially distributed hydrological catchment model bi-directionally linked with a ...
Integrating satellite observations and human water use data to estimate changes in key components of terrestrial water storage in a semi-arid region of North China Universiteit Antwerpen
Sustainable management strategies for water resources rely on accurate knowledge about the dynamics of hydrological processes, especially in drylands, where freshwater is the limiting factor for the development of human society and ecosystems. The populated Loess Plateau (LP) in North China is a typical semi-arid region where competition for water between people and nature is worth noting because of afforestation promoted by the Grain to Green ...
Climate change impact on water resource extremes in a headwater region of the Tarim basin in China KU Leuven
The Tarim river basin in China is a huge inland arid basin, which is expected to be highly vulnerable to climatic changes, given that most water resources originate from the upper mountainous headwater regions. This paper focuses on one of these headwaters: the Kaidu river subbasin. The climate change impact on the surface and ground waterresources of that basin and more specifically on the hydrological extremes were studied by using both lumped ...
