“…Intensification of hydrologic droughts was generally a consequence of increasing ET (Han, Huang, et al., 2020; Padrón et al., 2020; Teuling et al., 2013). Our study showed that vegetation greening had stronger effects on ET in spring and autumn months (Figure 6), which could potentially exacerbate droughts (Bruijnzeel, 2004; Padrón et al., 2020).…”

Understanding the cascading effects of vegetation greening on the hydrological cycle is important in integrated watershed management to address contemporary water resources issues in the context of land-use/land-cover change and climate change (Hao et al., 2015;Sun et al., 2006;. However, the interactions among climate, vegetation, and water are highly complex, and significant knowledge gaps remain regarding the influence of forest on water yield under a changing climate (IUFRO, 2018), especially at a large scale (Schwarzer, 2021).Afforestation is the dominant driver of vegetation greening in many regions of the world (Chen et al., 2019), particularly in East Asia and Europe (Buitenwerf et al., 2018;FAO, 2020). However, the main intentions of afforestation are to increase carbon storage and reduce soil erosion while water is rarely considered to be a priority in forest management (IUFRO, 2018). Guiding principles on water-centered forest management have been developed only recently (FAO, 2021). Concerns have emerged from reports that afforestation programs with a sole focus on promoting carbon sequestration (

Indonesia is an archipelago with tropical climatic conditions, and part of it has arid areas. Monitoring groundwater dynamics effectively and efficiently is one of the challenges in a large area. GRACE is the Geodesy satellite that collects the sub-surface data. GRACE data is one of the gravity anomaly data that can be used for groundwater dynamics detection. Monthly groundwater monitoring can be used to determine the dynamic pattern of terrestrial water storage. It can be used as a parameter for the detection and prediction of drought in a large area. This study aims to model Indonesia's monthly groundwater levels based on gravity anomaly with GRACE satellite data. Anomaly gravity in GRACE's data is the main parameter in monitoring groundwater dynamics. Based on the results of monitoring during January-December 2020, three groundwater conditions were obtained in Indonesia. These conditions always have high groundwater potential, areas with diverse groundwater dynamics, and low groundwater areas. This low groundwater condition occurs in arid areas. The dynamic groundwater pattern occurred in the same month and had a similar pattern every season observed from 2002-2020. For example, the East Nusa Tenggara region has nine months of low groundwater potential. The potential and prediction of drought can be anticipated following the results of monitoring groundwater dynamics. Monitoring and predicting drought by predicting groundwater dynamics using GRACE's data can be an efficient and effective alternative for mapping, especially in Indonesia's vast and water-dominated territory.

As an important component of terrestrial ecosystems, the mountainous areas of southwest China are facing eco-environmental stress due to rapid urbanization. This study analyzed the vegetation dynamics during urbanization in 410 counties in the mountainous area of southwest China using trend analysis and bivariate spatial autocorrelation analysis. The results demonstrate the following: (1) The regional differences in the natural background and the stage of economic development resulted in obvious geographical heterogeneity in the relationship between urbanization and vegetation coverage. (2) The relationship between the rate of urbanization level change (RULC) and the slope of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) (Slope−NDVI) in the mountainous areas of southwest China is characterized by an inverted-U-shaped curve. Based on the inflection point (0.206, 57.60) of the inverted-U-shaped curve, the optimal mean annual RULC is 1.37%. (3) The relief degree of the land surface, the gross domestic product (GDP) change rate, and the slope of temperature change are positively correlated with the Slope−NDVI. Overall, an understanding of how urbanization affects vegetation dynamics can inform decisions concerning ecological restoration and urban–rural development in China.
