Estimating the Effect of Precipitation and Vegetation on Water Yield in Northern China

Abstract: The effect of vegetation on water yield is a popular and important issue in ecohydrological studies. In response to the widely observed degradation of formerly forested land and the rising demands for paper pulp, industrial wood, and wood fuel, the need for large-scale reforestation programs has been expressed repeatedly. To address the increasing levels of soil erosion and desertifi cation, China has implemented many large-scale reforestation programs in recent decades [1]. While creating many economic and ec… Show more

“…At the class level, WYLD and nutrient yield were negatively correlated with the LPI and AI of forestland and positively correlated with the LPI and AI of dry farmland (Figure 9), which is consistent with results from related studies [4,41,51]. The annual evapotranspiration (ET) losses of crops are generally smaller than the ET losses from trees [51,52]. The change from forestland to farmland resulted in decreased ET, thereby increasing WYLD [34].…”

“…Nowadays, the research on runoff generation mechanisms is changing towards multiple spatiotemporal scales [24][25][26], and new demands are gradually emerging. The research perspective has also begun to move towards the basin water yield process, to explore the basin water yield, water yield coefficient, and ecosystem water yield service [27][28][29]. The primary goal of water yield baseline establishment is to enrich the natural capacity of the basin.…”
