Rapid urbanization throughout the globe increases demand for fresh water and the
ecosystem services associated with it. This need is conventionally met through the …

Societal demand for vitally important hydrological and other forest ecosystem services (FES)
has been rapidly increasing due to accelerating socioeconomic development and global …

Quantifying the effects of forest changes on hydrology in large watersheds is important for
designing forest or land management and adaptation strategies for watershed ecosystem …

Land use change is one of the dominant driving factors of hydrological change at the
watershed scale. Thus, understanding the hydrological responses to land use changes can …

Implementation of the Grain-for-Green project has resulted in significantly increased
vegetative cover on the Loess Plateau of China during the past few decades. The plant …

Accurately quantifying evapotranspiration (ET) is essential for modelling regional-scale
ecosystem water balances. This study assembled an ET data set estimated from eddy flux …

Vegetation restoration dominates the changes of land surface and then results in the
reduction of runoff and sediment yield within a catchment. This study investigated the …

The general relationships between vegetation and water yield under different climatic
regimes are well established at a small watershed scale in the past century. However …

Abstract The Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) is a unique Critical Zone with deep loess
deposits, where soil moisture is primarily replenished by seasonal monsoon rainfall …

Climate warming is projected to affect hydrological cycle in forest ecosystems and makes the
forest–water relationship more controversial. Currently, planted forests are gaining more …
