Abstract
Study region
Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau lakes(YGPL)
Study focus
Particulate composition is critical for understanding the changes in underwater light fields and primary productivity. In this study, an empirical algorithm was developed based on a band ratio (555 nm/645 nm) of atmospherically corrected surface reflectance of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro-radiometer(MODIS), using 1215 in-situ samples to estimate particulate composition (Organic Suspended Matter/Total Suspended Matter, OSM/TSM). The study further explored the intra-annual and inter-annual variability of OSM/TSM using General Linear Model(GLM) and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), and examined its linkages by analyzing the covariation between OSM/TSM and submerged vegetation (SV) in Erhai from 2000 to 2024.
New hydrological insights
The OSM/TSM algorithm demonstrated satisfactory performance (R²=0.71, RMSE=0.14, UMAPE= 31.23 %). Results showed that Urban lakes exhibited 1.3 times higher annual mean OSM/TSM than natural lakes, with all lakes exhibiting consistent seasonal peaks during the summer and autumn. A weak but consistent long-term declining trend in OSM/TSM (-0.003 yr⁻¹) was observed across most lakes, except for Dianchi and Yangzonghai. GLM analysis revealed that wind speed was the dominant factor driving intra-annual OSM/TSM variability, accounting for 45.58 ± 15.94 %. PLS-SEM results indicated that climate factors were the primary inter-annual driving in natural and semi-urban lakes, while human activity, such as lake expansion and nighttime light, dominated in urban lakes. OSM/TSM was shown to be a potential influencing factor for the growth of submerged vegetation.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies publishes original research papers enhancing the science of hydrology and aiming at region-specific problems, past and future conditions, analysis, review and solutions. The journal particularly welcomes research papers that deliver new insights into region-specific hydrological processes and responses to changing conditions, as well as contributions that incorporate interdisciplinarity and translational science.
