Such projects primarily affect vegetation cover, which in turn influences soil moisture dynamics. This study investigates the changes in surface soil moisture and total soil moisture in the Yellow River Basin before and after the implementation of the Grain for Green Project, thereby assessing its impact on soil moisture conditions. By calculating the trends of soil moisture and NDVI for the periods 1982–1998 and 1999–2014, the effects of the Grain for Green Project on soil moisture were evaluated. We employed partial correlation analysis to obtain the relationship between soil moisture and NDVI. Additionally, an Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network model and the SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) values were used to identify the key factors influencing soil moisture. The results indicated that the areas with a significant increase in vegetation are mainly concentrated in the middle reaches of the Yellow River Basin. Moreover, the Grain for Green Project has resulted in a decreasing trend in surface soil moisture and total soil moisture across more than 60% of the Yellow River Basin, with an average reduction of 0.016 m<sup>3</sup>·m<sup>−3</sup>·decade<sup>−1</sup> in the trend of surface soil moisture and 0.021 m<sup>3</sup>·m<sup>−3</sup>·decade<sup>−1</sup> in the trend of total soil moisture. Furthermore, precipitation was found to have the greatest impact on surface soil moisture, while temperature had the most significant influence on total soil moisture.

They vary strongly in response to climatic, hydrologic, and other drivers and are affected by different flow paths. Water residence and travel time distributions carrying information about sources of streamflow can potentially provide a basis for modelling nitrate and TP dynamics. In this study, we use a travel time model coupled with age—concentration relationships to simulate nitrate and TP concentrations in the Duck River catchment, NW Tasmania, Australia. A modified version of the Tran-SAS model was used with time-varying beta storage selection functions, calibrated against high-frequency electrical conductivity (EC) observations. Concentrations of TP and nitrate were then modelled using the water TTDs coupled with age-concentration relationships for TP and nitrate. This approach separated biogeochemical effects from water travel time and ensured consistent TTDs underpinning the transport of different nutrients. Two years (2008 and 2009 water years) of high-frequency nutrient concentrations were used for model calibration and validation. It was initially hypothesised that the age-concentration relationships for nitrate and TP could be temporally fixed, with the seasonal variation in residence time distribution capturing any seasonality in nutrient behaviour. The models performed moderately under this hypothesis; however, residual analysis clearly demonstrated seasonal declines in the concentrations of TP and nitrate during events across the high flow season. Simulations of TP and nitrate were markedly improved by using different source concentrations: one for the early high flow season and the other for the remainder of the year. Both Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency and the combined seasonal and event dynamics of nitrate and TP were markedly improved by using different source concentrations for these two different periods. This suggests that land management and biogeochemical processing are important influences on the temporal dynamics of nutrients in streams. The study informs future developments of TTD-based water quality modelling and demonstrates the need to include temporally dynamic nutrient source concentrations for young water.</p>","PeriodicalId":13189,"journal":{"name":"Hydrological Processes","volume":"39 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/hyp.70104","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143638910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As global climate change accelerates, understanding its effects on phenology and WUE is essential for comprehending ecosystem dynamics and carbon–water cycles. Northwest China (NWC), one of the driest regions at similar latitudes, is experiencing a rapid shift from a warm-dry to a warm-wet climate, posing significant challenges to its fragile ecosystem. In this study, we used reanalysis and satellite remote sensing datasets to analyse the changes in the start of the growing season (SOS), the end of the growing season (EOS) and the length of the growing season (LOS) for various vegetation types in the NWC from 1982 to 2015. The focus was on how temperature and precipitation variations influenced phenological dynamics and their subsequent impacts on Gross Primary Productivity (GPP), evapotranspiration (ET) and WUE. Our results show that NWC has experienced a significant warming and wetting trend, with the SOS advancing by 0.04 days per year and the EOS delaying by 0.04 days per year, leading to a notable extension of the LOS by 0.08 days annually. Temperature primarily drives the SOS advance, while precipitation changes in croplands and grasslands and temperature shifts in forests and shrublands dictate the EOS delays. WUE increased at a rate of 0.005 gC m<sup>−2</sup> mm<sup>−1</sup> year<sup>−1</sup>, with temperature and precipitation influencing GPP and ET both directly and indirectly through phenological changes. The findings underscore the cascading effects of warming and wetting on vegetation phenology and WUE in the fragile NWC ecosystem. Changes in the vegetation growing season have had significant impacts on carbon and water fluxes, with varying effects across different vegetation types. This study provides valuable insights into the response mechanisms of vegetation to rapid climate change in arid and semi-arid regions and offers critical information for the sustainable management of water resources and agriculture in the NWC.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":13189,"journal":{"name":"Hydrological Processes","volume":"39 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143638909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, geomorphological properties, surficial geology and hydro-meteorological processes were quantified and described in relation to time and spatially variable recession behaviour and storage estimates across the NRW. To explore these relationships, we (1) evaluated seasonal trends in streamflow recession behaviour in relation to modelled potential evapotranspiration (PET) and catchment runoff rates, (2) derived empirical streamflow models for cool-season runoff using both linear and nonlinear reservoir assumptions for baseflow and (3) calculated metrics related to the geology and geomorphology of each catchment and compared these metrics to area normalised baseflow dynamic storage estimates. Results show that baseflow recession behaves as a nonlinear reservoir, and applying linear groundwater reservoir assumptions may underestimate the total dynamic storage volumes compared to what would be predicted for a nonlinear reservoir. Increases in PET caused decreases in storage conditions that resulted in increased recession rates and nonlinearity in streamflow recession during the growing season. Additionally, we found that while no single physical catchment characteristic solely predicted catchment storage dynamics, sediment volume and stream gradients were stronger predictors of normalised storage volumes than catchment surface area or surface topography alone.

Hydrologic connectivity is difficult to quantify because it is goverened by heterogeniety in subsurface storage and permeability and responds to seasonal changes in precipitation inputs and subsurface moisture conditions. How interannual climate variability impacts hydrologic connectivity, and thus stream flow generation and chemistry, remains unclear. Using a rare, four-year synoptic stream chemistry dataset, we evaluated shifts in stream chemistry and stream flow source of Coal Creek, a montane, headwater tributary of the Upper Colorado River. We leveraged compositional principal component analysis and end-member mixing to evaluate how seasonal and interannual variation in subsurface moisture conditions impacts stream chemistry. Overall, three main findings emerged from this work. First, three geochemically distinct end members were identified that constrained stream flow chemistry: reach inflows, and quick and slow flow groundwater contributions. Reach inflows were impacted by historic base and precious metal mine inputs. Bedrock fractures facilitated much of the transport of quick flow groundwater and higher-storage subsurface features (e.g., alluvial fans) facilitated the transport of slow flow groundwater. Second, the contributions of different end members to the stream changed over the summer. In early summer, stream flow was composed of all three end members, while in late summer, it was composed predominantly of reach inflows and slow flow groundwater. Finally, we observed minimal differences in proportional composition in stream chemistry across all four years, indicating seasonal variability in subsurface moisture and spatial heterogeneity in landscape and geologic features had a greater influence than interannual climate fluctuation on hydrologic connectivity and stream water chemistry. These findings indicate that mechanisms controlling solute transport (e.g., hydrologic connectivity and flow path activation) may be resilient (i.e., able to rebound after perturbations) to predicted increases in climate variability. By establishing a framework for assessing compositional stream chemistry across variable hydrologic and subsurface moisture conditions, our study offers a method to evaluate watershed biogeochemical resilience to variations in hydrometeorological conditions.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":13189,"journal":{"name":"Hydrological Processes","volume":"39 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143622380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

That is, re-vegetation might improve the water storage capacity of the shallow soil layers of the watershed, thereby enhancing the capacity of groundwater recharge and discharge. Meanwhile, snowmelt may provide available water for recharging and discharging the watershed.

Using Groundwater Vistas software, a modelling framework for Kuwait City urban aquifer was developed to address this issue. This framework was employed to create a numerical model of the shallow aquifer beneath the urbanised aquifer of Kuwait City. The model was calibrated using groundwater levels from 15 calibration points across the modelled area. Two key factors influenced the calibration: the constant head boundary condition applied upstream in the model domain and the horizontal hydraulic conductivity. The model performed satisfactorily achieving a Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient of 0.983, a root-mean-square error of 1.134 m, and a Kling-Gupta efficiency of 0.971. These results were then used to simulate two complex hydrogeological processes affecting the Kuwait City aquifer: unplanned dewatering schemes and incidental recharge from anthropogenic watering practices. It was found that altering the pumping rate between 250 and 2250 m<sup>3</sup>/day, resembling the dewatering process, could lower the groundwater level by approximately 1.21–1.79 m in coastal areas. Conversely, an unplanned recharge of 1500–6000 m<sup>3</sup>/day could substantially raise groundwater levels by approximately 2.5–3 m in inland areas. However, these findings should be cautiously approached, as certain constraints may significantly influence the model's reliability. These constraints include the limited availability of data records and the possible existence of unknown sources/sinks to the aquifer. The outcomes of this study should aid water managers in establishing reliable groundwater control decisions in the study area and other areas with similar hydrogeologic characteristics.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":13189,"journal":{"name":"Hydrological Processes","volume":"39 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143564853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
