Apart from the upper reaches, HA was dominant in summer and autumn, whereas CC was dominant in spring and winter. Changes in runoff might be caused by temporal and spatial differences in HA, such as converting cultivated land into forests and grasslands, increasing NDVI, and constructing dams. This analysis of runoff variations at multiple temporal and spatial scales in a representative basin provides a reliable reference for the ecological management of the LP.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48620,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydrology-Regional Studies","volume":"56 ","pages":"Article 101963"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214581824003124/pdfft?md5=a4607a704d1643b0a7e662e83e875c72&pid=1-s2.0-S2214581824003124-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142162277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
