Attribution of trends in meteorological drought during 1960–2016 over the Loess Plateau, China

چکیده
This study uses two forms of the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI), namely PDSI_TH (potential evapotranspiration estimated-by Thornthwaite equation) and PDSI_PM estimated by FAO Penman-Monteith equation), to characterize meteorological drought trends during 1960–2016 in Loess Plateau (LP) its four subregions. By designing a series numerical experiments, we mainly investigated various climatic factors’ contributions at annual, summer, autumn time scales. Overall, drying trend is much larger than that PDSI_PM. The former more sensitive air temperature precipitation, while latter most precipitation among all factors. Increasing results decreasing (drying) PDSI_TH, which further aggravated jointly leading relatively severe trend. For considers comprehensive factors, partly counteracted declining wind speed solar radiation. Therefore, ultimately shows smaller past decades.

Caragana korshinskii is commonly employed to improve drought ecosystems on the Loess Plateau, although the molecular mechanism at work is poorly understood, particularly in terms of the plant's ability to tolerate drought stress. Water is the most severe limiting factor for plant growth on the Loess Plateau. The trichome is known to play an efficient role in reducing water loss through decreasi...
