Analyzing the future changes in runoff is crucial for efficient water resources management and planning arid regions with large river systems. This paper investigates runoffs of headwaters Tarim River Basin under different emission scenarios by forcing hydrological model SWAT-Glacier using six regional climate models from Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) project. Results ind...

Numerous studies have demonstrated that a complex distribution of water resources, regional development, and management mechanisms create significant challenges for transboundary river basins. We utilized diagnostic thinking to examine the issues 14 main watersheds in three regions (Northeast, Northwest, Southwest) China. Our four diagnosis points were quantity, quality, ecological stability hu...

This study aimed to compare the hydraulic characteristics of different vitalities of Populus euphratica to reveal the differences in their water use strategies and water consumption to provide useful data to scale water use of riparian poplar forests in the lower reaches of the Tarim River, Northwestern China. Our results showed that the sapwood area of P. euphratica could be estimated based on...

The status of regional biodiversity is determined by habitat quality. effective assessment quality can help balance the relationship between economic development and conservation. Therefore, this study used InVEST model to conduct a dynamic evaluation spatial temporal changes in Tarim River Basin southern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region China calculating degradation degree levels for types tha...
