Contributions of vegetation restoration and climate change to spatiotemporal variation in the energy budget in the loess plateau of china

Quantifying the impacts of vegetation restoration (VR) on energy exchange is essential for exploring climate-vegetation interactions. Due to the complexity of land–atmosphere energy exchange and limited observation networks, the influence of VR on the energy balance remains unclear. To improve the u...

description Quantifying the impacts of vegetation restoration (VR) on energy exchange is essential for exploring climate-vegetation interactions. Due to the complexity of land–atmosphere energy exchange and limited observation networks, the influence of VR on the energy balance remains unclear. To improve the understanding of the energy budget change associated with VR in the Loess Plateau (LP), we performed a series of sensitivity simulation experiments using the Community Land Model within the Community Earth System Model, and the spatiotemporal responses of energy exchange to VR and the roles of VR in the variations in energy budget under climate change were investigated. The results showed that the land cover changes from 2000 to 2015 exerted a positive effect on net radiation (NR) and sensible heat (SH), and evident increases in annual mean NR and SH were found in the southeastern LP where larger-scale cropland was converted to grassland or forestland, with increasing magnitudes exceeding 2 W/m2.
