英文摘要 | Understanding the changes in aridity is crucial because of the substantial impacts it can have on human society. However, realistic aridity changes and their underlying climatic mechanisms demonstrate large uncertainties in China. Here we adopted the aridity index (AI) to assess the aridity changes in China, and we quantified the relative contributions of various climatic drivers (the precipitation, net radiation, wind speed, relative humidity, and air temperature) to AI changes based on the station data during 1961-2016. Our results showed that the arid/semi-arid northwest China and Tibet Plateau experienced wetting trends, while western sub-humid north and northeast China and western humid south China exhibited drying trends during 1961-2016. The dominant climatic drivers involved in the changing AI trends changed from arid to humid regions. In arid northwest China, increasing precipitation and decreasing wind speeds contributed the most to the wetting trends (0.024 and 0.017 in 56years, respectively). In the semi-arid Tibet Plateau, increasing precipitation dominated the wetting trends (0.045 in 56years). However, in sub-humid/humid north and northeast China and south China, decreasing wind speed and net radiation dominated the annual AI changes (0.061 and 0.092 in 56years, respectively). In addition, AI of northwest China and the Tibet Plateau exhibited a significant abrupt change in 1987 and exhibited wetter states afterwards, which could be caused by the abrupt increase in precipitation in 1987. This study could improve current understanding of the aridity changes in China and help adapt its potential impacts. |
