Understanding the impact of climate change and human activities on vegetation dynamics is crucial for ecosystem management. Employing the Residual Trend method and integrating Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data with land use/cover, this study assesses the impacts of climate change and human activities on vegetation dynamics across China from 2000 to 2018. The findings indicate a consistent upward trend of China’s Growing Season NDVI (GSN), averaging a change rate of 0.0032/yr….
Optimization of the SWAT+ model to adequately predict different segments of a managed streamflow hydrograph
Authors: Tibebe B. Tigabu, Ate Visser, Tariq N. Kadir, Shalamu Abudu, Philip Cameron‐Smith, Helen E. Dahlke
Journal: Hydrological Sciences Journal · DOI: 10.1080/02626667.2024.2364714 · Citations: 13
Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model, runoff, streamflow, hydropower
Complete representation of rainfall–runoff responses in complex, large watersheds using a single-objective parameterization approach in watershed models is often unachievable. In this study we present a calibration approach for the SWAT+ model that independently fits model parameters for different flow segments of the hydrograph. The approach is demonstrated for the Feather River, California, USA, using daily streamflow from the Lake Oroville Reservoir outlet gage. Results show that when mode…
Peak Flow Event Durations in the Mississippi River Basin and Implications for Temporal Sampling of Rivers

Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model, river, streamflow
Abstract The impact of an episodic river flood is intimately linked to its duration. Yet it is still unclear how often should a river be observed to accurately determine the occurrence and duration of extreme events. Here we assess flow statistics along with peak flow event detection and duration as a function of the discharge sampling period for large tributaries of the Mississippi basin using hourly gages over 2010–2022. Median event durations above high quantiles spatially vary from around…

The Yellow River Basin (YB) acts as a key barrier to ecological security and is an important experimental region for high-quality development in China. There is a growing demand to assess the ecological status in order to promote the sustainable development of the YB. The eco-environmental quality (EEQ) of the YB was assessed at both the regional and provincial scales utilizing the remote sensing-based ecological index (RSEI) with Landsat images from 2000 to 2020. Then, the Theil–Sen (T-S) es…
Experimental study of reservoir damage of water-based fracturing fluids prepared by different polymers
Authors: Guodong Wu, Likun Wang, Chunyan Zhao, Zejun Zhang, Jian-Yu Yin, Maryamgul Anwaier et al.
Journal: Petroleum Science · DOI: 10.1016/j.petsci.2024.06.001 · Citations: 25
Matched topics: reservoir
Fracturing operations can effectively improve the production of low-permeable reservoirs. The performance of fracturing fluids directly affects the fracturing efficiency and chase fluid flow capacity. As polymer-based fracturing fluids (such as guar gum, polyacrylamide, etc.) are high-viscosity fluids formed by viscosifiers and crosslinking agents, the degree of gel breakage after the fracturing operation directly influences the damage degree to the reservoir matrix and the mobility of oil an…
