Abstract. The frequency and intensity of drought is increasing dramatically with global warming. Yet, few studies have characterized drought from its impact on the ecosystem services, the mechanisms through which ecosystems support life. As a result, little is known about the implications of increased drought on resource management. This case study characterizes drought by linking climate anomaly with the change in precipitation-runoff relationships, in the Loess Plateau of China, a water-limited region where re-vegetation in the area makes drought a major concern. We analyze droughts with duration greater than 5 years and annual precipitation anomalies more negative than −5 %, we found that continuous precipitation shifts is able to change watershed water balance in the water limited area, multi-year drought caused the precipitation-runoff relationship to change with a significantly descending trend (p

The Impact

The spatial pattern of rural poverty and its influencing factors are unique in regions located in the “double zone”, overlaying the Loess Plateau landform and interprovincial border socioeconomic zone. Using Huining County, located in the interprovincial border area of the Loess Plateau, as a case study, this paper examines the spatial heterogeneity of rural poverty patterns and poverty-causing factors by using geographically weighted regression (GWR) modeling. The potential accessibility indicator is employed to identify the formative mechanism of rural poverty. The results show that rural poverty is significantly correlated with county-level accessibility, water resource accessibility, and town-level accessibility. County-level accessibility and town-level accessibility have significant border effects on rural poverty. The arid characteristics in certain areas of the Loess Plateau mean that the impact of water resource accessibility on the incidence of rural poverty is second only to that of county-level accessibility. Forestland resources have a positive correlation with the incidence of rural poverty in the region dominated by farming. Finally, targeted poverty reduction policies are proposed based on the results of the analysis of poverty-causing factors. The findings derived from this paper can help other developing countries in designing their own poverty reduction policies.
