气候变化背景下黄河流域未来降雨侵蚀力时空变化预估

Projection of spatiotemporal changes in future rainfall erosivity in the Yellow River Basin under climate change

  • 摘要: 土壤侵蚀是黄河流域生态保护和高质量发展所面临的主要威胁之一,而降雨侵蚀力则是驱动土壤侵蚀的关键因素。量化未来降雨侵蚀力的时空变化对评估潜在的土壤侵蚀风险具有重要意义。本研究基于5种CMIP6(Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6,CMIP6)降水数据,选用Xie模型,预估黄河流域在低排放(SSP126)和高排放(SSP585)情景下,近未来(2021–2060年)和远未来(2061–2100年)时期的降雨侵蚀力变化,并定量分析年侵蚀性降雨日数和强度对降雨侵蚀力变化的贡献。结果表明:1)在未来时期,黄河流域低排放和高排放情景下的降雨侵蚀力均呈上升趋势,高排放情景下降雨侵蚀力增幅更大。近未来时期的降雨侵蚀力相较于历史时期分别增加9.2%和12.83%,远未来时期则分别增加14.78%和30.57%。2)黄河流域未来降雨侵蚀力的上升主要归因于年侵蚀性降雨日数和强度的增加,其中年侵蚀性降雨日数的平均相对贡献超过50%,发挥主导作用。季节性分析表明,未来时期春冬季的降雨侵蚀力变化较大,应当予以关注。3)与高排放情景相比,低排放情景能够有效减缓黄河流域未来降雨侵蚀力的增加。在近未来和远未来时期,分别可避免2.9%和17.5%的增长。实施低排放策略能够缓解年侵蚀性降雨日数和强度增加,降低黄河流域未来面临的土壤侵蚀风险。

     

    Abstract: Soil erosion is one of the major threats to ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin, with rainfall erosivity serving as a key driving factor. Quantifying the spatiotemporal variations of future rainfall erosivity is essential for assessing potential soil erosion risks. Based on five CMIP6 precipitation datasets, this study employs the Xie model to project changes in rainfall erosivity over the Yellow River Basin under low-emission (SSP126) and high-emission (SSP585) scenarios for the near future (2021–2060) and the far future (2061–2100), and conducts a quantitative analysis of the contributions of annual erosive rainfall frequency and intensity to changes in rainfall erosivity. The result revealed several critical findings: (1) Rainfall erosivity shows an increasing trend under both emission scenarios, with a more significant rise under the high-emission scenario. Compared to the historical period, rainfall erosivity increases by 9.2% and 12.83% in the near future, and by 14.78% and 30.57% in the far future under the low- and high-emission scenarios, respectively. (2) The projected increase is mainly driven by the rise in both the frequency and intensity of erosive rainfall events, with the average relative contribution of erosive rainfall days exceeding 50%, indicating a dominant role. Seasonal analysis reveals that changes are more pronounced in spring and winter, which warrants further attention. (3) Compared with the high-emission scenario, the low-emission scenario effectively mitigates the increase in rainfall erosivity, avoiding 2.9% and 17.5% of the projected growth in the near and far future, respectively. Adopting low-emission strategies can mitigate the projected increases in annual erosive rainfall frequency and intensity, thereby reducing future soil erosion risks in the Yellow River Basin.
