Temporal trends of hydro-climatic variables and runoff response to climatic variability and vegetation changes in the Yiluo River basin, China.

The article presents a study which investigates the temporal trends and spatial distribution of precipitation, air temperature, evapotranspiration and runoff in the Yiluo River basin in China. It notes the use of Mann-Kendall, Yamamoto and linear fitted models in exploring the climatic variability. It discusses the implication of the findings on the temporal trends of the variables, the downward trend of annual runoff and the vegetation changes.
