Abstract

The middle reaches of the Yellow River (MRYR) are a key area for carrying out China’s vegetation restoration project. However, the impact of vegetation variation on runoff in the MRYR is still unclear. For quantitatively evaluating the contribution rate of vegetation variation to runoff in the MRYR, this paper quantified the relationship between Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Budyko parameters ( w ). Then, we used multiple linear regression to quantitatively calculate the contribution rate of different factors on vegetation variation. Finally, an adjusted Budyko formula was constructed to quantitatively calculate the influence of vegetation variation on runoff. The results showed that there is a linear relationship between NDVI and Budyko parameters ( w ) ( p < 0.05); the fitting parameter and constant term were 12.327 and −0.992, respectively. Vegetation change accounted for 33.37% in the MRYR. The contribution of climatic and non-climatic factors on vegetation change is about 1:99. The contribution of precipitation, potential evaporation, anthropogenic activities on the runoff variation in the MRYR are 23.07%, 13.85% and 29.71%, respectively.
