Abstract

The occurrence of drought indicates that there is no rainfall or little rainfall within a certain period. Nevertheless, no or little rainfall within a certain time implies that drought may not happen. The drought occurrence in different regions or seasons shows a certain lag to some extent. The lag time and intensity (i.e., the contribution rate of rainfall in previous period to runoff in current period) are deeply affected by watershed water storage capacity. Subsequently, rainfall deficit is a necessary and insufficient for the droughts. To reveal the mechanism of watershed lagged effects and the impact of human activities on droughts, the characteristics of lagged effects and human activities in Central Guizhou of China are analyzed by the Lagged index and Landscape index based on land use data, rainfall and runoff data during the period 1971–2016. The results demonstrate that the impact of the same land use type in different ages (1970s–2010s) on watershed lagged intensity has a significant difference (P water body > cultivated land > construction land > woodland. As a subsequence, this study enriches the research content of landscape ecology, and it provides a theoretical basis for revealing the mechanism of agricultural and hydrological droughts in Karst drainage basins.
