干旱区气候变化及其对山地森林生态系统稳定性和水文过程影响研究进展OA北大核心CSTPCD

Water is essential for the formation of oases in arid areas.Water source districts maintain the existence of oases,facilitate sustainable development of the local economy,and ensure the stability of the ecological envi-ronment in the mountains of the northwest arid area.Forest ecosystems are important for water conservation and are called a"green reservoirs"in mountainous areas.Climate change is anticipated to alter the structure and com-position of terrestrial ecosystems,affecting elements of the terrestrial water cycle and exacerbating water shortag-es,thereby posing a threat to arid oases.This study briefly reviews and summarizes the research progress and ex-isting problems related to climate change and their impact on the stability and hydrological processes of mountain forest ecosystems in arid regions.In the future,it also suggests that the trend of climate change needs to be evalu-ated in arid mountains with an enhanced spatial resolution of 1 km.A comprehensive study of the impact of cli-mate change on the stability of mountain forest ecosystems and hydrological processes in arid areas is recom-mended,considering multiple scales,interfaces,disciplines,and methods.This approach aims to promote the de-velopment of mountain ecology in arid areas and to lay the theoretical foundation for arid area management de-partments to adapt to and mitigate the impact of climate change.It further emphasizes the need to scientifically formulate management plans for climate change conditions and realize effective water resource management,thereby promoting sustainable environmental and socioeconomic development under climate change conditions in arid regions.
