✦ Synopsis

Land use/cover changes, energy budgets and hydrological processes interact in a very complicated way. It is important for us to build bridges between these systems, i.e. to make it clear how and to what degree they in¯uence each other. In this study, a regional water de®cit model, which combines meteorological observations with land cover data derived from remote sensing measurements, was used to simulate the regional hydrological eects of grassland degradation in the Loess Plateau of China, a large arid and semi-arid region with heterogeneous surface conditions.
