Land use is a critical determinant of land degradation. In this article, I examine how changes in land use from 1957 to 1997 in El Dorado County, located in the Central Sierra Nevada of California, have resulted in the degradation of hardwood rangelands. To do so, I analyze the environmental discour

Dendro-ecological studies indicated that radial growth of Populus trichocnrpa was significantly related to annual streamflow at 20 riparian sites in the eastern Sierra Nevada of California. The strength of the relationship varied among sites, depending on geomorphology and tree cover. The strongest
## Abstract This study aims to determine temporal trends and spatial distribution of the annual and monthly precipitation in the Haihe River Basin, China, during 1951β2008. A significant decreasing trend was observed for the annual precipitation, mainly attributed to the abrupt decrease in the floo
## Abstract It is becoming increasingly important to be able to verify the spatial accuracy of precipitation forecasts, especially with the advent of highβresolution numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. In this article, the fractions skill score (FSS) approach has been used to perform a scale
