Abstract:: [Objective]This study aims to explore the variation characteristics of streamflow components and baseflow index(BFI)in the Tuweihe River Basin, to clarify the impact of environmental factors on their variations, to identify the dominant factors, and to provide scientific basis for watershed water resources management. [Methods]Tuweihe River Basin in the middle reaches of the Yellow River was taken as the study area. The changes of surface runoff, baseflow and baseflow index(BFI)during the period 1958—2017 were analyzed. The correlation analysis and elasticity coefficient methods were employed to qualitatively and quantitively analyze the influence of environmental factors on them. [Results]The surface runoff and baseflow significantly decreased at a rate of 4.55 and 9.73 mm/decade(p<0.01), respectively, while the BFI showed a significant upward trend(p<0.05). Surface runoff(or baseflow, BFI)was highly sensitive to the changes in potential evapotranspiration, normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI), and volumetric soil water. The changes in NDVI and potential evapotranspiration contributed to the majority of the changes in surface runoff(-34% and -29%), baseflow(-39% and -29%), and BFI(33% and 31%). [Conclusion]The direct and potential hydrological effects of vegetation restoration play an important role in reducing the streamflow components. The changes of streamflow components as well as their relations to environmental changes provide a theoretical basis for the sustainability of water resources and vegetation.
