In order to study the coupling effects of land use/land cover and climate variability on runoff and sediment transport, LÜergou watershed was taken as an example and the trend of annual streamflow and sediment transport in period of 1982-2010 were examined. By using the nonparametric Mann-Kendall test and the change of annual streamflow and sediment discharge in different period were analyzed. In addition, the contributions of landuse and climate variability period to runoff and sediment yield were assessed. The results showed that: (1) The reduction of streamflow and sediment transport in unremarkable variation period was less than in remarkable period; (2) In unremarkable variation period, the estimated streamflow reduction from 1987-1991 was attributable to landuse change (59.01%) and climate change (40.98%), so, the streamflow reduction was mainly due to the change of landuse;the reduction of mean annual sediment yield by 13.80 thousand ton, the climate variability caused the reduction of mean annual sediment yield by 8.10 thousand ton; (3) In remarkable variation period, we estimated that streamflow reduction from 1991-2010 was attributable to landuse change (34.43%) and climate change (65.57%), the landuse caused the reduction of mean annual sediment yield by 48.00 thousand ton, the climate variability caused the reduction of mean annual sediment yield by 43.70 thousand ton; (4) The effects of landuse on runoff and sediment transport gradually decreased, while the effects of climate variability gradually increased.
