- Abstract:
-
In order to assess the impact of future climate change on streamflow of tropical island forest watersheds, taking the upstream of Nandujiang River Basin in Hainan Island as an example, based on the climate change signals extracted from the CMIP6, we established a localized SWAT model to quantitatively analyze the response of streamflow to climate change. The results were summarized as follows:(1)The average annual streamflow in the upstream of Nandujiang River Basin was 16.1 m3/s, and the streamflow in dry and rainy season accounted for 17% and 83% of the annual streamflow, respectively.(2)The average annual streamflow in the upstream of Nandujiang River Basin decreased slightly during 1961—2020. And the streamflow in dry season increased by 4.6%, while the streamflow in rainy season decreased by 9.9%.(3)The increase of streamflow in dry season was much lower than the decrease in rainy season, resulting in the reduced average annual streamflow. The increase of streamflow in dry season was caused by the increase of precipitation, and the intensified evaporation caused by the rising temperature in rainy season was the key factor to the decrease of streamflow.(4)The responses of streamflow to precipitation change were more sensitive than that to temperature. Under the paths of SSP119, SSP126, SSP434, SSP245, SSP460, SSP370 and SSP585 of CMIP6, the streamflow changes in different periods in the 21st century were mainly affected by precipitation changes. And the enhanced climate change will increase the streamflow variation range in the late 21st century. The streamflow in the study area is more sensitive to precipitation changes than temperature, and precipitation changes will dominate the streamflow changes in the upstream of Nandujiang River Basin in the future.
