International Seminar on Soil Erosion and Riverine Sediment in Mountainous Regions
International famous soil erosion and river sediment research experts from Asia, Europe, the America and other regions will be invited to give main reports and panel discussion on this seminar. The climate changing impact, new trends, new progress and new problems of the soil erosion and river sediment in mountainous regions will be discussed, and new countermeasures against the influence of climate change will be discussed also.
Soil erosion and river sediment research belongs to natural sciences. Soil erosion is one of the most widely distributed environmental problems in the world, which poses a great threat to world food security and ecological environment. With the global climate change, the development and evolution process of soil erosion types, intensity and influencing factors in alpine regions have also changed greatly, which affects the sediment transport in alpine regions and its downstream rivers and the design and operation of water conservancy and hydropower projects.
Discussion on the progress and new countermeasures against the influence of climate change (SDGs 13) on soil erosion and river sediment in alpine regions not only accords with the important direction of international soil erosion basic research, but also meets urgent demand of water resource security (SDGs 6) in mountainous areas.
Soil erosion and river sediment research has always been a basic scientific issue of global concern. Soil erosion and river sediment in alpine regions have strong response to climate change, and have great influence on the local ecological environment, sediment transport of downstream rivers and design and operation of water conservancy and hydropower projects, which has become a new hot issue for scientists all over the world.
This activity will strengthen the communication between the soil erosion and river sediment scientists worldwide, promote global cooperation among scientists, governments and enterprises, popularize the UNESCO and SDGs, and add with new perspectives from soil erosion and river sediment in mountainous regions to the relevant SDGs.

- Long-term response of runoff and sediment load to spatiotemporally varied rainfall in the Lhasa River basin, Tibetan Plateau
- Fluvial runoff and sediment play vital roles in channel evolution, material cycling, water resource utilization and ecological environment. In the context of global climate change, the assessment of runoff and sediment in response to climate change is of great significance for water and soil conservation, especially in alpine regions such as the Tibetan Plateau with limited availability of long-term observed data. In this study, based on the available records for the period 1980–2018, the spatiotemporal variations in rainfall-related parameters (rainfall and rainfall erosivity (RE)), and their impacts on the runoff–sediment load (SL) process were investigated in the Lhasa River Basin (LRB) by cross-coherence analysis. In addition, the individual and combined effects of other regional environmental factors (e.g., temperature, snow water equivalent (SWE) and vegetation) on runoff and SL were quantitatively identified using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results showed that the changes in rainfall-related parameters experienced an upward trend at a rate of 3.59 mm/decade (rainfall amount) and 46.05 MJ⋅mm⋅ha-1⋅h-1/decade (RE), respectively. The regions with the most obvious increase occurred in downstream of LRB. However, runoff displayed an insignificant decreasing trend, together with increasing water inputs from the wetter climate in the middle and lower reaches. The contrasting SL trends were found in the middle (significantly descending: 5.5 × 104 t/decade) and downstream reaches (slightly increasing: 19.27 × 104 t/decade). Rainfall-related parameters generally played a positive role in runoff and SL at all hydrological stations, and their action gradually weakened after 2005 despite still being the dominant factor. Other environmental variables, such as vegetation, did not limit runoff but did reduce the SL with an increase in vegetation coverage in the LRB, where large-area vegetation restoration projects were implemented and mainly distributed on the sandy land and floodplain.

- Water stress of Asia's water tower
- Water resources sustainability in High Mountain Asia (HMA) surrounding the Tibetan Plateau (TP)—known as Asia’s water tower—has triggered widespread concerns because HMA protects millions of people against water stress. However, the mechanisms behind the heterogeneous trends observed in terrestrial water storage (TWS) over the TP remain poorly understood. Here we use a Lagrangian particle dispersion model and satellite observations to attribute about 1 Gt of monthly TWS decline in the southern TP during 2003–2016 to westerlies-carried deficit in precipitation minus evaporation (PME) from the southeast North Atlantic. We further show that HMA blocks the propagation of PME deficit into the central TP, causing a monthly TWS increase by about 0.5 Gt. Furthermore, warming-induced snow and glacial melt as well as drying-induced TWS depletion in HMA weaken the blocking of HMA’s mountains, causing persistent northward expansion of the TP’s TWS deficit since 2009. Future projections under two emissions scenarios verified by satellite observations during 2020–2021 indicate that, by the end of the twenty-first century, up to 84% (for scenario SSP245) and 97% (for scenario SSP585) of the TP could be afflicted by TWS deficits. Our findings indicate a trajectory towards unsustainable.

- The profound effects of extreme events on surface processes
- Under the circumstance of global change and active tectonic activity, the social and environmental effects of extreme emergencies (including rainstorm, flood, typhoon, earthquake, etc.) have been widely concerned. These extreme events may increase the flux of surface material transport and geochemical processes by several times or even orders of magnitude,However, little is known about terrestrial surface geochemical processes, flux changes, and their mechanisms for these types of events.The report presents the assessment of the impact of extreme events such as rainstorms and earthquakes on superbiogeochemical processes in recent years, and evaluates the intensity, magnitude and duration of the impact of high-intensity events on the basin's denudation-weathering and carbon budget.

- Glacier melt and element transport
- With the continuous global warming,glaciers will melt faster, physical erosion and chemical weathering will increase, and the production of water, sediment and chemical elements will increase. These elements are likely to affect the aquatic ecosystem after entering the downstream, which may eventually affect the carbon cycle and feed back to the climate system. The authors carried out systematic studies on chemical weathering and bioavailable element production and transport processes that are closely related to glacier ablation. They evaluated the soluble iron release rate/yield of global glaciers, revised the soluble organic carbon release rate/yield of global glaciers, and found conclusive evidence of the increase of chemical weathering rate in global glacier basins.

- Observation and simulation of blowing snow process in High Mountain areas
- The blowing snow process significantly affects the spatial and temporal distribution of snow and surface radiation income and expenditure in mountainous areas, and is an important hydrological process of snow accumulation in alpine mountains. However, the existing land surface models do not consider the influence of blowing snow processes, and there are significant biases in the simulation of the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of snow accumulation in the plateau region in the land surface model. This report will introduce the development of the coupled blowing snow-land surface model and the progress of the evaluation and development of wind-blown snow occurrence scenarios in the context of the simulation status of the surface energy-moisture process and the problems of the simulation of the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of snow accumulation in the plateau region of the Tibetan plateau by the land surface process model CLM4.5.

- Effects of hydrological connectivity on sediment production and carbon transport by erosion in a watershed
- Runoff is an important carrier of sediment transport, and its smoothness, i.e. hydrological connectivity, determines whether sediment can be exported from its source. Studying the impact of hydrological connectivity on the erosion and sediment production process in a watershed is a key scientific issue in understanding the erosion and sediment production process and mechanism of the watershed as a whole. This study applies methods such as graph theory and scenario simulation to quantitatively characterize the connectivity of watershed structure and elucidate the impact of human activities on the connectivity of watershed structure; Based on this, a functional connectivity index based on soil moisture was established, and the key influencing factors of hydrological functional connectivity in the watershed and their rainfall thresholds were determined; By coupling the functional connectivity index and MUSLE, a rainfall event scale watershed erosion and sediment yield model was constructed, revealing the spatiotemporal correlation between watershed hydrological connectivity and sediment source and sink distribution; In addition, the response of soluble carbon output patterns in watersheds to hydrological connectivity was studied, clarifying the main driving forces of soluble carbon migration in watersheds during rainfall processes.
- Multidynamic composite erosion mechanism and key ecological governance technologies in the Yellow River arsenic sandstone area
- The arsenic sandstone area in the Yellow River Basin is known as the "ecological cancer of the Earth". This area is the core source of coarse sediment in the Yellow River and plays a very important role in the national strategy for ecological protection in the Yellow River Basin. In response to the practical problems of severe composite erosion and ecological governance in the arsenic sandstone area, the spatial interaction characteristics of hydraulic, wind, and freeze-thaw composite erosion in the area were elucidated through multiple methods such as typical sampling survey, remote sensing interpretation statistics, field in-situ observation, physical model testing and demonstration verification. The breakthrough was made in the multi dynamic composite erosion in-situ observation dissociation test method and erosion physical model similarity simulation technology, We have innovated the ecological comprehensive governance model and new technologies in the arsenic sandstone area, elucidated the application effects of typical watershed governance technologies, and looked forward to the development direction of ecological governance theory and technology research in the arsenic sandstone area, providing technological support for ecological protection and governance in vulnerable areas.

- Permafrost accounts for about 20% of the land area in the Northern Hemisphere and is an important part of the cryosphere. However, due to its deep burial depth, direct surface observation is often difficult to obtain its response to climate change. Therefore, global models and the corresponding output products are important tools for permafrost research. ERA5-Land which was newly released by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) is the first set of medium and high resolution reanalysis products in the world. This report mainly introduces the applicability of ERA5-Land to soil temperature in permafrost regions and the sources of model errors. By coupling the advanced multi-layer snow cover model to the HTESSEL land surface model, the reporter improved the simulation ability of energy exchange between the ground and atmosphere, thereby significantly improving the applicability of ERA5-Land in permafrost regions.

- Modeling Flow and Transport Processes in Cold Region Subsurface Environments: A Case Study in the Qilian Mountains
- Thermo-hydrologic (TH) processes in frozen soils are prominent for improving the mechanistic understanding of subsurface hydrology in cold regions, which are extremely sensitive to seasonal and climate change. Unfortunately, due to the harsh natural environment, it is difficult to obtain long-term and high-resolution datasets via field observations. Numerical modeling and simulation could serve as a powerful tool to improve a predictive understanding of the TH processes in frozen soils. In this talk, we present an in-house developed physically-based cryo-hydrogeological model for simulating TH processes in frozen soils, which was implemented into an open-source, massively-parallel computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software with a user-friendly interface. As validations, a series of benchmarking cases and laboratory freezing experiment were applied to validate the accuracy of the proposed model. The proposed model was then applied to simulate the TH processes in the frozen soils of a small catchment of the Qilian Mountain on the edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The trends of the dynamic multiphase flow, ice-water phase transition and heat transfer in seasonally frozen soils were highly consistent with field observations. The effects of seasonal change, slope aspect and micro-topography on the TH processes were diagnosed. The proposed model and major findings of this research would provide scientific support for predicting changes in subsurface environments of cold regions.

- The Regulation Mechanism of Dynamic Variation of Underlying Vegetation on Watershed Water Resources
- Climate and underlying surface changes have a significant impact on basin evapotranspiration. However, how to quantitatively decompose their contributions to evapotranspiration variation has always been the focus and difficulty of basin Hydrology research. Based on the basic principle of water and energy balance, a spatial coordinate system for water and energy allocation is established to separate and quantify the impact of climate and underlying surface changes on watershed evapotranspiration. Based on an optimized water energy allocation framework, an attribution study was conducted on the actual evapotranspiration changes in 83 typical watersheds worldwide (1900-2008). The results of this method were compared with those of the decomposition method based on the Budyko Fu formula, and the scientific applicability and applicability of this framework in large-scale watersheds worldwide were tested. Based on this, further discuss the regulatory mechanism of underlying vegetation variation on watershed or regional water resources.

- SALEACH: A New Web-based Soil Salinity Leaching Model for Improved Irrigation Management
- Leaching is essential in irrigated croplands where natural precipitation is insufficient to control salinity buildup. Several useful models exist for salinity management; however, leaching requirement (LR) calculations are based on steady-state approaches that only consider salinity tolerance of crops and irrigation water salinity to estimate the LR. In this study, a web-based soil salinity leaching management model (SALEACH) was developed as an online tool to assist growers for better and easier management of soil salinity to sustain agricultural production in irrigated croplands. SALEACH employs the traditional steady-state approach to estimate LRs but improves outputs by not only considering irrigation water salinity (ECiw) and salinity tolerance of specific crops (ECt), but also root water uptake patterns to account for irrigation system differences, and soil types for differences in hydraulic characteristics, as well as water stress and rainfall input.

Thermal tracing methods, as a cost-effective, easy-to-use, and continuously monitorable natural tracing method, have been widely used to study the exchange patterns and quantify exchange rates in the hyporheic zone. In recent years, the rapid progress of computer numerical techniques and the continuous improvement of temperature sensors have opened up broader development opportunities for in-depth research on thermal tracing methods.

- Carbon storage and carbon sink potential of inland water bodies in China under global change
- The land-water-air carbon fluxes and carbon balance processes in terrestrial ecosystems play a crucial role in uncovering carbon "loss" processes in the land-atmosphere and land-ocean realms, as well as in the carbon neutrality of the Earth system. Therefore, bridging the regional land-water-air carbon fluxes and carbon balance processes between land and ocean is a critical process for carbon neutrality in the Earth system. Analyzing the coupling process of carbon exchange and transport in land-water-air systems, quantitatively evaluating carbon fluxes and carbon balance mechanisms, will provide important scientific evidence for a deeper understanding of the role of terrestrial ecosystems in carbon neutrality processes under global change.

- Freshwater resources have always been a strategically scarce resource for economic and social development worldwide. The development and utilization of transboundary river water resources involve the essential interests of countries in the basin, and continually draw attention from the international community. Currently, the accuracy of runoff simulation studies based on single-target parameter calibration in the basin is often limited, leading to increased uncertainty in the simulation of runoff regulation by cascade reservoirs, making it difficult to quantitatively assess the impact of climate change and reservoir regulation on runoff. It is an urgent scientific problem for the academic community to conduct systematic and quantitative research on the dynamic changes of all cascade reservoirs based on hydrological and meteorological research methods, utilizing advanced technologies such as existing geospatial observations.

- The impacts of changes in hydrological processes on the transport and release of carbon in frozen soil
- The carbon storage in permafrost regions accounts for approximately 50% of the global soil carbon pool. Climate change has led to the degradation of permafrost and the release of large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, further exacerbating global temperature rise and forming positive feedback on climate change. The degradation of permafrost affects carbon transport and release by altering hydrological processes. However, insufficient consideration is currently given to the degradation process of permafrost, including warming and rapid collapse, which limits the estimation of carbon release in permafrost. The report focuses on the degradation of permafrost, the carbon cycle of permafrost, and hydrological processes. It mainly elaborates on three aspects: how hydrological processes respond to permafrost degradation, how permafrost degradation affects carbon transport and release processes, and how it will affect the Arctic carbon cycle as a whole.

- Third Pole microbes under climate change
- Microbes are important life forms in the extreme environments of the Third Pole, mediating the cycling of crucial elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur. Conducting research around them can reveal the boundary conditions required for sustaining life and also hold implications for the exploration of extraterrestrial life. Additionally, the Third Pole is one of the regions most strongly affected by climate warming. The direct impact of climate warming leads to accelerated glacier melting and extensive exposure of bare soils at the glacier forefront. By understanding the influence of climate warming on microbes in glacier forefronts, we can deepen our understanding of the effects of climate change and provide a theoretical basis for the feedback between glacier ecosystems and climate change.

- Response of Extreme Climatic Hydrological Events and Vulnerability of Water Resources System in the River Source Area of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to Climate Change
- Global climate change has heightened the instability of climate and hydrological systems, potentially intensifying the frequency and intensity of extreme climatic hydrological events. Additionally, climate change significantly impacts the water cycle, resulting in spatiotemporal variations in water resources, exacerbating floods and droughts in certain regions, and altering the availability of water resources, thereby affecting the vulnerability of water resource systems. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau serves as a crucial water source for both high mountain and downstream regions. However, the severe climate change not only affects the frequency, intensity, and severity of extreme climatic hydrological events in the river source area of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau but also disrupts its water cycle, subsequently influencing water resources in downstream regions. Future projections indicate a continued rise in temperatures in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region, accompanied by an increasing frequency of droughts and floods, which poses a threat to regional sustainable development. Therefore, studying the vulnerability of extreme climatic hydrological events and water resource systems under climate change is essential for addressing the negative impacts of such events and providing a scientific basis for adaptive strategies toward achieving socio-economic sustainability.
