An Assessment of Human versus Climatic Impacts on Jing River Basin, Loess Plateau, China by Yi He, Fei Wang, Xingmin Mu, Huiting Yan, Guangju Zhao

“…We develop a new method to assess the impact of human activities based on paired years with similar precipitation and evapotranspiration (ET0) conditions (SPEC) using a 55-year monthly data of climate, runoff, and sediment load in 1958–2012 at Zhangjiashan Hydrologic Station of Jing River, Loess Plateau, China. The SPEC of paired periods is defined by similar annual amounts (difference less than 2.0%) and similar process (linear correlations of monthly data less than 0.05) which could set a precondition fixing the possible influence of climate factors. …”
