英文摘要 | Surface-water availability, defined as precipitation minus evapotranspiration, can be affected by changes in vegetation. These impacts can be local, due to the modification of evapotranspiration and precipitation, or non-local, due to changes in atmospheric moisture transport. However, the teleconnections of vegetation changes on water availability in downwind regions remain poorly constrained by observations. By linking measurements of local precipitation to a new hydrologically weighted leaf area index that accounts for both local and upwind vegetation contributions, we demonstrate that vegetation changes have increased global water availability at a rate of 0.26 mm yr(-2 )for the 2001-2018 period. Critically, this increase has attenuated about 15% of the recently observed decline in global water availability. The water availability increase is due to a greater rise in precipitation relative to evapotranspiration for over 53% of the global land surface. We also quantify the potential hydrological impacts of regional vegetation increases at any given location across global land areas. We find that enhanced vegetation is beneficial to both local and downwind water availability for similar to 45% of the land surface, whereas it is adverse elsewhere, primarily in water-limited or high-elevation regions. Our results highlight the potential strong effects of deliberate vegetation changes, such as afforestation programmes, on water resources beyond local and regional scales. |
