Abstract EN
Near surface energy budget changes have been proved to be induced by the land cover conversion through changing the surface physical properties, which can further impact the regional climate change.
This study applies the DLS model to simulate the land cover under the business as usual (BAU) scenario and then analyses the seasonal and interannual variation of energy balance in the semiarid grassland area of China based on the simulated land cover with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model.
The results indicate that the grassland will show a growing trend under the BAU scenario.
Downward long wave radiation and downward short wave radiation will all have small-scale increase with time going by, while the surface net radiation will decrease from 2030 to 2050.
However, there is obvious seasonal variation.
Summer has the highest downward long wave radiation and downward short wave radiation, followed by spring and autumn.
The lowest are in winter.
As for the net surface radiation, there is obvious decrease in southeast of study area due to returning cropland to grassland.
Those research conclusions can offer valuable information for the land use planning and relieving the effects of land cover change on climate change at the semiarid grassland area.
