Fig. 7: Impacts of climate change on regional precipitation patterns and their interactions with human land use in shaping Yangtze River floods.
From: Anthropogenic transition in flood regimes: insights from a millennium of the Yangtze River records
Global climate change influences regional precipitation through dynamic and thermodynamic mechanisms. Concurrently, human activities, including afforestation/deforestation, agricultural practices, irrigation, polder expansion and drainage, urbanization, and dam construction and operation, alter flood patterns in the basin.
