Ecohydrological Changes Associated with Long-Term Ecological Water Conveyance in the Lower Tarim River: Linking Groundwater, Relative Surface Salinity, and Vegetation Productivity
Long-term ecological water conveyance has been implemented to reconnect hyper-arid inland-river corridors, but ecological effectiveness cannot be inferred from delivered water volume alone. We assessed ecohydrological changes in the lower Tarim River from 2000 to 2023 using annual water conveyance records, groundwater...
