Subject :Influence of land use and land cover change on land surface temperature in Huang-Huai-Hai Plain Specialty : Cartography and Geographic Information System Name : Ruijie Qu (Signature) Instructor : Xiaolin Cui (Signature) ABSTRACT Land use and land cover change have impacts on global, regional and local climate at different spatial scales, which has attracted much attention. IPCC AR4 pointed out that land use is an important way by which human activities can affect the climate system. Although there are many researches about the impact on climate by land use and land cover change, research on the impact of land use and land cover change on climate of Huang-Huai-Hai Plain, which is the main agricultural area and the quick economic development area, is still very few. Based on the WRF(Weather Research Forecast) Model, coupled with land use and cover change data, fractional vegetation cover data and leaf area index data, this paper carried on a high resolution regional climate simulation. The main conclusions included: (1) As the most important agricultural production case, the percent of arable land area in Huang-Huai-Hai Plain is about 70%. And the construction land is the second largest land-use types, occupied about 14% of the total area. In total, in addition that construction land continued to increase and dry land decline, the other land use and land cover types’ area in Huang-Huai-Hai Plain are in the stable with small floating. (2) Land use and land cover change in the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain, which was characterized by the regional urbanization, led to significant change in the near-surface temperature, making the regional near-surface temperature increase by 0.03℃/year on average. The spatial pattern of climate change basically corresponded to that
