Abstract

Among all the factors affecting evapotranspiration (ET) in arid areas, the land use types of underlying surface play a dominant role. Under the effects of climate change and human activities, there was a significant change of land use and land cover change in China, special at loess plateau. Based on satellite remote sensing data and ground observation data, this study analyzed the influences of four land types’ urbanization on ET in arid areas from 2010 to 2015. The results showed that rural residence areas’ urbanization has the most magnificent effect on ET after excluding meteorological effects.
