The continued aridity trend occurring in many regions worldwide is
a manifestation of the response of the earth system to global
change. It hinders severely the sustainable development of these
regions. Northern China is one of the largest and most affected
regions in the world. This book documents the climate change in its
arid and semi-arid areas on decadal to geological time scales based
on analyses of various data sources. These analyses improved our
understanding of the potential mechanisms driving the aridity
trend, particularly in the second half of the 20th century. Based
on these analyses and a systematic assessment of the impact of the
aridity trend on the ecological and hydrological processes in
northern China, measures of human adaptation to the aridity trend
for socio-economic developments are proposed.World Scientific
Series on Asia-Pacific Weather and Climate is indexed in SCOPUS.
