“…Daily rainfall data is better than monthly rainfall data. Spatial distribution is characterized by a decreasing trend from the southeast to the northwest, which is in accord with previous studies [33,34,50,51].…”

“…The region is experiencing gradual warming, and also becoming increasingly wetter, both in winter and summer (Figure S4). These trends in temperature and precipitation, toward progressively warmer and wetter conditions, are consistent with adjacent regions of the Tibet‐Xinjiang plateau (Ding et al, ; Wang et al, ; Xu, Knudby, Ho, Shen, & Liu, ). The broad vegetation type is alpine shrub‐steppe (also called desert‐steppe).…”

“…So evidence of browning (Shen et al, 2013;Yu et al, 2010;Zhang et al, 2013) appears counterintuitive. The underlying mechanisms that could explain browning instead of greening may include altered snowmelt patterns under warmer climate (Musselman, Clark, Liu, Ikeda, & Rasmussen, 2017), declining water availability in soil (Schlaepfer et al, 2017), and accelerated erosion of topsoil with loss of soil organic matter and reduction in soil fertility (Wang et al, 2017). If these indirect mechanisms are at play (Turnbull et al, 2008), then their effects should be incorporated into land use policy, as they can be influenced by grazing mediated feedbacks at the plant-soil interface (Bagchi & Ritchie, 2010;Bagchi, Roy, et al, 2017;Klein et al, 2007).…”

“…Temporal variations of the R factor, along with changes in the other soil erosion factors, reflect apparent temporal trends in the rates of soil erosion, which have significant implications for climate change impact assessment and mitigation. Studies on temporal variations of the R factor have been extensively reported based on historical records (Diodato and Bellocchi, 2009; Meusburger et al, 2012; Klik and Konecny, 2013; Ramos and Duran, 2014; Panagos et al, 2016a; Qin et al, 2016; Wang et al, 2017) and future climate projections (Nearing, 2001; Zhang et al, 2010; Shiono et al, 2013; Segura et al, 2014; Yang et al, 2015; Panagos et al, 2017a). Similar to the development of an erosivity map, high‐temporal‐resolution data usually cover limited stations and record lengths (Verstraeten and Poesen, 2006; Fiener et al, 2013), so most research in the past was based on the empirical relationship between erosivity values from high‐resolution data and those from coarse‐resolution rainfall (Angulo‐Martinez and Beguería, 2012; Ma et al, 2014; Ramos and Duran, 2014).…”
