Variations of Near Surface Energy Balance Caused by Land Cover Changes in the Semiarid Grassland Area of China

This study applies the Dynamics of Land System (DLS) model to simulating the land cover under the designed scenarios and then analyzes the effects of land cover conversion on energy flux in the semiarid grassland area of China with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. The results indica...
