摘要

The Yellow River is the second largest river in China, and it is of paramount importance as it serves various hydro-ecological functions for its inhabitants and environment.It consumes 12％ of the water in China, with annual runoff accounting for 2％ of the whole country.For sustainable water resources management under climate change and land cover changes (mainly the vegetation change), it is essential to understand the terrestrial water storage change (WSC) and its major driving factors in the Yellow River Basin (YRB) [1].
