Abstract

This paper mainly analyzes water-heat distribution and soil water variations in grassland area of southern Gansu by applying the EOF(empirical orthogonal function) and wavelet analysis.The results show there were jump-points in the evolvement of monthly rainfall and soil-water decreasing,and monthly temperature rise.The slopes of rainfall and temperature were different.The variation rate of monthly rainfall was-13.6mm/10a-4.3mm/10a and that of temperature,0.883℃/10a-0.108℃/10a.The obvious correlations of rainfall and temperature with soil water during growth periods were observed.Also the variation evolvement of rainfall and temperature corresponded with weak 4-year variation period.The change of soil water had good relations with annual rainfall and inter-decadal temperature variations.The oscillation of soil water responded obviously on short rainfall periods and long temperature periods.
