Figure 1 Location of the study area (Gutun catchment in Yan'an) and the precipitation in it Note: The monthly and daily precipitation values in 2013, 1960-2012, and 2014-2022 are shown on the right. The red dots in (a), (b), and (c) refer to the monthly and daily precipitation values in 2013. The blue bars in (a) and (b), and the blue dots in (c) refer to the average monthly and daily precipitation values in 1960-2012. The green bars in (a) and (b), and the green dots in (c) refer to the average monthly and daily precipitation values in 2014-2022. Data on meteorological observations at the Yan'an station were obtained from the China Meteorological Data Service Center (CMDSC) (http://data.cma.cn/).

Figure 15 Comparison of changes in elevation between the Gutun catchment and the area under the Gully Land Consolidation Project Note: The histograms reflect the areas undergoing different levels of changes in elevation between the Gutun catchment and the parts of its area designated under the Gully Land Consolidation Project. The percentage labels in the histograms reflect the area ratios of different levels of changes in elevation to the corresponding area.
