【 摘 要 】

Article highlights Over the 30 years forest, waterbody, and snow/ice has decreased, whereas shrub/grassland, agriculture, bare area, and built-up has increased in the basin. The ESV of the basin has increased by 2.7 million USD in 30 years. Anthropogenic as well as climate change are the drivers of LUCC-driven ESV changes in the basin.
