DHRFLUT: A scenario-controlled framework for decoupling runoff responses from land use transitions – a case study in China’s Wei River basin

Puntos clave

• Runoff responses are effectively separated from land use transitions using the DHRFLUT framework, demonstrating its utility in hydrological analysis.
• Key findings show a notable reduction in runoff variability with effective land management practices across the Wei River basin.
• This study employs a scenario-controlled framework to analyze hydrological models in response to varying land use patterns.
• The findings support the potential for improved watershed management, needing further validation in diverse environments.
