Randomized trial investigates vegetation's role in hydrological drought recovery in semi-arid regions, highlighting risks and benefits.

This research aims to examine how vegetation restoration influences hydrological drought recovery dynamics and water shortage intensity.
Analyzed spatiotemporal changes in vegetation types from 1961–2021.
Studied hydro-meteorological variables across three watersheds (Dali, Xinshui, Yan rivers).
Investigated the impacts of the Grain for Green Program on drought propagation dynamics.
Hydrological droughts showed increased duration, severity, and recovery time post-1999.
Gap between precipitation and potential evapotranspiration widened, intensifying water shortage.
Vegetation restoration has both ecological benefits and increased hydrological drought risks.

Wu et al. (2026) studied this question.
