abstract = "{Evapotranspiration (ET) serves as a crucial indicator for understanding
both global and regional water cycles and the impacts of climate
change. Traditionally, water balance-based ET derived using
satellite gravimetry, runoff and precipitation is considered as
a benchmark for ET assessment. However, this method faces
limitations in providing long-term, high temporal resolution ET
estimates because of the relatively short observation period of
the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites.
To address this challenge, we reconstruct long-term terrestrial
water storage change (TWSC) using statistical reconstruction and
hydrological models. Then we estimate the long-term ET and its
driving factors in the Yangtze River Basin (YRB) using the water
balance equation and ridge regression. Dividing the study period
into three subperiods between the end of the 20th century and
around 2015, ET in the upper and middle YRB exhibits a
decreasing-rising-decreasing trend. ET and precipitation in the
upper and middle YRB show an increasing trend throughout the
entire study period, indicating an intensification of the water
cycle in the YRB. ET changes over the past four decades are
mainly driven by changes in surface vegetation cover and
precipitation. This study provides valuable scientific
references for the reproduction and prediction of the basin
water cycle and the refinement of ET models under historical and
different future climate scenarios.}",
