Fig. 5.3 Simulated effects of afforestation on the annual average precipitation (measured in
millimeters) in Jiangxi Province
In comparison, the simulation results under the scenarios of EB and EN indi-
cated that the overall effects of the evergreen forest expansion on the annual
average precipitation are not as significant as that under the scenarios of DB and
DN. In most part of Jiangxi Province, the evergreen forest expansion will make the
annual average precipitation increase by 50-200 mm under the scenarios of EB
and EN (Fig.
5.3
). The drought effects under the scenarios of EB and EN will
mainly happen in the area near the eastern boundary of Jiangxi Province. The
annual average precipitation will decrease by 2.6 and 3.9 mm under the scenarios
