摘要
Because of the increasing concerns about global climate change，it has been known by more and morepeoples that there is a close relationship between wetland and/or peatland resources and climate change. This paper pre-sents a new methodology to study the local climate variation caused by wetland shrinking around Qinghai Lake，thelargest in-land salty lake in China，byuse of a regional climate model (RCM) that commonly used in climate changestudy. The objective focuses on the regional climate effect of the shrunk wetland coverage in recent years. The resultsof numerical experiment showed that if the wetland coverage axround Qinha Lake were recovered as if in early 50s oflast century，the regional climate in this area could be better with more cloud covers， higher relative humidity and moreprecipitation. In the other word, the area of wetland reduced is one of the most important reasons that caused regionalclimate aridification， eco-environmental deterioration and even desertification around Qinhai Lake.
