Hydrological response to climate change: The Pearl River, China under different RCP scenarios
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of climate change on seasonal discharge and extreme flows on the Pearl River basin was assessed using the variable infiltration capacity (VIC) model driven by bias-corrected results of five different climate models under the IPCC scenarios RCP4.5 and 8.5.
