AB  - The principles and degrees to which land use change and climate change affect 
      direct runoff generation are distinctive. In this paper, based on the MODIS data 
      of land use in 1992 and 2003, the impacts of land use and climate change are 
      explored using the Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (SCS-CN) method under 
      two defined scenarios. In the first scenario, the precipitation is assumed to be 
      constant, and thus the consequence of land use change could be evaluated. In the 
      second scenario, the condition of land use is assumed to be constant, so the 
      influence only induced by climate change could be assessed. Combining the 
      conclusions of two scenarios, the effects of land use and climate change on 
      direct runoff volume can be separated. At last, it is concluded: for the study 
      basin, the land use types which have the greatest effect on direct runoff 
      generation are agricultural land and water body. For the big sub basins, the 
      effect of land use change is generally larger than that of climate change; for 
      middle and small sub basins, most of them suffer more from land use change than 
      from climate change.
