The non-parametric Mann-Kendall method and Sliding
t
-test were applied in this study to analyze the spatial and temporal patterns of trends of the precipitation in the Loess Plateau from 1958 to 2007. The main trends of the precipitation in this region is downward, only four upward time series have not reach the significant level. Most of the abrupt changes happened in northeast of Loess Plateau during 1980s and 1990s. Furthermore, the abrupt changes happened in the northeast portion of the Loess Plateau were relatively later than those in the west portion of the Loess Plateau.
