Abstract: Abstract Understanding the responses of water yield (WY) to climate change and vegetation greening is crucial for water resources management. However, quantifying the feedback relationships among climate, vegetation, and WY remains challenging. In this study, we developed a system feedback assessment framework based on Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoff (InVEST), gravity center model, and structural equation model to reveal these relationships. The framework involves identifying land cover transfer projects, assessing spatio-temporal variations in climate, vegetation, and WY, and quantifying their system feedback relationships, which was applied in the Yellow River Basin (YRB) with significant climate change and vegetation greening. The results demonstrated that precipitation, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and WY showed significant increasing trends (p
