Soil Erosion and Controls in the Slope-Gully System of the Loess Plateau of China: A Review
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021 The Loess Plateau has long been suffering from serious soil erosion of which erosion from the slope-gully system is now dominant. The slope-gully system is characterized with distinctive erosion distribution zones consisting of inner and inter gully ...

Optimizations of Process Parameter for Erosion Wear Using Sustainable Machine Learning Approach [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Aim of current study is to utilize different sustainable artificial intelligence (AI) tools to check the influence of test factors on erosion wear. Bottom ash is taken as erodent at different solid concentration while brass is considered as base material.

Short-term effects of wildfire on soil arthropods in a semi-arid grassland on the Loess Plateau
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Fires lead to dramatic shifts in ecosystems and have a large impact on the biota. Soil organisms, especially soil fauna, are often used as indicators of environmental change. At present, minimal attention has been paid to using soil fauna as an indicator

Elevated temperature erosion of abradable seal coating
Journal of Electrochemical Science and Engineering, 2022 Abradable coatings are essentially sealing materials and are deposited by thermal spray techniques. The main function of these coatings is to control the clearance of the gas path of the gas turbine engines.
