Modeling seismic wave propagation in the Loess Plateau using a viscoacoustic wave equation with explicitly expressed quality factor

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The thick Quaternary loess on the Loess Plateau of China produces strong seismic attenuation, resulting in weak reflections from subsurface exploration targets.

The loss of plant species diversity dominated by temperature promotes local productivity in the steppe of eastern Inner Mongolia

Ecological Indicators, 2022
In the semiarid grassland ecosystems of eastern Inner Mongolia, the interrelations among the species diversity of different plant communities, productivity, soil nutrients and climate were thoroughly studied through integrated approaches combined with ...

Climate Change and CO₂ Fertilization Have Played Important Roles in the Recent Decadal Vegetation Greening Trend on the Chinese Loess Plateau

Remote Sensing, 2023
Vegetation greening has been widely occurring on the Chinese Loess Plateau, and the contributions of human land-use management have been well-understood.

Assessment of population genetic diversity and genetic structure of the North Chinese leopard (Panthera pardus japonensis) in fragmented habitats of the Loess Plateau, China

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Leopard (Panthera pardus) populations on the Chinese Loess Plateau have experienced severe declines and were once on the verge of extinction. Currently, leopards in the Loess Plateau region are mainly scattered in human-dominated fragmented habitats in ...

Complete chloroplast genome sequence of Annamocarya sinensis (Juglandaceae), an endangered perennial plant

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
Annamocarya sinensis (Juglandaceae) is a tertiary relict tree restricted to southeastern China and northern Vietnam. Here, we first report and characterize its complete chloroplast genome based on Illumina paired-end sequencing data. The complete plastid

Flume Tests to Investigate the Initiation Mechanism of Loess Mudflows on the Chinese Loess Plateau [PDF]

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Loess has a strong water sensitivity, so loess landslides often transform into loess mudflows when water is added on the Chinese Loess Plateau, which results in high casualties and property loss of the Chinese government. In this study, a series of flume tests were designed to study the initiation of loess mudflows.

Terrestrial mollusc records from Xifeng and Luochuan L9 loess strata and their implications for paleoclimatic evolution in the Chinese Loess Plateau during marine Oxygen Isotope Stages 24-22 [PDF]

Climate of the Past, 2011
Marine Isotope Stages 24-22 is a key period of the Mid-Pleistocene Transition, however, its climate variability is still unclear. The coarse-grained loess unit L9, one of the most prominent units in the Chinese loess stratigraphy, yields a high potential

Assessing Ecological Conditions of Microtopography for Vegetation Restoration on the Chinese Loess Plateau [PDF]

Nature Environment and Pollution Technology, 2020
Microtopographies affect large portions of the Chinese Loess Plateau after years of water erosion. Vegetation restoration has proven to be an effective way to conserve water and soil, however, studies of the influence of microtopography on naturally ...

Chemical variations of loess from the Chinese Loess Plateau and its implications

International Geology Review, 2022
The Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) is the largest loess deposit on Earth with expansive surface-exposed source rocks of varying origins, ages, and history. Here, we present abundances of elements on representative loess and palaeosol samples from seven classic sections of the CLP. Most elements, including soluble elements (e.g.

Magnetostratigraphy and Palaeoclimatic Significance of the Late Pliocene Red Clay‐Quaternary Loess Sequence in the Lanzhou Basin, Western Chinese Loess Plateau

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020
The history of red clay‐loess accumulation in the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) is the key to understanding the aridification history of the Asian interior and the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau. Here we present high‐resolution magnetostratigraphy and grain‐
