Desert Soil Salinity Inversion Models Based on Field In Situ Spectroscopy in Southern Xinjiang, China

Remote Sensing, 2022
Soil salinization is prominent environmental issue in arid and semi-arid regions, such as Xinjiang in Northwest China. Salinization severely restricts economic and agricultural development and would lead to ecosystem degradation.

Long-Term Effects of the Harvesting of Trapa natans on Local Water Quality and Aquatic Macrophyte Community in Lake Erhai, China

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021
Trapanatans is one of the main species causing the swamping in the littoral zones of Erhai Lake. It commonly forms a dense canopy on the water surface in the growing season (June–September), which hampers the local water quality and habitat of submerged ...

Groundwater Altered Water Balance and Plant Water Use Efficiency in Desert Ecosystems

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Groundwater is an important water source in water‐limited desert ecosystem. Less attention has been paid to how the water balance and plant performance in such ecosystems vary with the presence or absence of groundwater. Appropriate replanting strategies play a pivotal role in preventing desertification.

The value of long‐term in situ soil moisture and snowpack monitoring: Laying the foundation for future studies in the Upper Missouri River Basin

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 24, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract In recent decades, the Upper Missouri River Basin (UMRB) has experienced record floods (2011 and 2019) and severe flash droughts (2012 and 2017). These natural disasters are closely associated with soil moisture and snowpack conditions, and are expected to increase in frequency in the future due to climate change. Long‐term monitoring data not
