A New Indicator to Better Represent the Impact of Landscape Pattern Change on Basin Soil Erosion and Sediment Yield in the Upper Reach of Ganjiang, China

open access: yesLand, 2021
Landscape patterns are a result of the combined action of natural and social factors. Quantifying the relationships between landscape pattern changes, soil erosion, and sediment yield in river basins can provide regulators with a foundation for decision ...

A note on threshold velocity criteria for modelling the solid particle erosion of WC/Co MMCs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The threshold velocity for erosion of a ductile material is considered as the velocity required for initiation of plastic deformation in the substrate.

Using the USLE: Chances, challenges and limitations of soil erosion modelling

open access: yesInternational Soil and Water Conservation Research, 2019
To give soils and soil degradation, which are among the most crucial threats to ecosystem stability, social and political visibility, small and large scale modelling and mapping of soil erosion is inevitable.

Leaf Photosynthetic and Functional Traits of Grassland Dominant Species in Response to Nutrient Addition on the Chinese Loess Plateau

open access: yesPlants, 2022
Leaf photosynthetic and functional traits of dominant species are important for understanding grassland community dynamics under imbalanced nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) inputs. Here, the effects of N (N0, N50, and N100, corresponding to 0, 50, and 100

Erosion of synchronization in networks of coupled oscillators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We report erosion of synchronization in networks of coupled phase oscillators, a phenomenon where perfect phase synchronization is unattainable in steady-state, even in the limit of infinite coupling.

The assessment of soil loss by water erosion in China

open access: yesInternational Soil and Water Conservation Research, 2020
Soil erosion is a major environmental problem in China. Planning for soil erosion control requires accurate soil erosion rate and spatial distribution information. The aim of this article is to present the methods and results of the national soil erosion

Fractal features of soil particle size distributions and their potential as an indicator of Robinia pseudoacacia invasion1

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
To study the fractal dimensions of the soil particle size distributions (PSDs) within different plantations (of Pinus densiflora, Quercus acutissima, Robinia pseudoacacia, and Larix kaempferi) and evaluate PSDs as an indicator of the likelihood of ...

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Alleviate Low Phosphorus Stress in Maize Genotypes with Contrasting Root Systems

open access: yesPlants, 2022
Soil available phosphorus (P) is one of the main factors limiting plant growth and yield. This study aimed to determine the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in P-use efficiency in two maize genotypes with contrasting root systems in response to

Mapping erosion-corrosion of carbon steel in oil-water solutions : Effect of velocity and applied potential [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In this study, the combined effects of erosion and corrosion on carbon steel were investigated in three environments containing crude oil, reservoir water, and a mixture of both solutions at a range of applied potentials, velocities and impact angle. The
