Karst landscapes of China: patterns, ecosystem processes and services [PDF]

Landscape Ecology, 2019
Abstract Context The karst region of southwestern China, one of the largest continuous karsts in the world, is known for its unique landscapes and rich biodiversity. This region has suffered severe environmental degradation (e.g., vegetation cover loss, soil erosion and biodiversity loss).

Monitoring of Extreme Agricultural Drought of the Past 20 Years in Southwest China Using GLDAS Soil Moisture

Remote Sensing, 2022
Drought can cause severe agricultural economic losses and hinder social and economic development. To manage drought, the process of drought events needs to be described with the help of an effective drought indicator.

Ecosystem service delivery in Karst landscapes: anthropogenic perturbation and recovery [PDF]

Acta Geochimica, 2017
Couvrant de vastes régions de la Chine, les paysages karstiques sont exceptionnels car un changement rapide et intensif de l'utilisation des terres n'a provoqué une grave dégradation de l'écosystème qu'au cours des 50 dernières années. L'intensification de la production alimentaire par l'agriculture au XXe siècle a entraîné une détérioration rapide de ...

Simulation of Soil Organic Carbon Content Based on Laboratory Spectrum in the Three-Rivers Source Region of China

Remote Sensing, 2022
Soil organic carbon (SOC) changes affect the land carbon cycle and are also closely related to climate change. Visible-near infrared spectroscopy (Vis-NIRS) has proven to be an effective tool in predicting soil properties.

Spatiotemporal Characteristics of Rural Restructuring Evolution and Driving Forces in Mountainous and Hilly Areas

Land, 2022
Rural restructuring is an effective means to boost rural revitalization. Research on rural restructuring and its driving forces is helpful to adjust the evolution direction of key development factors, and form a coupling and coordinated development ...

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Terrestrial Vegetation and Its Driver Analysis over Southwest China from 1982 to 2015

Remote Sensing, 2022
Global environmental changes have been dramatic recently, exerting substantial effects on the structures and functions of terrestrial ecosystems, especially for the ecologically-fragile karst regions. Southwest China is one of the largest karst continuum

The spatiotemporal pattern and influencing factors of land surface temperature change in China from 2003 to 2019

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2021
Land surface temperature (LST) is an essential parameter in land–atmosphere interaction. However, it is still poorly understood about the effects of seasonal LST on the interannual LST change and the dominant driving force for the variation in LST.

Effect of microbes on karstification in karst ecosystems [PDF]

Chinese Science Bulletin, 2011
The role of microbes in the karstification process was determined based on the karst dynamics, CO2 capture, and carbonate deposition. A close relationship was found among microbial activity, karst dynamics and stability, and the carbon cycle in a karst ecosystem.

The Effect of Testing Lag on Chemical Indexes of Karst Water

Yankuang ceshi, 2019
BACKGROUND Sample testing is important for studying hydrogeology, engineering geology and environmental geology in Karst areas. The inconvenience of transportation, the difficulty of sample shipping and the delayed sample analyses by testing laboratory ...
