Relationship Between Karst Rocky Desertification Distribution and Slope Under Different Spatial Scales

Shuitu baochi yanjiu, 2009
Based on the image of SPOT5 in 2005,karst rocky desertification landscape patterns in Boluo area was classified as:no,latent,slight,moderate,strong,and extremely strong karst rocky desertification types.Furthermore,this paper discussed the relationship ...

Assessing Soil Erosion in a Typical Karst Region: A Model Improved by Bedrock Exposure Rate in Guizhou Province

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11112-11125, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion is a major environmental challenge in karst regions of Southwest China, where thin soils and high bedrock exposure accelerate land degradation. This study modified the RUSLE model by incorporating bedrock exposure rate to improve erosion simulation in Guizhou Province from 2000 to 2024.

DEFORESTATION AND ROCKY DESERTIFICATION PROCESSES IN GUNUNG SEWU KARST LANDSCAPE (Proses Deforestasi dan Rocky Desertifcation di Landskap Karst Gunung Sewu) [PDF]

, 2011
Kerapuhan suatu kawasan karst merupakan dasar terbentuknya rocky desertification, yaitu proses yang merubah kawasan karst yang sebelumnya ditutupi oleh vegetasi dan tanah, menjadi landskap batuan hampir tanpa vegetasi dan tanah (Yuan, 1991: 1).

A Study on the Applicability of the Linear Superposition Principle to Overland Flow Resistance Based on HR‐PIV Technology

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Previous studies have suggested that the linear superposition principle fails for thin‐layer overland flows, yet direct experimental evidence remains scarce. This work adopts high‐resolution particle image velocimetry (HR‐PIV) to measure the 2D flow fields of grain resistance and form resistance in thin‐layer overland flows.

Vegetation restoration model and suggestions on its optimization in rocky desertification areas of Yunnan Province

Carsologica Sinica
Yunnan is located in the center of the east-Asian karst area, one of the three largest karst areas in the world. Rocky desertification is widespread in the area, which seriously restricts the sustainable development of local social economy. In this study,

Plants Uptake Substantial Water From the Surface Organic Layer in Highly Permeable Karst Critical Zones

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Plants growing in highly permeable karst critical zones are exposed to shallow soils and rapid hydrological turnover. The surface organic layer is recognized as a key ecohydrological interface in these environments, yet its direct contribution to plant water uptake has rarely been quantified.

The Response of Rocky Desertification to the Development of Road Networks in Karst Ecologically Fragile Areas

, 2023
Frequent cross-regional communication makes road networks increasingly dense and has generated prominent human interference, thus resulting in the destruction of the landscape’s integrity and leading to changes in the functional processes of the ...

Divergent Response of Maize (Zea mays L.) Growth to Two Consecutive Winter–Spring Droughts and the Underlying Mechanisms in Southwest China

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Amid the increasing frequency of extreme climate events globally, drought poses a serious threat to food security in Southwest China, where consecutive winter–spring droughts frequently affect maize growth. However, research on the specific processes and mechanisms underlying maize's response to prolonged seasonal drought remains relatively ...

Extra Climate Benefits From Afforestation Due to Reduced Forest Fragmentation in China

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 47, 24 August 2026.
Afforestation in China reduced forest fragmentation in 2015, transforming 51.8 M ha of edge forests into interior forests. This enhanced carbon sequestration (1.4±0.2 Pg CO2e, a cooling biogeochemical effect), while reduced albedo (−0.9 Pg CO2e, a warming biophysical effect) partially offset the gain, yielding a net extra climate benefit of ...
