Loess is a special granular material, and its mechanical properties are determined by the microscopic structure of granules. The undisturbed and remolded loess have different mechanical properties due to the difference in structure. In order to solve the

Are Chinese loess deposits essentially continuous? [PDF]
We conducted a paleomagnetic examination of the last glacial loess of three representative profiles along an east-west transect in the central Loess Plateau in order to assess the continuity of Chinese loess. The results show that the Xifeng and Luochuan

Loess is commonly defined as a distinct body of mainly wind-blown silt and covers c. 10% of the Earth's surface, mainly in the temperate zone. Silicate silt predominates over carbonate, clay and some fine sand, making loess a favorable soil parent ...

Deterministic processes dominate soil microbial community assembly in subalpine coniferous forests on the Loess Plateau [PDF]
Microbial community assembly is influenced by a continuum (actually the trade-off) between deterministic and stochastic processes. An understanding of this ecological continuum is of great significance for drawing inferences about the effects of ...

The hidden influence of protozoa on hydrophyte-epiphytic bacterial communities
Plants and their epiphytic microorganisms synergistically participate in biogeochemical cycling and pollutant removal in wetlands, but the assembly mechanisms of epiphytic microbial communities remain unclear.
