Comprehensive analysis of the influence of loess structure on strength on the Loess Plateau, China. [PDF]

PLoS One
This study examines the influence of loess structure on strength by selecting three representative regions of the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi as the research area. Malan loess serves as the test subject, and in-situ direct shear tests, particle flow modeling, and theoretical analysis are employed to investigate the impact of loess structure on ...

Identification of priority areas for afforestation in the Loess Plateau region of China

Ecological Indicators, 2022
China has led global greening processes over recent decades, however, a series of negative impacts have inevitably emerged in some areas, especially on the Loess Plateau. While the potential for afforestation of the Loess Plateau has been identified, the

Genesis of Loess Particles on the Chinese Loess Plateau

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
AbstractThe sources of the sediments in distinct areas of the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) are still disputed, starting with the particle formation in the original desert areas, as well as the neighboring river systems. The formation of loess particles in the southern CLP was investigated using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and combined material ...

Effects of AMF inoculation on the eco-physiological characteristics of Imperata cylindrica under differing soil nitrogen conditions

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play a key role in terrestrial ecosystems, while the ecological restoration application of AMF in mining areas has been progressively gaining attention.

Ecological Processes of Bacterial and Fungal Communities Associated with Typha orientalis Roots in Wetlands Were Distinct during Plant Development

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Root-associated microbiomes are essential for the ecological function of the root system. However, their assembly mechanisms in wetland are poorly understood.

Drought-resistant trait of different crop genotypes determines assembly patterns of soil and phyllosphere microbial communities

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Crop microbiomes are widely recognized to play a role in crop stress resistance, but the ecological processes that shape crop microbiomes under water stress are unclear.

Dynamics Relationship of Phyllosphere and Rhizosphere Bacterial Communities During the Development of Bothriochloa ischaemum in Copper Tailings

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Copper mining and the byproducts associated with the industry have led to serious pollution in the Loess Plateau of China. There is a potential in improving the ecological restoration efficiency of such degraded land through combining microbial and plant

Predation has a significant impact on the complexity and stability of microbial food webs in subalpine lakes

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Microbial food webs are drivers of material circulation and energy flow in lake ecosystems. The structural shifting of microbial food webs has important implications for the function of lake ecosystems.

Deterministic processes dominate soil microbial community assembly in subalpine coniferous forests on the Loess Plateau [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
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 ...
