Spatial patterns of leaf nutrient traits of the plants in the Loess Plateau of China
The spatial patterns of leaf nutrient traits of plants in seven sites, Yangling, Yongshou, Tongchuan, Fuxian, Ansai, Mizhi and Shenmu, standing from south to north in the Loess Plateau of China, were studied.

ABSTRACT The formation of air bubbles in the xylem, known as embolism, reduces hydraulic conductivity and can ultimately lead to catastrophic failure of a tree's water transport system. When a vessel embolises, it releases water into the surrounding xylem tissue.

Abstract Introduction Biocrusts are increasingly recognized for their contribution to soil stability, hydrology, nutrient cycling, and energy balance in drylands, yet practical field methods for assessing functional roles are limited. Existing approaches typically rely on cover estimates, taxonomic identification, or laboratory analyses, providing ...

Revegetation Impacts on the Flow Characteristics in the Loess Plateau
Revegetation has been one of the most effective nature-based solution for carbon sequestration. However, its impacts on local water resources vary across places, and is especially controversial in arid/semi-arid regions. This study analyzed spatial and temporal variability of flow characteristics from 85 catchments in the Loess Plateau (LP), an arid ...

Rhizosphere soil microbial activity under different vegetation types on the Loess Plateau, China
Severe soil and water loss has led to widespread land degradation of the Loess Plateau, China. During the past two decades, significant efforts have been made to revegetate degraded soil in the region.

Trade Sophistication and Economic Development Stages in the Context of Global Digitalization
ABSTRACT This study aims to explore the relationship between trade sophistication and economic development stages, including in the context of digitalization. We employ nonparametric, semiparametric, and parametric methods, covering the period from 2003 to 2024 across 119 countries, categorized into three income groups.

Abstract Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] varieties are categorized into different relative maturity groups (MGs) that correspond to the approximate region that the variety is best adapted. Maturity is an important trait that growers consider when deciding which varieties to plant and for breeders as a covariate to compare genotypes.

Historical changes in the environment of the Chinese Loess Plateau
Historical records from the past 2000 years indicate that the vegetative cover of the Loess Plateau has declined significantly with time. The decline in vegetative cover seems closely related to increased rates of soil erosion as well as the ...
