Deep‐Circulating Groundwater From the Tibetan Plateau Constructed the Loess Plateau

Geophysical Research Letters
AbstractChina's Loess Plateau (LP) is a quintessential example of a desert transitional environment characterized by a distinctive soil profile comprising of a red clay layer overlain by loess. The source of the sedimentary materials that formed the plateau, as well as the mechanism for the red clay/loess transition, are yet unexplained.

Effects of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) on soil properties in the loessial gully region of the Loess Plateau, China

, 2010
Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) has been widely planted in the Loess Plateau for soil and water conservation. The effects of black locust on soil properties has significant role in land use and ecosystem management.

Differential Elevational Diversity Between Overstory and Understory in Tropical Forests

Biological Diversity, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 169-179, September 2026.
Tropical forest overstory and understory exhibit contrasting elevational α‐diversity patterns (unimodal vs. bimodal). Community differentiation is driven by species turnover of dominant rather than rare species, highlighting the need for vertically stratified conservation across the full elevational gradient.

Synergistic effects of beneficial microbial inoculants and SMS-amendments on improving soil properties and Pinus seedling growth in degraded soils

Frontiers in Microbiology
Spent mushroom substrate (SMS) is a promising organic amendment for remediating degraded soils, yet its effectiveness is often limited by poor compost maturity and stability.

Tree Species Diversity, Canopy Height, and Soil Nutrient Availability Shape Leaf Insect Herbivory in Zhoushan Archipelago, China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study explores the relationship between plant diversity and insect herbivory in island ecosystems, specifically the Zhoushan Archipelago, China. The results show that tree species diversity positively correlates with total herbivory, as well as the herbivory of three damage types, and interactions between plant diversity, soil nutrition, and tree ...

Deep soil water storage varies with vegetation type and rainfall amount in the Loess Plateau of China

, 2018
Soil-water storage in a deep soil layer (SWSD), defined as the layer where soil water is not sensitive to daily evapotranspiration and regular rainfall events, functions as a soil reservoir in China’s Loess Plateau (LP).
