Stratigraphy and lithology of the loess deposits in eastern Srem, Serbia [PDF]
, 2005 Eolian loess sediments in the eastern Srem area, the youngest Pleistocene deposits, occur either as a loess plateau, or as a slope-type of loess, formed on the slopes of the Fruška Gora mountain.

Loess Plateau storage of Northeastern Tibetan Plateau-derived Yellow River sediment [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2015 AbstractMarine accumulations of terrigenous sediment are widely assumed to accurately record climatic- and tectonic-controlled mountain denudation and play an important role in understanding late Cenozoic mountain uplift and global cooling. Underpinning this is the assumption that the majority of sediment eroded from hinterland orogenic belts is ...

A uniform isotopic and chemical signature of dust exported from Patagonia: Rock sources and occurrence in southern environments [PDF]
, 2007 Patagonia is considered to be the most important source of dust from South America that is deposited in surrounding areas, and we present here a systematic Sr and Nd isotopic study of sediment currently being exported.

Changes in the soil organic carbon balance on China’s cropland during the last two decades of the 20th century [PDF]
, 2017 Agro-ecosystems play an important role in regulating global changes caused by greenhouse gas emissions. Restoration of soil organic carbon (SOC) in agricultural soils can not only improve soil quality but also influence climate change and agronomic ...

The spatial-temporal patterns of Asian summer monsoon precipitation in response to Holocene insolation change: a model-data synthesis [PDF]
, 2014 Highlights: • Slice and transient simulations of Holocene climate change were performed. • Spatial–temporal patterns of Holocene Asian summer precipitation are investigated. • A tripole pattern of summer precipitation can be seen over monsoonal Asia.

Landslide characteristics in the Loess Plateau, northern China [PDF]
Geomorphology, 2020 Abstract Landslides play an important role in landscape evolution of the Loess Plateau, northern China, but they have not been systematically analysed across the region. The contribution to regional rates of erosion and sediment budgets is poorly known as a consequence. Co-seismic landslides are a significant natural hazard, and exacerbate the threat

Transforming the Loess Plateau of China [PDF]
Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering, 2016 This paper aims to show the importance of land consolidation in transforming the Loess Plateau of China. The paper comprehensively analyzes how over recent decades the Grain for Green Project and Gully Land Consolidation Project jointly transformed the ecology and landscape of the Loess Plateau and the livelihood of its residents.
