Responses of soil bacterial community structure to different artificially restored forests in open-pit coal mine dumps on the loess plateau, China

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Artificial vegetation restoration is an effective method for improving soil quality. In areas experiencing coal mine subsidence, the microbial community is essential for reconstructing the ecological balance of the soil. Studies are needed to examine how

Population Characteristics of Loess Gully System in the Loess Plateau of China

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
Gullies in the Loess Plateau of China vary in developmental stages and morphologic sizes. In this case study, in Linjialian watershed in the loess hilly region, we introduced some perspectives from population ecology to explore the population characteristics of the loess gully system.

Landslide characteristics in the Loess Plateau, northern China [PDF]

open access: yesGeomorphology, 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]

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

The hidden influence of protozoa on hydrophyte-epiphytic bacterial communities

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
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.
