Loess Thickness Variations Across the Loess Plateau of China

Surveys in Geophysics, 2018
The soil thickness is very important for investigating and modeling soil-water processes, especially on the Loess Plateau of China with its deep loess deposit and limited water resources. A digital elevation map (DEM) of the Loess Plateau and neighborhood analysis in ArcGIS software were used to generate a map of loess thickness, which was then ...

Provenance of loess material and formation of loess deposits on the Chinese Loess Plateau

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2002
Abstract Results of a multiple, isotopic, chemical and mineralogical analysis of loess from the three northwestern inland basins (the Junggar Basin, the Tarim Basin and the Qaidam Basin) and the Loess Plateau region of China are summarized. They suggest a qualification of the conventional views that the three northwestern basins were the important ...

Loess Plateau: from degradation to restoration

Science of The Total Environment, 2020
United Nations established 2021-2030 as the decade for ecosystem restoration and "prevent, halt and reverse the degradation of ecosystems worldwide". Ecosystem and land degradation are a global phenomenon. As a consequence of land degradation, in the late 1990s, the "Grain for Green Program" (GFGP) was established in Loess Plateau (China). It converted

Proximal Supply in Loess Deposition of the Chinese Loess Plateau

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2023
AbstractPrevious studies suggest that the northeastern Tibetan Plateau has been the major source area for the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP); this contribution was used to prove that the Yellow River played a dominant role in transporting the materials from the northeastern Tibetan Plateau, making them available for the CLP.

Loess Stratigraphy and Loess Landslides in the Chinese Loess Plateau

2020
Chinese Loess is a dust deposit brought by wind from North-West desert. In the past four decades, the age and the strata of the loess stratigraphy were well defined by dating and correlating with deep sea core isotopic curves. A standard loess stratigraphic profile and the correlation among the different areas are introduced, and typical river terrace ...
