The Loess Plateau is located in the semi-arid part of China and is regarded as one of the most eroded areas in the world. Based on a review of relevant researches and results, we give a comprehensive summary of the status quo of the Loess Plateau, including its natural environment (e.g., geomorphology and geology, soils, water, climate, vegetation ...

Loess Deposit and Loess Landslides on the Chinese Loess Plateau
2012Chinese Loess is a wind origin deposit which records the continuous Quaternary history. In the past 30 years, the loess stratigraphy has achieved a great advantage that the absolute age and the litho-strata were well defined by dating and correlating with deep sea core isotopic curves.

Collapsible Loess on the Loess Plateau of China
1995The aeolian silt accumulation making up the Loess Plateau of North China reaches more than 250m in thickness in the Lanzhou region. Regional studies have shown that there is a clear gradient in collapsibility from the dry north-west to the moist south-east of the Plateau.

The Loess Plateau in China covers an area of ca. 640,000 km2, extending between 34° N and 40° N/100° E and 115° E, which is the middle region of China’s Yellow River. The climate of Loess Plateau is strongly influenced by latitude, longitude, and topography. It has a typical continental monsoon climate.

Agriculture on the Loess Plateau
2013The Loess Plateau is considered the cradle of agricultural cultivation in China. The climate, ecology and geography of the area have created a unique farming system on the plateau. Agricultural output in the area increased 25-fold from 1980 to 2008, with more profound increases during the last 5 years because of the adoption of modern farming ...

Morphological characteristics of soils on the Loess Plateau are products of its distinctive physical properties and behavior of water and salt in soil profiles. Various types of soils are distributed across the plateau, where rapid environmental changes occur because of long-term artificial contributors to loessial sediments. Soil health in this region

Vegetation Restoration on Loess Plateau
2013Various measures of soil and water conservation on the Loess Plateau since 1950 have increased vegetation coverage and rapidly reduced sediment load to the Yellow River to the middle Holocene level. The Grain-for-Green project, launched in 1999 as part of National Ecological Environmental Construction Plan, has strengthened afforestation/reforestation ...

Microstructural evolution of loess soils from the Loess Plateau of China
CATENA, 2019Abstract A series of laboratory tests were conducted on intact specimens of two loess soils to characterize their collapsibility, shear strength, microstructure and mineralogy. In addition, microstructural observations were performed on the specimens after various mechanical tests (oedometer-collapse tests and triaxial tests).

Multifunctional Forestry on the Loess Plateau
2017The various services/functions supplied by forests are illustrated according to their relevance to the people’s income, socioeconomic development, and environment safety, with some examples from the dry Loess Plateau in northwest China. The relationships between services of forests and between the service supply and demand are complex, not always ...
