What is the mass of loess in the Loess Plateau of China?

Science Bulletin, 2019
The Loess Plateau of China (LP) has the largest and thickest loess deposits in the world. Quantifying the amount of loess in the LP is crucial for investigating the accumulation and erosion of loess, and determining the regional soil and water resource capacity.

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 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 ...

Soil erosion and management on the Loess Plateau

Journal of Chinese Geography, 2001
The Loess Plateau is well known to the world for its intense soil erosion. The root cause for river sedimentation of Yellow River (Huanghe) and its resultant “hanging river” in certain section is soil and water loss on the Loess Plateau. The Loess Plateau has a long cultivation history, hence population growth, vegetation degeneration and plugging ...

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.
