Loess Plateau: from degradation to restoration
Science of The Total Environment, 2020United 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

Loess Stratigraphy and Loess Landslides in the Chinese Loess Plateau
2020Chinese 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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

Journal of Environmental Management, 2023
Rainwater hydrochemistry is an important indicator for tracing anthropogenic input on air quality. As the fastest economically developing city in the northwestern China and the Chinese Loess Plateau, rainwater chemistry, sources of dissolved solutes, and the influence of loess dust on rainwater chemistry in Xi'an city is unclear. Inorganic ions, δD and

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.

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 of the Loess Plateau
2013Natural vegetation on the Loess Plateau has been suffering gradual degradation over a long period, owing to human activities. As a result, hardly any original vegetation remains.

Experimental study on the disintegration of loess in the Loess Plateau of China
Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment, 2018The strength and mechanical behaviour of loess are especially affected by water, and loess tends to disintegrate in the presence of water. Loess disintegration is closely related to the formation of caves, rills, and gullies on slopes and landslides. In this study, we conducted in situ tests and laboratory tests on Q3 Malan loess using self-developed ...
