Formation of asymmetrical loess gullies in the northeastern loess plateau of China
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2021AbstractLoess gullies are the most active and changeable landform unit on the Loess Plateau of China. Under the influence of inhomogeneous internal and external forces, various gully morphologies have been identified as specific forms of asymmetrical loess gullies in the northeastern Loess Plateau. Thus, the formation mechanisms of asymmetrical gullies

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 ...

Formation and evolution of a loess sinkhole in the southern Chinese Loess Plateau
CATENA, 2023Sinkholes are formed by the collapse of the overlying strata or the subsidence of the ground from cracks or holes in the underlying strata, which are widely developed in the karst and loess regions over southern and northern China. These sinkholes have been explored intensively to infer their climatic and ecological significances, as well as the ...

Analysis on hydrologic-drought characteristics of loess plateau
2010 Seventh International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery, 2010This paper analyzes hydrologic-drought characteristics from different sights, using runs theory, displacement theory, and stochastic process theory. It deals with happening, developing and diverting regularly for hydrologic-drought, and provides theoretical basis for regional water resources plan.

The Lessons of the Loess Plateau
Education About Asia, 2010The Lessons of the Loess Plateau was produced, written, and directed by John Liu, an American and former CBS cameraman, who has been living in China for the past twenty-five years. It tells the amazing story of how scientists, working in collaboration with local farmers in one of the most eroded places on the planet, reversed thousands of years of ...

Baseflow estimation for catchments in the Loess Plateau, China
Journal of Environmental Management, 2019Baseflow is the portion of streamflow that originates from groundwater. It is pivotal to groundwater supply as well as the interactions between groundwater and surface water. In the Loess Plateau of China, the baseflow plays a fundamental role in sustaining the aquatic ecosystem.

Study on dew characteristics in Loess Plateau, China
2017 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2017In fact, in arid environment such as desert, dew plays an important role to some vegetation and ecosystem[1]. Dew can help the vegetation restore from excessive water loss state[2]. In addition, dew is an important water source for some microorganism[3], insects and small animals.

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 ...

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 ...

Quantifying paleoprecipitation of the Luochuan and Sanmenxia Loess on the Chinese Loess Plateau
Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2016Abstract Paleoprecipitation is one of the most important paleoclimatic factors for monsoon studies. Magnetic properties of the Chinese loess/paleosol sequences have been demonstrated to be controlled strongly by the mean annual precipitation (MAP). In this study, temporal variations of MAPs were systematically investigated for the Luochuan (LC) and ...
