Multifunctional Forestry on the Loess Plateau

2017
The 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 ...

Study on dew characteristics in Loess Plateau, China

2017 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2017
In 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.

Microstructural evolution of loess soils from the Loess Plateau of China

CATENA, 2019
Abstract 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).

Size and spatial distribution of loess slides on the Chinese Loess Plateau

Physical Geography, 2019
The size and spatial distribution of loess slides are important for estimating the yield of eroded materials and determining the landslide risk.

Quantifying paleoprecipitation of the Luochuan and Sanmenxia Loess on the Chinese Loess Plateau

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2016
Abstract 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 ...

Palaeoclimatic records of the loess/palaeosol sequences of the Chinese Loess Plateau

Quaternary Science Reviews, 2016
Whether during past climate stages or into a progressively warming world, changes in precipitation constitute a key component of climatic change. Quantitative proxies for palaeo-precipitation are relatively rare. The magnetic properties of the windblown loess units and interbedded palaeosols of the famous Chinese Loess Plateau provide key palaeo ...
