Differential response of plant transpiration to uptake of rainwater-recharged soil water for dominant tree species in the semiarid Loess Plateau [PDF]

open access: yesHydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2022
Establishing whether uptake of rainwater-recharged soil water (RRS) can increase plant transpiration in response to rainfall pulses requires an investigation to evaluate plant adaptability, especially in water-limited regions where rainwater is the only ...

The distribution of organic carbon fractions in a typical loess-paleosol profile and its paleoenvironmental significance [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
Background The loess-paleosol sequence on the Loess Plateau has been considered an important paleoclimatic archive to study global climatic and environmental changes in the Quaternary. So far, little attention has been paid to the characteristics of soil

Tolerable versus actual soil erosion rates in Europe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Erosion is a major threat to soil resources in Europe, and may impair their ability to deliver a range of ecosystem goods and services. This is reflected by the European Commission's Thematic Strategy for Soil Protection, which recommends an indicator ...

15N isotope tracing of nitrogen runoff loss on red soil sloping uplands under simulated rainfall conditions

open access: yesPlant, Soil and Environment, 2016
Stable isotope 15N tracer technique was used in combination with artificial rainfall simulation to study the influence of interflow and surface-flow on nitrogen (N) migration loss of soil-plant systems on typical red soil sloping uplands. This study also

Exogenous melatonin alleviates PEG-induced short-term water deficiency in maize by increasing hydraulic conductance

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Water deficiency is likely to become more frequent and intense as a result of global climate change, which may severely impact agricultural production in the world.

Enrichment of organic carbon in sediment transport by interrill and rill erosion processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Erosion and loss of organic carbon (OC) result in degradation of the soil surface. Rill and interrill erosion processes on a silt loam soil were examined in laboratory rainfall and flume experiments.
