Photosynthesis and nutrient-use efficiency in response to N and P addition in three dominant grassland species on the semiarid Loess Plateau

Photosynthetica, 2020
Understanding the ecophysiological and nutrient-use strategies of dominant species is important for clarifying plant growth and an ecological process in their community under unbalanced N and P inputs. This study investigated effects of N and P addition [

Integrated Ecological Risk Assessment of the Agricultural Area under a High Anthropopressure Based on Chemical, Ecotoxicological and Ecological Indicators

Agriculture, 2023
Agricultural land is often located close to highly urbanised/industrialised areas and is subject to continuous anthropogenic pressure associated with the emission of many pollutants, ultimately deposited in the soil.

Substantial role of check dams in sediment trapping and carbon sequestration on the Chinese Loess Plateau

Communications Earth & Environment, 2023
Check dams on the Chinese Loess Plateau are estimated to trap and bury approximately 10.2 ± 0.6 Pg of eroded sediment and 21.6 ± 9.9 Tg of organic carbon over the past 50 years, according to large-scale field surveys and remote sensing.
