Effects of alfalfa and oatgrass on soil nutrients in newly cultivated land on the Loess Plateau, China [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSome newly cultivated land formed by “ditch and make land” on the Loess Plateau has poor soil nutrient, low fertility and unsustainable development. Medicago falcata L. and Arena sativa L. were selected as experimental subjects to investigate the effects

Vegetation Restoration Increases the Drought Risk on the Loess Plateau. [PDF]
Plants (Basel)The extensive implementation of the ‘Grain for Green’ project over the Loess Plateau has improved environmental quality. However, it has resulted in a greater consumption of soil water, and its overall hydrological effects remain highly controversial.

Genesis of Loess Particles on the Chinese Loess Plateau
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022 AbstractThe sources of the sediments in distinct areas of the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) are still disputed, starting with the particle formation in the original desert areas, as well as the neighboring river systems. The formation of loess particles in the southern CLP was investigated using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and combined material ...

Landslide characteristics in the Loess Plateau, northern China [PDF]
Geomorphology, 2020 Abstract Landslides play an important role in landscape evolution of the Loess Plateau, northern China, but they have not been systematically analysed across the region. The contribution to regional rates of erosion and sediment budgets is poorly known as a consequence. Co-seismic landslides are a significant natural hazard, and exacerbate the threat

Transforming the Loess Plateau of China [PDF]
Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering, 2016 This paper aims to show the importance of land consolidation in transforming the Loess Plateau of China. The paper comprehensively analyzes how over recent decades the Grain for Green Project and Gully Land Consolidation Project jointly transformed the ecology and landscape of the Loess Plateau and the livelihood of its residents.
