Soil desiccation occurrence an its impact on forest vegetation in the Loess Plateau of China

, 2007
Soil desiccation is a major issue limiting development and sustainability of forest vegetation in the Loess Plateau of China. Better understanding of the mechanisms of soil desiccation in the Loess Plateau can help scientists and forest managers improve ...

Characteristics of Soil Nematode Communities in Pure Populus hopeiensis Forests in the Loess Hilly Region and Their Responses to Precipitation

Agronomy
To clarify the response mechanisms of soil nematodes as bioindicators of ecosystem health to precipitation variations in loess hilly forests, this study investigated soil nematodes in pure Populus hopeiensis forests across different precipitation ...

A two‐tier, reference‐informed framework for soil health assessment: Minimum indicator sets and ecologically dynamic thresholds

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Soil health underpins crop productivity and sustainability, but current soil health assessment frameworks struggle to balance global standardization with regional dynamic ecological realism. Indicators vary widely across soils and climates, often leading to one‐size‐fits‐all thresholds that penalize producers in inherently low‐capacity soils ...

Deep‐Circulating Groundwater From the Tibetan Plateau Constructed the Loess Plateau

Geophysical Research Letters
AbstractChina's Loess Plateau (LP) is a quintessential example of a desert transitional environment characterized by a distinctive soil profile comprising of a red clay layer overlain by loess. The source of the sedimentary materials that formed the plateau, as well as the mechanism for the red clay/loess transition, are yet unexplained.

Spatio‐Temporal Assessment of Fish Biodiversity in High‐Density Cascade Dam Rivers Using Environmental DNA Metabarcoding

Biological Diversity, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 158-168, September 2026.
This study employed eDNA technology for biodiversity surveys and conducted high‐density spatiotemporal eDNA sampling to evaluate ecosystem‐scale patterns across temporal, spatial, and habitat dimensions. We identified 97 fish species from 12 orders, 29 families, and 71 genera using eDNA technology. Spatially, fish diversity indices were correlated with

Differential Elevational Diversity Between Overstory and Understory in Tropical Forests

Biological Diversity, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 169-179, September 2026.
Tropical forest overstory and understory exhibit contrasting elevational α‐diversity patterns (unimodal vs. bimodal). Community differentiation is driven by species turnover of dominant rather than rare species, highlighting the need for vertically stratified conservation across the full elevational gradient.
