Morphological characteristics of soils on the Loess Plateau are products of its distinctive physical properties and behavior of water and salt in soil profiles. Various types of soils are distributed across the plateau, where rapid environmental changes occur because of long-term artificial contributors to loessial sediments. Soil health in this region

Formation of asymmetrical loess gullies in the northeastern loess plateau of China
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2021AbstractLoess gullies are the most active and changeable landform unit on the Loess Plateau of China. Under the influence of inhomogeneous internal and external forces, various gully morphologies have been identified as specific forms of asymmetrical loess gullies in the northeastern Loess Plateau. Thus, the formation mechanisms of asymmetrical gullies

Experimental study on the disintegration of loess in the Loess Plateau of China
Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment, 2018The strength and mechanical behaviour of loess are especially affected by water, and loess tends to disintegrate in the presence of water. Loess disintegration is closely related to the formation of caves, rills, and gullies on slopes and landslides. In this study, we conducted in situ tests and laboratory tests on Q3 Malan loess using self-developed ...

Agriculture on the Loess Plateau
2013The Loess Plateau is considered the cradle of agricultural cultivation in China. The climate, ecology and geography of the area have created a unique farming system on the plateau. Agricultural output in the area increased 25-fold from 1980 to 2008, with more profound increases during the last 5 years because of the adoption of modern farming ...

Analysis on hydrologic-drought characteristics of loess plateau
2010 Seventh International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery, 2010This paper analyzes hydrologic-drought characteristics from different sights, using runs theory, displacement theory, and stochastic process theory. It deals with happening, developing and diverting regularly for hydrologic-drought, and provides theoretical basis for regional water resources plan.

Formation and evolution of a loess sinkhole in the southern Chinese Loess Plateau
CATENA, 2023Sinkholes are formed by the collapse of the overlying strata or the subsidence of the ground from cracks or holes in the underlying strata, which are widely developed in the karst and loess regions over southern and northern China. These sinkholes have been explored intensively to infer their climatic and ecological significances, as well as the ...

The Lessons of the Loess Plateau
Education About Asia, 2010The Lessons of the Loess Plateau was produced, written, and directed by John Liu, an American and former CBS cameraman, who has been living in China for the past twenty-five years. It tells the amazing story of how scientists, working in collaboration with local farmers in one of the most eroded places on the planet, reversed thousands of years of ...

Baseflow estimation for catchments in the Loess Plateau, China
Journal of Environmental Management, 2019Baseflow is the portion of streamflow that originates from groundwater. It is pivotal to groundwater supply as well as the interactions between groundwater and surface water. In the Loess Plateau of China, the baseflow plays a fundamental role in sustaining the aquatic ecosystem.

Study on dew characteristics in Loess Plateau, China
2017 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2017In 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.
