Collapsible Loess on the Loess Plateau of China
1995The aeolian silt accumulation making up the Loess Plateau of North China reaches more than 250m in thickness in the Lanzhou region. Regional studies have shown that there is a clear gradient in collapsibility from the dry north-west to the moist south-east of the Plateau.

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

The Loess Plateau in China covers an area of ca. 640,000 km2, extending between 34° N and 40° N/100° E and 115° E, which is the middle region of China’s Yellow River. The climate of Loess Plateau is strongly influenced by latitude, longitude, and topography. It has a typical continental monsoon climate.

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 ...

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

Microstructural evolution of loess soils from the Loess Plateau of China
CATENA, 2019Abstract A series of laboratory tests were conducted on intact specimens of two loess soils to characterize their collapsibility, shear strength, microstructure and mineralogy. In addition, microstructural observations were performed on the specimens after various mechanical tests (oedometer-collapse tests and triaxial tests).

Journal of Environmental Management, 2023
Rainwater hydrochemistry is an important indicator for tracing anthropogenic input on air quality. As the fastest economically developing city in the northwestern China and the Chinese Loess Plateau, rainwater chemistry, sources of dissolved solutes, and the influence of loess dust on rainwater chemistry in Xi'an city is unclear. Inorganic ions, δD and

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.

Multifunctional Forestry on the Loess Plateau
2017The various services/functions supplied by forests are illustrated according to their relevance to the people’s income, socioeconomic development, and environment safety, with some examples from the dry Loess Plateau in northwest China. The relationships between services of forests and between the service supply and demand are complex, not always ...
