Quantifying paleoprecipitation of the Luochuan and Sanmenxia Loess on the Chinese Loess Plateau
Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2016Abstract Paleoprecipitation is one of the most important paleoclimatic factors for monsoon studies. Magnetic properties of the Chinese loess/paleosol sequences have been demonstrated to be controlled strongly by the mean annual precipitation (MAP). In this study, temporal variations of MAPs were systematically investigated for the Luochuan (LC) and ...

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 ...

Size and spatial distribution of loess slides on the Chinese Loess Plateau
Physical Geography, 2019The size and spatial distribution of loess slides are important for estimating the yield of eroded materials and determining the landslide risk.

Palaeoclimatic records of the loess/palaeosol sequences of the Chinese Loess Plateau
Quaternary Science Reviews, 2016Whether during past climate stages or into a progressively warming world, changes in precipitation constitute a key component of climatic change. Quantitative proxies for palaeo-precipitation are relatively rare. The magnetic properties of the windblown loess units and interbedded palaeosols of the famous Chinese Loess Plateau provide key palaeo ...

Changes in mineralogy of loess–paleosol sections across the Chinese Loess Plateau
Quaternary Research, 2011AbstractQuantitative mineralogical analysis of bulk samples and single particles was carried out on three loess sections of different local climate settings on the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP). Mineralogy, geochemistry, and single-particle petrography of loess and paleosols are relatively uniform over the CLP. However, in detail, there are mineralogical

Location, Geology and Landforms of the Loess Plateau
2013The Loess Plateau is a highland region in north-central China with average elevation about 1,200 m. It has the thickest known loess deposits in the world. Although there are several definitions in the literature for the plateau boundary and area, two definitions are the most commonly reported.

Soil erosion and management on the Loess Plateau
Journal of Geographical Sciences, 2001The Loess Plateau is well known to the world for its intense soil erosion. The root cause for river sedimentation of Yellow River (Huanghe) and its resultant “hanging river” in certain section is soil and water loss on the Loess Plateau. The Loess Plateau has a long cultivation history, hence population growth, vegetation degeneration and plugging ...
