Loess Thickness Variations Across the Loess Plateau of China

open access: yesSurveys in Geophysics, 2018
The soil thickness is very important for investigating and modeling soil-water processes, especially on the Loess Plateau of China with its deep loess deposit and limited water resources. A digital elevation map (DEM) of the Loess Plateau and neighborhood analysis in ArcGIS software were used to generate a map of loess thickness, which was then ...

What is the mass of loess in the Loess Plateau of China?

Science Bulletin, 2019
The Loess Plateau of China (LP) has the largest and thickest loess deposits in the world. Quantifying the amount of loess in the LP is crucial for investigating the accumulation and erosion of loess, and determining the regional soil and water resource capacity.

Provenance of loess material and formation of loess deposits on the Chinese Loess Plateau

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2002
Abstract Results of a multiple, isotopic, chemical and mineralogical analysis of loess from the three northwestern inland basins (the Junggar Basin, the Tarim Basin and the Qaidam Basin) and the Loess Plateau region of China are summarized. They suggest a qualification of the conventional views that the three northwestern basins were the important ...

Quantifying paleoprecipitation of the Luochuan and Sanmenxia Loess on the Chinese Loess Plateau

open access: yesPalaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2016
Abstract 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 ...

Proximal Supply in Loess Deposition of the Chinese Loess Plateau

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2023
AbstractPrevious studies suggest that the northeastern Tibetan Plateau has been the major source area for the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP); this contribution was used to prove that the Yellow River played a dominant role in transporting the materials from the northeastern Tibetan Plateau, making them available for the CLP.

Loess Plateau: from degradation to restoration

Science of The Total Environment, 2020
United Nations established 2021-2030 as the decade for ecosystem restoration and "prevent, halt and reverse the degradation of ecosystems worldwide". Ecosystem and land degradation are a global phenomenon. As a consequence of land degradation, in the late 1990s, the "Grain for Green Program" (GFGP) was established in Loess Plateau (China). It converted

Loess Stratigraphy and Loess Landslides in the Chinese Loess Plateau

2020
Chinese Loess is a dust deposit brought by wind from North-West desert. In the past four decades, the age and the strata of the loess stratigraphy were well defined by dating and correlating with deep sea core isotopic curves. A standard loess stratigraphic profile and the correlation among the different areas are introduced, and typical river terrace ...

The Loess Plateau

2017
The Loess Plateau is located in the semi-arid part of China and is regarded as one of the most eroded areas in the world. Based on a review of relevant researches and results, we give a comprehensive summary of the status quo of the Loess Plateau, including its natural environment (e.g., geomorphology and geology, soils, water, climate, vegetation ...

Collapsible Loess on the Loess Plateau of China

1995
The 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.
