Influences of conservation measures on runoff and sediment yield in different intra-event-based flood regimes in the Chabagou watershed

Scientific Reports, 2021
The Loess Plateau in China has suffered severe soil erosion. To control soil erosion, extensive conservation measures aimed at redistributing rainfall, hindering flow velocity and intercepting sediment were implemented on the Loess Plateau. To accurately

Effects of hydrophobicity on splash erosion of model soil particles by a single water drop impact [PDF]

, 2013
Raindrop impact can be a major contributor to particle mobilization for soils and other granular materials. In previous work, water repellent soils, comprised of hydrophobic particles, have been shown to exhibit greater splash erosion losses under ...

Single-Species Artificial Grasslands Decrease Soil Multifunctionality in a Temperate Steppe on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

Agronomy, 2021
Artificial grasslands have been regarded as an effective method to improve grass production and quality, especially on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. Soil ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) plays an important role in sustainable regional development. However,

Prediction of aboveground grassland biomass on the Loess Plateau, China, using a random forest algorithm

Scientific Reports, 2017
Grasslands are an important component of terrestrial ecosystems that play a crucial role in the carbon cycle and climate change. In this study, we collected aboveground biomass (AGB) data from 223 grassland quadrats distributed across the Loess Plateau ...
