Substantial role of check dams in sediment trapping and carbon sequestration on the Chinese Loess Plateau

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment, 2023
Check dams on the Chinese Loess Plateau are estimated to trap and bury approximately 10.2 ± 0.6 Pg of eroded sediment and 21.6 ± 9.9 Tg of organic carbon over the past 50 years, according to large-scale field surveys and remote sensing.

Vectorized dataset of silted land formed by check dams on the Chinese Loess Plateau

open access: yesScientific Data
Check dams on the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) have captured billions of tons of eroded sediment, substantially reducing sediment load in the Yellow River. However, uncertainties persist regarding the precise sediment capture and the role of these dams in

Effects of Biocrusts on Hydrodynamic Characteristics of Slope Flow in Hilly Regions of Loess Plateau

open access: yesShuitu baochi tongbao, 2022
[Objective] The effects of biological soil crusts (biocrusts) on the hydrodynamic characteristics of slope flow were investigated in order to provide theoretical guidance for the study of biocrusts anti-erosive mechanism in hilly regions of the Loess ...

Self‐Cleaning Sensor Surfaces for Long‐Term Environmental Monitoring

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Long‐term use of unattended outdoor sensors without soiling or biofouling is achieved through generation of a micro‐ and nanorough cuvette surface by combing hydrophobic nanoparticles with fluorinated polymers, crosslinked and surface‐attached through CHic chemistry. The coating demonstrates self‐cleaning behavior and prolonged outdoor stability, which

Entropy‐Driven Design of Low‐Melting‐Point Alloys via Compositionally Complex Strategy

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Conventional low‐melting‐point alloys (LMPAs) are limited by a narrow compositional space and inherent property trade‐offs. This review presents an entropy‐driven design strategy that overcomes these limitations, ushering in a new class of low‐melting‐point compositionally complex alloys (LMCCAs).

Fabrication Routes for Ionic Conducting Fiber Strain Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Ionic conducting fiber strain sensors (ICFSs) offer compliant, textile‐integrable sensing. Thus far, the commercialization of ICFSs has been constrained by fiber fabrication routes. This review provides a fabrication‐centric analysis of ICFSs correlating processing strategies with material properties and scalability.

Nitrogen Addition Changes the Stoichiometry and Growth Rate of Different Organs in Pinus tabuliformis Seedlings

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Background: Nitrogen (N) deposition could influence plant stoichiometry and growth rate and thus alter the structure and function of the ecosystem. However, the mechanism by which N deposition changes the stoichiometry and relative growth rate (RGR) of ...
