The Combined Effects of Moss-Dominated Biocrusts and Vegetation on Erosion and Soil Moisture and Implications for Disturbance on the Loess Plateau, China
Biological soil crusts (BSCs, or biocrusts) have important positive ecological functions such as erosion control and soil fertility improvement, and they may also have negative effects on soil moisture in some cases. Simultaneous discussions of the two-sided impacts of BSCs are key to the rational use of this resource. This study focused on the contribution of BSCs while combining with specific...
متن کاملRainfall Characteristics of the Liudaogou Catchment on the Northern Loess Plateau of China
The objectives of this study were to understand the rainfall characteristics of thewind-water erosion crisscross region on the northern Loess Plateau, China, to provide basisfor the studies on mitigation of soil erosion, estimation on surface water resources andlocal hydrological circle, etc. The Liudaogou Catchment with representative climatic andhydrologic conditions of wind-water erosion cri...
متن کاملBacterial Community Responses to Soils along a Latitudinal and Vegetation Gradient on the Loess Plateau, China
Soil bacterial communities play an important role in nutrient recycling and storage in terrestrial ecosystems. Loess soils are one of the most important soil resources for maintaining the stability of vegetation ecosystems and are mainly distributed in northwest China. Estimating the distributions and affecting factors of soil bacterial communities associated with various types of vegetation wi...
متن کاملAdaptional evolution of trichome in Caragana korshinskii to natural drought stress on the Loess Plateau, China
Caragana korshinskii is commonly employed to improve drought ecosystems on the Loess Plateau, although the molecular mechanism at work is poorly understood, particularly in terms of the plant's ability to tolerate drought stress. Water is the most severe limiting factor for plant growth on the Loess Plateau. The trichome is known to play an efficient role in reducing water loss through decreasi...
متن کاملArtificial Rainwater Harvesting System and the Using for Agriculture on Loess Plateau of China
Artificial rainwater harvesting system (ARHS) is a new way to increase water supply in semi-arid area, and has developed rapidly recent years in northwestern China. Not only it used in domestic supply, but also in agricultural as supply irrigation. More than 2 million water cellars have been built in Loess Plateau of China. In this paper, based on 5 years’ related experiments, field engineering...
