Root Characteristics and Water Erosion-Reducing Ability of Alpine Silver Grass and Yushan Cane for Alpine Grassland Soil Conservation

نویسندگان

چکیده

In Taiwan, intensive forest fires frequently cause serious degradation, soil erosion and impacts on alpine vegetation. Post-fire succession often induces the substitution of by grassland. Alpine silver grass (Miscanthus transmorrisonensis Hay.) Yushan cane (Yushania niitakayamensis (Hay.) Keng f.) are two main endemic species emerging post-fire These play a major role in recovery vegetation conservation However, their root traits, mechanical properties water erosion-reducing ability have still not been well studied. present study, characteristics were examined using complete excavation method. Root estimated utilizing uprooting test tensile test, hydraulic flume experiments performed to investigate 8-month-old plants. The results show that architecture system belongs fibrous system, while has sympodial-tufted rhizomes with system. reveal relative grass, remarkably larger collar diameter, higher biomass, volume, density, tissue density. Furthermore, resistance is notably than grass. strength significantly cane. Additionally, lower detachment rates Collectively, these findings clearly superior thus more suitable for

Erosion by an Alpine glacier.

Assessing the impact of glaciation on Earth's surface requires understanding glacial erosion processes. Developing erosion theories is challenging because of the complex nature of the erosion processes and the difficulty of examining the ice/bedrock interface of contemporary glaciers. We demonstrate that the glacial erosion rate is proportional to the ice-sliding velocity squared, by quantifyin...

Comparison of Soil Microbial Biomass and Enzyme Activities among Three Alpine Grassland Types in Northern Tibet

Soil microbial biomass and enzyme activities have an important influence on nutrient cycling. The temporal variation in soil microbial biomass C, N, and enzyme activities during the growing season were determined under three different alpine grasslands in Northern Tibet. The results showed that soil microbial biomass C, and N contents and enzyme activities of the alpine meadow (AM) and the alpi...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
