Analyzing the dynamics of soil particle-size distributions (PSDs), soil nutrients, and erodibility are very important for understanding the changes of soil structure and quality after long-term land-use conversion. We applied multifractal Rényi spectra (Dq) and singularity spectra (f(α)) to characterize PSDs 35 years after conversions from cropland to shrubland with Caragana microphylla (shrubl...

Land application of biosolids is a beneficial-use practice whose ecological effects depend in part on hydrological effects. Biosolids were surface-applied to square 0.5-m2 plots at four rates (0, 7, 34, and 90 dry Mg ha(-1)) on each of three soil-cover combinations in Chihuahuan Desert grassland and shrubland. Infiltration and erosion were measured during two seasons for three biosolids post-ap...

Bayan District has a wavy to mountainous topography. The type of soil in the area is classified as Inceptisol, so it very susceptible erosion. An agroforestry system, with various stands perennial crops, been developed area, conservative measure support sustainability land resources. This study aims assess value erodibility Elephant foot yam-based systems five types stands, namely: Teak (A1), C...

Dodonaea viscosa is widely cultivated in the karst graben basin and crucial for recovering land after rocky desertification. However, effect of long–time D. afforestation on changes quality soil remains unclear. Soil nutrients aggregate composition can be used to evaluate beneficial effects improving functional stability. In this study, stability were investigated using cropland, 10–year, 20–ye...
