Soils harbour high levels of microbial diversity, underpinning their ability to provide key soil
functions and ecosystem services. The extreme variety of soil microbial life is often …

How microbial communities respond to soil aggregation and rill erosion resistance has
rarely been addressed. Such a knowledge gap hinders the practice of guiding sustainable …

Recently, soil contamination by heavy metals in farmland has become a severe problem. In
this study, a novel assessment method of heavy metal pollution based on reactive heavy …

Watershed management initiatives are designed to conserve essential soil, water, and
vegetation resources while ensuring production and agricultural sustainability. As a result …

Soil particle composition is one of the main physical properties of soil that affects soil fertility,
and the fractal dimension of soil particle size distribution (PSD) can be used to quantitatively …

Natural restoration age of abandoned farmlands has significant effects on near soil surface
characteristics and thus affects soil erodibility. However, few studies have been conducted to …

Soil physical properties and soil organic carbon (SOC) are considered as important factors
of soil quality. Arable land, grassland, and forest land coexist in the saline-alkali reclamation …

Simulating soil erosion variation with a temporal land use database reveals long-term
fluctuations in landscape patterns, as well as priority needs for soil erosion conservation …

The adjustment of land use can alter the near soil surface characteristics and thus likely
affects soil erodibility. However, few studies have been carried out to assess the variations in …

Fractal dimension analyses of PSD and soil porosity were determined for the 0–20cm soil
layer representing different plant communities and land management in the Yimeng …
