Southwest China is one of the largest contiguous karst areas in the world. Due to the
particularity of geological conditions, extreme rainfall events and unreasonable land use …

Abstract The **g River is a secondary tributary of the Yellow River, which flows through the
middle of the Loess Plateau in China. Severe water scarcity and soil erosion in the basin …

Abstract The runoff in Tibetan Plateau (TP) is sensitive to environmental changes, and it is
thus challenging to assess the variations and influencing factors of runoff in the context of …

Soil erosion is one of the most serious environmental issues, especially in vulnerable areas
such as the Pisha sandstone regions located in the Loess Plateau (China). In these types of …

Abstract In the Loess Plateau, gaining insights into the water storage and soil retention
functions of diverse vegetation types, especially, in the semi‐arid watersheds is crucial for …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil inorganic carbon (SIC) possess an underlying dynamic
interrelationship driven by abiotic and microbial factors with important effects on soil …

Abstract Study region The Loess Plateau, China. Study focus Land-use and rainfall
characteristics are two crucial influencing factors that affect the surface runoff and soil loss …

Soil erosion varies in space and time. As the contributing surface area increases,
heterogeneity effects are amplified, inducing scale effects. In the present study, soil erosion …

The slope-gully system, the erosion unit on the Loess Plateau, suffers from severe soil
erosion and loss of soil nutrients. Restoring vegetation can effectively reduce soil erosion …

The factors influencing soil erosion are diverse and complex. However, a comprehensive
comparative analysis of the various factors remains insufficient. By collecting, selecting and …
