Theories and models used in soil hydrological sciences rely on the knowledge of the
spatially and temporally variable soil hydraulic properties, ie the water retention and …

Abstract Study Region **aoqing River Basin, Shandong Province, China Study Focus
Identifying the driving factors of temporal and spatial variation in runoff is key to water …

Infiltration of water into soil is a key process in various fields, including hydrology, hydraulic
works, agriculture, and transport of pollutants. Depending upon rainfall and soil …

Large scale land-use conversions played important role in regulating the process of soil
infiltration, and thus changing soil moisture recharge. However, how the soil properties …

Soil erosion is a threat to sustainable agricultural and regional development in karst regions.
In this study, field plot observation method was used to estimate the effects of slope gradient …

Biological soil crust communities (biocrusts) play an important role in surface hydrologic
processes in dryland ecosystems and can be dramatically altered with soil surface …

This study delivers new insights into rainfall-induced seal formation through a novel
approach in the use of X-ray Computed Tomography (CT). Up to now seal and crust …

This study aimed to investigate the formation and propagation processes of a landslide-
generated debris flow within a small catchment while considering the effects of vegetation …

Identified as essential mechanisms promoting alternative stable states, positive feedbacks
have been the focus of most former studies on the potential for catastrophic shifts in …

How the presence of biological soil crusts (BSCs) and physical soil crusts (PSCs) regulates
surface soil hydrological processes in the high-altitude alpine ecosystems is still a pressing …
