Fire can affect soil properties depending on a number of factors including fire severity and
soil type. Aggregate stability (AS) refers to soil structure resilience in response to external …

The dynamics of vegetation‐driven spatial heterogeneity (VDSH) and its function in
structuring runoff and sediment fluxes have received increased attention from both …

Most climate change scenarios predict a significant increase in the frequency of high
intensity rainfall events especially in the dry areas, which will increase runoff and soil …

Soil erosion exhibits special characteristics in the process of agricultural development.
Understanding the combined impacts of land use and soil property changes on soil erosion …

To evaluate the changes in the pool of organic carbon fractions, aggregate stability and
activity of enzymes, degraded red soil was amended with three different rates (0.5, 1.0 and …

Few studies have considered the effect of organic amendments on soil microbial activity and
its contributions to hydraulic conductivity under field conditions in semiarid region soils with …

Soil water erosion and shallow landslides depend on aggregate stability and soil shear
strength. We investigated the effect of vegetation on both soil aggregate stability and shear …

Mediterranean soils under heathland are often shallow, with low capacity for water storage,
and a high risk of erosion. In this context, recurrent wildfires can negatively affect their …

This study examined the changes in soil properties and soil quality 30years after cultivated
farmland was restored back to forest land in Loess Plateau, China. Specifically, organic …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is an important component of agricultural soil. Understanding the
storage of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) helps us understand how ecosystems would respond …
