The global sediment cycle is a fundamental feature of the Earth system, balancing
competing factors such as orogeny, physical–chemical erosion and human action. In this …

China's Loess Plateau is both the largest and deepest loess deposit in the world, and it has
long been one of the most severely eroded areas on Earth. Since the 1970s, numerous soil …

Abstract The Yellow River Basin (YRB), which has faced severe ecological issues since
