Abstract Soil erosion hinders the recovery and development of ecosystems in semiarid regions. Rainstorms, coupled with absence vegetation improper land management, are important causes soil such areas. Greater effort should be made to quantify initial processes try find better solutions for water conservation. In this research, 54 rainfall simulations were performed assess impacts patterns on a area Loess Plateau, China. Three intensities (15 mm h ‐1 , 30 60 ) six (arbors‐shrubs‐grass...
Abstract. As a key component of the Earth system, roots play role in linking Earth's lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and atmosphere. Here we combine 10 307 field measurements forest root biomass worldwide with global observations structure, climatic conditions, topography, land management soil characteristics to derive spatially explicit high-resolution (∼ 1 km) dataset, including fine coarse roots. In total, 142 ± 25 (95 % CI) Pg live dry-matter is stored belowground, representing...
Land use/cover change (LUCC) plays a key role in altering surface hydrology and water balance, finally affecting the security availability of resources. However, mechanisms underlying LUCC determination water-balance processes at basin scale remain unclear. In this study, Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model partial least squares regression were used to detect effects on components Zuli River Basin (ZRB), typical watershed Yellow Basin. general, three recommended coefficients (R² Ens...
Terracing is a widely adopted agricultural practice in mountainous regions around the world that aims to conserve soil and water resources. Soil nutrients play crucial role determining quality, particularly landscapes prone drought. They are influenced by factors such as land-use type, slope aspect, altitude. In this study, we sought examine impact of terracing on (soil organic content (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), nitrate-nitrogen (NO3–-N), ammonium (NH4+-N), phosphorus (TP), available (AP),...
Soil erosion is a major environmental concern, especially in sensitive ecosystems like the Loess Plateau of China, where certain geological and climatic circumstances exacerbate process. Terracing mulching are popular soil management strategies this region. However, their combined effects under varied rainfall intensities poorly understood. The purpose study to assess performance various terracing–mulch combinations reducing water different intensities. experimental layout included control...
In the context of global urbanization, urban flood risk in many cities has become a serious environmental issue, threatening health residents and environment. A number hydrological studies have linked flooding issues closely to spectrum spatial patterns but relatively little attention been given small-scale catchments within realm systems. This study aims explore effects small-scaled urbanized assigned with various landscape patterns. Twelve typical residential Beijing were selected as...
Imperviousness, considered as a critical indicator of the hydrologic impacts urbanization, has gained increasing attention both in research field and practice. However, effectiveness imperviousness on rainfall–runoff dynamics not been fully determined fine spatiotemporal scale. In this study, 69 drainage subareas <1 ha typical residential catchment Beijing were selected to evaluate imperviousness, under storm event with 3-year return period. Two metrics, total impervious area (TIA) effective...
Abstract The cultivation of steep slopes is a widespread practice in hilly and mountainous areas around the world. Such environments often result particular agricultural systems linked with unique local values historical cultural heritage, economy, food security. However, steep‐slope agriculture inherently exposed to slope instability processes, which are now widely aggravated due natural (e.g., growing rainfall aggressiveness) anthropogenic factors unsuitable maintenance or agronomic...
Abstract Long‐term extending cultivation activities resulted in the world's worst soil erosion on Chinese Loess Plateau (LP). By converting cropland into vegetated land, Grain for Green Project (GfGP)—the largest investment revegetation project—effectively alleviates LP. However, during GfGP implementation, positive effect of to and control has been underestimated date, hindering a comprehensive evaluation ecological restoration. Here, we evaluated across LP, analyzed dominant driver LP...
Abstract Large‐scale vegetation restoration has been conducted in China's Loess Plateau over the past several decades to control soil and water loss. However, these efforts have not followed any specific guidelines select plant species that balance twin goals of demand. In present study, we measured canopy transpiration characteristics oriental arborvitae ( Platycladus orientalis ) Chinese pine Pinus tabulaeformis ), two are commonly planted efforts, recorded input output for during growing...
Understanding the dependence of soil moisture changes following afforestation on precipitation gradient and afforested vegetation types is crucial for improving ongoing projects, to guide future restoration strategies in water-limited regions. For this study, we characterized afforestation-induced at depths 0–3.0 m across a semi-arid Loess Plateau China. A paired experiment was conducted 15 sites, where native grasslands served as baseline hydrology. The results showed that korshinsk...
