Land degradation has become a catastrophic global environmental issue. The current status of land and changing trends remain unclear on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). This study integrated an Optimal Degradation Index (OLDI) spatial footprints three pathways (i.e., salinization, desertification soil erosion) to investigate risks from 2001 2021 QTP. results showed that improvements were dominant QTP compared degradation, accounting for 18.83% whole plateau. regions with mainly distributed...
Abstract Gully erosion is considered to be a severe land degradation process around the world. The combined effects of tillage methods and topographic variation on gully are poorly understood. This study investigated permanent gullies in three farmland, geomorphic areas black soil region Northeastern China: low mountains hills, tableland, rolling hill areas. Cross‐sectional measurements were used obtain estimates volumetric loss from gullies. Digital contour maps remote sensing images...
ABSTRACT Creep and saltation are the primary modes of surface transport involved in fluid‐like movement aeolian sands. Although numerous studies have focused on saltation, few creep, primarily because experimental difficulty limited amount theoretical information available this process. Grain size its distribution characteristics key controls sand their masses. Based a series wind tunnel experiments, paper presents new data regarding flux, obtained using flat sampler, creeping mass,...
Abstract Soil wind erosion is one of the key earth surface processes in arid and semi‐arid regions. not only leads to land desertification but also serves as an important source fine particulate matter atmospheric environment. Accurate assessment soil its temporal spatial distributions critical for planning implementing conservation measures. As factor control, vegetation coverage has been included almost all major models. The traditional models, however, usually overestimate rate because...
Abstract Climatic reconstruction from peat deposits is an important aspect of Quaternary research. Previous studies the peatlands in Mu Us Desert northern China have focused on processes paleoclimatic evolution, but history peatland development remains unclear due to absence comparative studies. Here we present a synthesis available records documenting within since last deglaciation. We combine profiles two new sites with previously published results 12 sites. Our aim reconstruct temporal...
Abstract Our understanding of desertification on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is limited. This study aims to fill knowledge gap by examining and underlying climatic factors between 1971–2015 TP using a dynamic vegetation model observation‐based gridded climate data. Four including precipitation, days with above threshold wind, simulated fractional plant coverage soil moisture (SM) in 0–40 cm depth are employed for spatiotemporal analyses. Simulated functional types SM evaluated against...
