Soil erosion is a critical environmental problem of the Loess Plateau, China. As an important project for soil and water conservation in the semi-arid environment, the Grain-for-Green extensively transformed a wide range of farmland into vegetated land after the 1980s. Yet, the effects of vegetation restoration on soil erosion reduction are not well understood. In this study, we monitored runoff and...
Implementation of the Grain-for-Green project has resulted in significantly increased vegetative cover on the Loess Plateau of China during the past few decades. The plant communities influence soil moisture recharge and usage processes, particularly the input process, which is directly related to transformation of the limited precipitation into available soil water in the semi-arid Loess Plateau...
The determination of the changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) and inorganic carbon (SIC) in the subsoil following afforestation is meaningful and necessary for assessing carbon sequestration, but such knowledge is limited. In this case study, a paired-site approach was used to determine the differences in the SOC and SIC stock in the topsoil and subsoil, respectively, between a black locust (Robinia...
