Knowledge of the spatial-temporal variability of soil water content (SWC) is critical for understanding a range of hydrological processes. In this study, the spatial variance and temporal stability of SWC were investigated in a cropland-shelterbelt-desert site at the oasis-desert ecotone in the middle of the Heihe River Basin, China. The SWC was measured on 65 occasions to a depth of 2.8m at 45 locations...
This study considered the cropland-treebelt-desert system in the arid inland river basin as an entire continuum to investigate the soil water content variation and hydrological relation. For this objective, the volumetric soil water content and plant root distribution was measured to 300cm depth along a cropland-treebelt-desert site at the oasis-desert ecotone in the Heihe River Basin, China. The...
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...
Soil microorganisms are influenced by various abiotic and biotic factors at the field plot scale. Little is known, however, about the factors that determine soil microbial community functional diversity at a larger spatial scale. Here we conducted a regional scale study to assess the driving forces governing soil microbial community functional diversity in a temperate steppe of Hulunbeir, Inner Mongolia,...
