Regional effects of vegetation restoration on water yield across the Loess Plateau, China
The general relationships between vegetation and water yield under different climatic regimes are well established at a small watershed scale in the past century. However, applications of these basic theories to evaluate the regional effects of land cover change on water resources remain challenging due to the complex interactions of vegetation and climatic variability and hydrologic processes ...
متن کاملSimulating the Effect of Climate Change on Vegetation Zone Distribution on the Loess Plateau, Northwest China
A risk assessment of vegetation zone responses to climate change was conducted using the classical Holdridge life zone model on the Loess Plateau of Northwest China. The results show that there are currently ten vegetation zones occurring on the Loess Plateau (1950–2000), including alvar desert, alpine wet tundra, alpine rain tundra, boreal moist forest, boreal wet forest, cool temperate desert...
متن کاملThe potential for vegetation restoration from soil seed bank in abandoned croplands on the hilly-gullied Loess Plateau, China
The results of field survey, germination and correspondence analysis showed that the soil seed banks density ranged from 900 to 6,467 seeds m at 0-5 cm depth and 117 to 2,467 seeds m at 5-10 cm depth, with species richness of 7-14. Early successional species dominated the soil seed bank, while later successional species occurred only at low density. The similarity between soil seed bank and sta...
متن کاملChanges in soil properties with vegetation types in highland grassland of the Loess Plateau, China
The response of soil properties to vegetation types is still not well understood and the relationship between vegetation types and soil properties has not been quantified in highland grasslands. A field experiment was conducted in highland grassland of the Loess Plateau in China to study the distribution of soil properties under different vegetation. 22 plant communities totaling 17 species tha...
متن کاملVegetation deficiency in a typical region of the Loess Plateau in China
Located in the central Chinese Loess Plateau, the Jinghe River is one of the major tributaries of the Yellow River, and the river basin it inhabits is characterized by a continental climate. Considering that land degradation has been the main ecological problem in the Jinghe River Basin, there is an urgent need to scientifically explore the land degradation mechanism in order to restore natural...
