the rehabilitation of sandy desertified land in various dryland ecosystems by different management practices has a great potential to increase aggregate stability and improve soil quality. however, plants in general may have a different ability to sustain soil. the objective was to determine the effects of reclamation practices including haloxylon ammodendron and atriplex canescens plantation o...

The authors find the greatest value λ and the least value μ, such that the double inequality C(λa + (1-λb), λb+(1-λ)a) < αA(a, b) + (1-α)T(a,b) < C(μa + (1 - μ)b, μb + (1 - μ)a) holds for all α ∈ (0, 1) and a, b > 0 with a ≠ b, where C(a, b) = 2(a² + ab + b²)/3(a + b), A(a, b) = (a + b)/2, and T(a, b) = (a + b)/2, and T(a, b) = (2/π) ∫₀(π/2) √a²cos²θ + b²sin²θdθ denote, respectively, the centro...
