Estimating the runoff response from hillslopes treated with soil and water conservation structures in the semi-arid Ethi...
Planning and management of water resources is crucial to enhance agricultural productivity and ensure food security in drylands. For this, adaptable and reliable runoff prediction models are urgently needed to support water harvesting and irrigation development. In this study we explored the potential of the runoff Curve Number (CN) method to estim...
Sown alfalfa pasture decreases grazing intensity while increasing soil carbon: Experimental observations and DNDC model ...
Published in Frontiers in Plant Science
Introduction Grasslands are the most important land use in China and have experienced extensive degradation in the past few decades due to overgrazing. However, regionally viable solutions to grazing intensity alleviation remained elusive to date. Methods Here, we evaluated the grazing intensity effects of sown alfalfa pastures in northern China us...

Towards robust smart data-driven soil erodibility index prediction under different scenarios
Soil erosion is a major cause of damage to agricultural lands in many parts of the world and is of particular concern in semiarid parts of Iran. We use five machine learning techniques-Random Forest (RF), M5P, Reduced Error Pruning Tree (REPTree), Gaussian Processes (GP), and Pace Regression (PR)-under two scenarios to predict soil erodibility in t...
How soil erosion and runoff are related to land use, topography and annual precipitation: Insights from a meta-analysis ...
We compiled an extensive database of erosion and runoff measurements on erosion plots under natural rainfall in China. We used this database to analyse how soil loss by sheet and rill erosion and runoff in China were affected by land use, slope gradient, slope length and mean annual precipitation. Our results show that land use dominates the variat...
Soil erosion modelling: A bibliometric analysis.
...
Published in Environmental research
Soil erosion can present a major threat to agriculture due to loss of soil, nutrients, and organic carbon. Therefore, soil erosion modelling is one of the steps used to plan suitable soil protection measures and detect erosion hotspots. A bibliometric analysis of this topic can reveal research patterns and soil erosion modelling characteristics tha...
Climate change versus land-use change : what affects the ecosystem services more in the forest-steppe ecotone?
Spatiotemporal variation of agroecosystem service trade-offs and its driving factors across different climate zones
Spatiotemporal characteristics of the trade-off among ecosystem services and its mechanism have been extensively studied. However, studies on the difference in spatiotemporal variation of ecosystem services trade-offs in various climate zones under climate change are limited. This study aims to explore the spatiotemporal characteristics and driving...
