Water and wind erosion response to ecological restoration measures in China's drylands

Geoderma, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 435, P. 116514 - 116514

Published: May 12, 2023

Soil erosion is the most severe form of land degradation threatening terrestrial ecosystems globally. Drylands with fragile are particularly sensitive to soil erosion. China's drylands face threat by wind and water. Currently, more studies need be focused on water response ecological restoration measures at monthly resolution in these areas. This key understanding measures' effectiveness under changing environments. Here, we assessed from 2001 2020 using G2 model revised equation (RWEQ). The Sequential linear regression slopes (SeRGS) explored intensities. We also discuss mitigation benefits two measures, afforestation grassland restoration. results showed that mild (47.35%) slight (58.76%). Water increased between 2020, while decreased. At level, a higher rate occurred April June February March, respectively. dominated 50.64% drylands, was critical 47.88%.

Disparities in soil and water conservation functions among different forest types and implications for afforestation on the Loess Plateau

Ecological Indicators, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 155, P. 110935 - 110935

Published: Sept. 13, 2023

Afforestation is widely acknowledged as an effective approach for enhancing ecological conditions. Considering the challenging environment on Loess Plateau, prioritizing soil and water conservation functions in stands crucial. The study aimed to ascertain future development direction of forestry Plateau by examining two representative forest types: planted (Robinia pseudoacacia pure Pinus tabulaeformis forest), natural secondary (a mixed Quercus liaotungensis Populus davidiana). assessment centered types, encompassing function (rainfall distribution changes multi-year moisture storage (0–200 cm)), (soil physicochemical properties), understory plant diversity stability. results indicated that forests outperformed terms effectively converting more precipitation into moisture, reducing runoff, maintaining higher storage. Additionally, exhibited superior compared forests, characterized porosity nutrient properties. variation community structure between shrub herbaceous layers was significant among different than within each (P < 0.05). Natural herb biodiversity interspecific repeatability forests. Therefore, are a suitable type considering conditions silvicultural objectives Plateau. To enhance quality afforestation, it recommended adopt near-natural planting patterns replicate environmental For instance, actively creating emulate tree species composition gradually dependence single dominant species. Furthermore, arborous litter had direct substantial influence layers. Foresters should prioritize regulating stand structure, such increasing canopy variability, stands. they protect fulfill its role quality.
