Impact of LUCC on streamflow based on the SWAT model over the Wei River basin on the Loess Plateau in China
... This result was seemingly not consistent with the signif- icant decreasing tendencies of the streamflow in the study area. The combined effects of LUCC, including forestation, terraces, grass, and dams, could explain the ...

Cumulative effects of 20 year exclusion of livestock grazing on above and belowground biomass of typical steppe communities in arid areas of the Loess Plateau, China
... Belowground biomass (roots) is an important element of soil carbon sequestration (Langley and Hungate 2003). Our results showed that belowground biomass appears to be significantly increased after long-term exclusion of ...
