The fractal characteristics of soil grain-size in thick loess profile are closely related to its
physical and hydrological characteristics. To reveal the relationship between loess grain …

Riparian zone is an ecotone between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, where soil
aggregate stability is fundamental in supporting ecosystem functions and associated …

Spatial hydrological alterations can affect soil structural stability. Over time, forces induced
by water weaken soil aggregates and this has a negative implication to soil health. The …

Aggregate stability, playing a key role in resistance to soil erosion, has been greatly
impacted by hydrological stresses. Yet, the mechanism of soil aggregate stabilization has …

Soil aggregate stability is a key indicator of soil quality and susceptibility to water erosion.
The water level fluctuation zone (WLFZ) of Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) experiences …

Stability of soil aggregates, playing a significant role in soil quality, has been greatly
impacted by wetting-drying cycles. Yet, determinants in stabilizing soil aggregate structure …

Riparian ecosystem is structurally unstable due to the frequent disturbances from water
fluctuation. Moreover, dams on large rivers tend to trigger fundamental changes of the …

Zonation is a typical pattern of soil distribution and species assembly across riparian
habitats. Microorganisms are essential members of riparian ecosystems and whether soil …

Temporal variability in the macro-mechanics and microstructure induced by periodic water
fluctuations during reservoir operation is widespread but adverse for slip zone soils. Herein …

Aggregate is the basic unit of soil structure, which is crucial to the sustainability of soil
system functions such as structural stability and Fertility Maintenance. Three Gorges Dam …
