The position of the rolling hill slope has considerable effects on soil properties and crop
growth via the spatial heterogeneity of erosion intensity, which in turn probably impacts soil …

Sloping croplands in karst areas of Southwest China usually contain a multitude of rock
outcrops with diameters larger than 25 cm. Rock outcrops and spatial location have …

Land use type and slope position have a considerable impact on soil properties and thus
likely influence soil erodibility. Soil erosion on karst hillslopes in South China is still serious …

The spatial distribution of plant, soil, and microbial carbon pools, along with their intricate
interactions, presents a great challenge for the current carbon cycle research. However, it is …

The effect and quality of reclaimed mining area land in ecologically fragile areas have been
the focus of the state, enterprises and academia. However, the research on the status quo …

Soil quality assessment at landscape level can be used as an effective tool to monitor soil
functioning and sustainability. This study aimed to develop a soil quality index (SQI) model …

Rhizosphere microbial community characteristics and ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF),
both affected by topographic factors, are closely correlated. However, more targeted …

The spatial heterogeneity of erosion can affect soil properties in agricultural areas, which
can in turn alter the soil aggregate stability and erodibility. However, it remains elusive how …

Soil salinization and water deficits are considered the primary factors limiting economic
development and environmental improvement in arid areas. However, there remains limited …

Knowledge of nutrient surpluses in soils is critical to optimize nutrient management and
minimize adverse environmental effects. We investigated the nutrient surpluses in soils in …
