Bioregenerative life support systems (BLSS) are conceived of and developed so as to
provide food sources for crewed missions to the Moon or Mars. The in situ resource …

Parent material/mineralogy is widely recognized as an important soil-forming factor along
with climate, biota (vegetation), relief (drainage) and time. Bearing in mind that mineral soils …

The soil is defined differently by soil scientists, and its definition has changed over time. This
paper reviews how the definition of the soil has changed since the early 1800s by selecting …

Relationships between parent material and soil are not well understood and generally only
reported in qualitative form. We present a classification of parent material for pedologic …

厘清地质建造对土壤性质制约的作用及程度有助于建立起地质背景与生态环境之间的联系,
为地质工作服务生态文明建设提供理论支撑. 笔者以西昌地区6 种类型地质建造上发育的红壤为 …

The role of landscape topography in mediating subsurface water availability and ultimately
tree transpiration is still poorly understood. To assess how hillslope position affects tree …

Catchment travel time distributions (TTDs) are an efficient concept for summarizing the time-
varying 3D transport of water and solutes towards an outlet in a single function of a water …

Catchment travel times integrate the multitude of hydrological flow processes and provide
insights into catchment functioning. StorAge Selection (SAS) functions describe how …

Understanding near‐stream groundwater dynamics and flow directions is important for
predicting hillslope‐stream connectivity, streamflow generation, and hydrologic controls of …

A distinct boundary between unweathered and weathered rock that moves downward as
weathering proceeds—the weathering front—is explicitly or implicitly part of landscape …
