Grasslands across the world are being degraded due to the impacts of overgrazing and
climate change. However, the influences of grassland degradation on carbon (C), nitrogen …

Soil structure (eg aggregation) has been recognized as a key element in the stabilization of
soil organic matter. While aggregate bre akdown is assumed to expose the enclosed soil …

Soil degradation by concentrated runoff and soil erosion induces major environmental and
economic damages, notably in agricultural areas under temperate climates. The use of …

Rainfall simulation is a versatile and widely-used research tool. It confers control and
convenience to the complex task of building an understanding of landsurface hydrologic and …

Land degradation is recognized as a main environmental problem that adversely depletes
soil organic carbon (SOC) and nitrogen (SON) stocks, which in turn directly affects soils, their …

Soil erosion and land degradation are serious problems in tropical Africa, especially Sub-
Saharan Africa, where they are widely recognized as more serious problems than in non …

Worldwide concerns with global change and its effects on our future environment require an
improved understanding of the impact of land cover changes on the global C cycle …

Precipitation infiltration is the most important process for soil water supply of vegetation in
the arid regions. Higher infiltration rate is advantageous for vegetation growth and …

Erosion and sediment transport processes are strongly dependent on the spatial scale and
land use. The objective of this study is to analyse the effects of slash and burn of vegetation …

Abstract Grassland in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) provides tremendous carbon (C)
sinks and is the important ground for grazing. Grassland degradation, the loss of plant …
