Dust emission is an important corollary of the soil degradation process in arid and semi-arid
areas worldwide. Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the main terrestrial pool in the carbon cycle …

Accelerated soil erosion by water and wind involves preferential removal of the light soil
organic carbon (SOC) fraction along with the finer clay and silt particles. Thus, the SOC …

Enhancing terrestrial carbon (C) stock through ecological restoration, one of the prominent
approaches for natural climate solutions, is conventionally considered to be achieved …

Soil wind erosion has consistently been a serious ecological problem in northern China. In
recent decades, the grasslands of Inner Mongolia have suffered severe degradation due to …

Climate change and anthropogenic activities are widely considered the main factors
affecting vegetation growth. However, their relative contributions are under debate. Within …

Understanding the cause-and-effect relationship and the factor interactions between soil
organic carbon content (SOC) and environmental properties remain challenging at a …

Grazing can affect plant community composition and structure directly by foraging and
indirectly by increasing wind erosion and dust storms and subsequently influence …

Biodiversity plays a crucial role in driving multiple ecosystem functions in temperate
grasslands. However, our understanding of how biodiversity regulates the impacts of …

Inland waters are receiving increasing attention due to their importance in the global carbon
cycle. However, the dynamics of CO 2 emissions and the related mechanisms from ditches …

Dust emissions due to wind erosion have significant impacts on air quality, climate, and
biogeochemical processes. Arid and semi-arid regions in Northern China are a major …
