Purpose Extensive vegetation recovery has been implemented to control severe soil erosion
on the Loess Plateau, China. However, no systematic study has been done on the soil …

Aims Since the 1970s, extensive croplands were converted to forest and pasture lands to
control severe soil erosion on the Loess Plateau of China. We quantify the direct and indirect …

Rangelands of the Pampa biome, which cover regions of Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil
(176,496 km 2–2.07% of Brazilian territory and 63% of Rio Grande do Sul State territory …

No-till management systems tend to cause soil compaction in the early years of their
establishment. Soil compaction reduces crop production due to restrictions on root …

Effective stress is an important strength indicator for understanding and fundamentally
predicting soil behaviour due to mechanical disturbance. This study investigated the …

Tillage management in agricultural fields has consequences on the dynamics of the soil
structure and soil's pore functions with far reaching effects on the sustainability of cropping …

Land use, soil organic carbon content and bulk density are important factors influencing the
occurrence of soil water repellency (SWR) and water flow through the soil profile. This study …
