Figure 9: Examples of Mollisols (grassland soils) formed from loess. Both soils have mean annual precipitation of 450 mm. The Ustoll (a) has an ustic soil moisture regime and the Xeroll (b) has a ...

Stratified, well preserved sites preserving unambiguous geological and archeological data from which human-environmental interactions can be reconstructed, are rare. More commonly we must test our ...

What do glaciers and the Sahara Desert have in common? Both are sources of silt-size particles that interact with wind, sand, and vegetation to form loess deposits. Deflation, the lifting and removal ...

The ubiquitous vertical cracks in loess areas are one of the main factors that cause disasters in engineering projects, and the restoration of cracked loess is of great significance for disaster ...
