This research project was designed to study the residues of OCPs (organochlorine pesticides) in the sediments of the Meijiang River Basin. Samples from the Meijiang River Basin were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry after being pretreated by Soxhlet extraction, and their com ...
The purpose of this study is to disclose the water resource risks influenced by climate extremes and human activities and therefore to propose a management strategy for the river basins (Lancang and Jinsha rivers) in the Hengduan Mountains, Southwest China. In this study, a slope changing ...
Based on the optimized random forest (ORF) model proposed in our research, data of the Landsat-OLI, Landsat-TM images, and digital elevation model were used by us to obtain the land cover maps during several periods in the Napahai Basin. Model performance testing results show that producer ...
This paper aims to analyze the effects of precipitation and anthropogenic activity on hydrologic features in Yanhe River so as to provide support for regional water management and evaluation of water and soil conservation measures. Thiessen Polygon was created to calculate mean values of watershed, ...
Different proxies have been used to investigate Quaternary paleoclimate change. Here, we used weathering of calcium nodules in paleosols on China's Loess Plateau as a proxy for Quaternary paleoclimate changes to provide an alternative indicator of these changes. Paleosol and carbonate nodules w ...
This study focuses on two genotypes of cotton and explores different factors that were able to affect the release of different forms of potassium (K) in the rhizosphere by considering a biogeochemical process integrating plants, soils, and microorganisms. The study indicated that both genotypes of ...
The objective of this study is to assess water environment and ecological risks from heavy metals of soils in Hanjiang River Basin, China. We carried out investigations on the changing patterns of spatiotemporal distribution of soil chemical elements, and further identified the changing behaviors, ...
Abstract The purpose of this study is to determine critical environmental parameters of soil K availability and to quantify those contributors by using a proposed path model. In this study, plot experiments were designed into different treatments, and soil samples were collected and further a ...
