DOI: 10.17221/107/2020-swr
Abstract: Soils that contain rock fragments (particles > 2 mm in diameter) are distributed all over the world. The presence of these small rock fragments can have a great impact on soil water retention properties, as… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19020648
Abstract: Soil erosion is serious in China—the soil in plateau and mountain areas contain a large of rock fragments, and their content and distribution have an important influence on soil erosion. However, there are still no… read more here.
