DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8113
Abstract: Abstract The composition of vegetation on a slope frequently changes substantially owing to the different micro‐environments of various slope aspects. To understand how the slope aspect affects the vegetation changes, we examined the variations in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11368-017-1855-5
Abstract: PurposeThe crisscross region of the Chinese Loess Plateau is affected from both wind and water erosion, and their relative contributions remain unclear. A combination analysis of 137Cs inventories, surface soil sample properties, and the local… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2023.1092821
Abstract: Slope aspect can cause environmental heterogeneity over relatively short distances, which in turn affects plant distribution, community structure, and ecosystem function. However, the response and adaptation strategies of plants to slope aspects via regulating their… read more here.
