DOI: 10.1016/j.catena.2018.10.020
Abstract: Abstract In the southwestern Tengger desert in northwestern China, nitrate circulation processes in the unsaturated zone and associated driving factors were studied using water chemistry and stable isotope techniques. At unvegetated sand sites, NO3− content… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.catena.2020.104846
Abstract: Abstract Valuable archives of paleoenvironmental changes are scarce in the hinterlands of deserts. Calcareous root tubes (CRTs), a form of pedogenic carbonate, are widely distributed in the hinterland of the Tengger Desert, Northwest China. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/bor.12383
Abstract: Calcareous root tubes (CRTs) contain abundant information about palaeoenvironmental conditions and have been used for palaeoenvironmental studies in the desert hinterlands of arid regions. However, as subclasses of CRTs, calcareous sheaths and rhizocretions are formed… read more here.
