## Abstract Afforestation has been suggested as a means of improving soil and water conservation in northโwestern China, especially on the Loess Plateau. Understanding of the hydrological responses to afforestation will help us develop sustainable watershed management strategies. A study was conduc

## Abstract The Soil Conservation Service curve number (CN) method commonly uses three discrete levels of soil antecedent moisture condition (AMC), defined by the 5โday antecedent rainfall depth, to describe soil moisture prior to a runoff event. However, this way may not adequately represent soil
## Abstract To prevent severe soil erosion and to ensure sustainable development, the Chinese Central Government mandated in 1999 that forest cover would be significantly increased in the Loess Plateau, China. It is important to assess the subsequent impact on streamflow and its spatial distributio
## Abstract Soil erosion is a severe problem hindering sustainable agriculture on the Loess Plateau of China. Plot experiments were conducted under the natural rainfall condition during 1995โ1997 at Wangdongguo and Aobao catchments in this region to evaluate the effects of various land use, croppin
Land use/cover changes, energy budgets and hydrological processes interact in a very complicated way. It is important for us to build bridges between these systems, i.e. to make it clear how and to what degree they inยฏuence each other. In this study, a regional water deยฎcit model, which combines met
## Abstract Understanding the effects of land use change on soil properties is important for soil quality improvement and sustainable land use. In this study, six land use types including wasteland (WLD), cropland (CLD), abandoned land (ABD), artificial grassland (AGD), shrubland (SLD) and woodland
