A comparative analysis on the Holocene transgression intensity, as reconstructed by Sr/Ba in the WCP, and archaeological sites in the Ningshao Plain indicates that the ancestors gradually migrated to the eastern low-elevation plains and developed Neolithic rice cultivation after the transgression maximum.

This study analyzed the spatiotemporal changes of SOC in a typical agricultural region of the North China Plain from 1984 to 2019 and explored the potential for SOC sequestration. A total of 411 soil samples were collected in 1984, with subsequent sampling in 2009 (411 samples) and 2019 (181 samples). Geostatistical Sequential Gaussian Simulation (SGS) was utilized to quantify the spatiotemporal trends of SOC changes from 1984 to 2019. The SOC sequestration potential (SOC<em><sub>p</sub></em>) was estimated using the Levenberg-Marquardt and Universal Global Optimization algorithms. The results revealed a significant elevation in mean SOC from 5.84 g kg<sup>−1</sup> in 1984 to 10.64 g kg<sup>−1</sup> in 2019, with an increasing trend observed from the northwest towards the southeast.

For example, low-relief, woodland regions have slope gradients, soil types, and substrate lithologies that contrast with steeper mountainous regions prone to rock fall and debris flows. Similarly, regional variations in precipitation, earthquakes, and other impacts on landslide surfaces create regional variations in landslide properties. While the controls on landslide characteristics have been extensively studied for high-relief coastal and tectonically active regions, controls on low-relief landslides have received comparatively less attention. We focus here on a part of the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains in the US southern mid-continent to explore such characteristics of landslides and potential controls in low-relief regions. The area exhibits frequent landslides in soil-covered low-relief forested hillslopes. We evaluated the frequency-size scaling of landslides occurred during periods of different earthquake frequency and precipitation amount (pre- and post-2005). We also produced maps of landslide susceptibility based on random forest machine learning applied to remotely sensed data. We found that landslides are clustered mostly in upland hillslopes, and that small landslides dominate the area, quantified by a landslide frequency-size distribution fitting a double Pareto curve. Additionally, the overall landslide frequency, and potentially the porportion of smaller landslides relative to the larger ones, significantly increased after 2005, the period during which the area also experienced increased induced seismicity and extreme storm events. Approximately 94 % of historical landslides were within random-forest-classified high-landslide probability (probability &gt; 0.5) zones, coinciding with moderate to steep (18° ± 9°) and convergent upland slopes underlain by shale and sandstone.

The most common minerals present in all profiles were quartz, kaolinite and mica. There were also admixtures of carbonates (dolomite, calcite), feldspars (orthoclase and albite), jarosite, goethite and traces of Fe sulphides.

Although biodiversity and other factors contribute to forest productivity to varying degrees, it is unclear whether spatial scale (or plot size) influences this relationship. In this study, we analyzed the impacts of biodiversity, trait composition, structural attributes, and soil fertility on forest productivity at three scales in two temperate old-growth forests. We found that structural attributes, including basal area and stand density, were positively correlated with productivity and were consistently the strongest drivers of productivity changes in both forest types. Trait composition had a weak direct positive correlation with productivity. Soil nitrogen had positive effects on productivity, and soil moisture content had negative effects, both of which increased with increasing plot size. Different results for the effect of biodiversity on productivity were found between the two forests. In the mixed broadleaved-Korean pine forest, diversity correlated positively with productivity, and the strength of the relationship increased with increasing plot size. In contrast, in the spruce-fir valley forest, diversity had a direct positive correlation with productivity at 10 m × 10 m, no significant effect at 20 m × 20 m, and a negative correlation at 30 m × 30 m. Our results suggest that the contribution of vegetation attributes and soil fertility to forest productivity varies with scale. Despite the fact that both the niche complementarity hypothesis and the mass ratio hypothesis act simultaneously in forests, they have limited effects on productivity. Stand structural attributes play a key role in elucidating the biodiversity-productivity relationships, and they may serve as a more significant regulator of forest productivity than diversity.
