Responses of Soil Profile Hydrology, Structure and Microbial Respiration to Organic Amendments Under Different Tillage Systems on the Loess Plateau by Lili Zhao, Lusheng Li, Xiangjie Chen, Yanbin Li, Jiankun Ge, Xiaowen Wang

“…We conducted a two-year field experiment to explore the effects of organic amendments, tillage and their interaction on soil microbial respiration, aggregate stability, pore parameters, and hydraulic conductivity on the Loess Plateau. Three tillage methods (conventional tillage (CT), deep tillage (DT) and no tillage (NT)) plus five fertilizer treatments (mineral fertilizer (control) alone and along with 20 t ha⁻¹ wheat straw (MWS), wheat husk (MWH), farmyard soil (MFS) and bioorganic fertilizer (MBF)) were set up as experimental treatments. …”

Evaluating livelihood resilience in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau's pastoral communities: Insights from an entropy-TOPSIS and geospatial analysis approach by Tong Li, Lizhen Cui, Zhihong Xu, Xiaoyong Cui, Yanfen Wang

“…To address the gap in evaluating herders' livelihood resilience with a comprehensive methodology, this research harnessed survey data from 758 pastoralists within the Three River Headwater Region (TRHR) on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). Augmented by focus group discussions and transect walks, we pioneered a livelihood resilience evaluation index that integrates key dimensions of buffer capacity, self-organization, and learning capacity, offering a holistic view of resilience factors. …”
