Opposite Effects of Mineral Dust Nonsphericity and Size on Dust‐Induced Snow Albedo Reduction by Tenglong Shi, Cenlin He, Daizhou Zhang, Xuelei Zhang, Xiaoying Niu, Yuxuan Xing, Yang Chen, Jiecan Cui, Wei Pu, Xin Wang

“…Abstract We quantified the combined effects of mineral dust nonsphericity and size on snow albedo reduction using the MOPSMAP (Modeled optical properties of ensembles of aerosol particles) package and SAMDS (Spectral Albedo Model for Dirty Snow) with the consideration of dust from Sahara, Greenland, San Juan Mountains, and Tibetan Plateau. Results indicate that the dust‐induced albedo reduction decreases by up to 30% as the effective radii of dust particles increase in 1–5 μm. …”

Topographic and Edaphic Influences on the Spatiotemporal Soil Water Content Patterns in Underground Mining Regions by Yaodong Jing, Yu Chen, Jason Yang, Haoxi Ding, Hongfen Zhu

“…This study investigates the spatial and temporal patterns of SWC and its interaction with topographic and edaphic factors in coal mining and non-coal mining areas of the Chenghe watershed, located in the southeast of the Chinese Loess Plateau, which is divided by a river. Our findings revealed that the capacity to retain moisture in the top layer of coal mining areas is significantly higher (25.21%) compared to non-coal mining areas, although deeper layers exhibit lower SWC, indicating altered moisture dynamics due to underground mining disturbances. …”
