The objective of this study was to examine the trends of changes in streamflow in a watershed of the Loess Plateau, where a series of soil conservation measures were implemented since the late 1950s. Both parametric and non-parametric Mann–Kendall test were used to identify the trends in...

The objective of this study is to evaluate the potential utility of the USGS Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS) 1-degree, daily reference Evapotranspiration (ET<Subscript>0</Subscript>) products by comparing them with observed Oklahoma mesonet daily ET<Subscript>0</Subscript> over a 2 year period (2005–2006). The comparison showed a...</subscript></subscript>

Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) is a critical soil property affecting water flow and solute transport. In the Loess Plateau of China, sloping farmlands have been increasingly replaced by dam farmlands to achieve higher crop yields and more importantly to control soil erosions. It is...
