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...

Identifying representative locations that estimate mean soil water content (SWC) for an area of interest is one of the most important applications of the concept of temporal stability but typically requires extensive sampling on multiple occasions. This study aimed to examine the feasibility of...

Basic Characteristics, Influencing Factors, and Changing Trend of China’s Water Issues -- Status quo of Water Science & Technology Development in China and Abroad -- Comprehensive Roadmap to 2050 for Water Science & Technology Development -- Foresight of China’s Water Science & Technology...

Soil texture and evaporative demand have been reported to be the main factors which influence the transpirational response to soil water deficits. However, experimental evidences are not enough. The objective of this study was to investigate the transpirational response to soil water...

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>

The development of Financial Technology (FinTech) in areas such as mobile Internet, cloud computing, big data, search engines, and blockchain technology have significantly changed the financial industry. FinTech is expected to overturn the traditional banking business model, forcing banks to...
