Effects of Vegetation Restoration on Soil Infiltration and Runoff in the Gully Regions on the Loess Plateau by MA Xueyan, MU Xingmin, WANG Shuangyin, BAI Yungang, NIU Fangpeng

“…[Results] (1) Vegetation restoration significantly increased the values of soil infiltration characteristics and capacity, with the order of artificial forest > natural grassland > corn farmland. (2) Compared to bare ground, grassland increased the transformation of rainfall into soil storage, reduced surface runoff, and led to the appearance of multiple layers of interflow. (3) Compared to bare ground, grassland showed more rapid changes in soil moisture content, richer runoff components, and less runoff volume. (4) When the intensity of rainfall on bare ground was much greater than the infiltration capacity of the land, surface runoff would be formed rapidly, and the amount of infiltration would be small, and there was a shallow and relatively impermeable layer in naturally restored grassland, and there was a big difference between the infiltration capacity of the upper and lower soil layers, so as to form a loamy mid-stream. …”

Preliminary Results of the Kuznetsk Coal Basin Cover Deposits Radon Hazard Assessment by Timofey Leshukov, Konstantin Legoshchin, Elizaveta Baranova, Aleksey Larionov

“…Our study shows that local variations in the physical properties of the soil are insignificant and do not have a significant effect on the RAC in the soil gas of the Kuznetsk coal basin, with the exception of soil moisture. High values of RAC in the territory considered as conditionally background, in the absence of pre-Cenozoic faults, suggest other causes (the presence of the latest Neogene–Quaternary faults, high concentrations of ²²⁶Ra, or other insufficiently studied causes). …”
