Soil moisture partitioning strategies in blowouts in the Hulunbeier grassland and response to rainfall by Zhixin Bao, Limin Yuan, Limin Yuan, Limin Yuan, Zhongju Meng, Ezhen Zhang, Lei Zhu, Jinwang Liu

“…IntroductionSoil moisture and soil water retention capacity are key influencing factors for the normal growth and development of vegetation. Understanding the dynamic change characteristics of soil moisture in blowouts and soil water retention capacity is of great significance for the management of blowouts.MethodsThis study employs drying and in situ monitoring methods to select typical blowouts in different regions (sand pits, fringe zones, sand accumulation zones, and sand-grass transition zones) on the Hulunbuir Grassland. …”
