Response of Soil Respiration to Snowfall in a Kubuqi Salix Plantation Forest of During Freeze-thaw Period by WANG Jixuan, LAN Xiaozhen, PEI Zhiyong, ZHANG Junyao, WANG Xinping, LI Ying, WANG Haichao, SUN Xiaotian, SUN Kai

“…[Conclusion] Snowfall in winter can provide water for vegetation growth in early spring, and it regulates the carbon budget in arid and semi-arid regions; stubble levelling and land preparation can impede the release of carbon during the freeze-thaw period in arid and semi-arid areas and indirectly slow down the loss of carbon from the soil, thus contributing to the regulation of the carbon budget of the ecosystem.…”

HOTSED: A new integrated model for assessing potential hotspots of sediment sources and related sediment dynamics at watershed scale by Manuel La Licata, Alberto Bosino, Seyed Hamidreza Sadeghi, Mattia De Amicis, Andrea Mandarino, Andrea Terret, Michael Maerker

“…Furthermore, we computed Structural Sediment Connectivity (STC) and the Potential for Sediment Transport (PST) by combining terrain and hydrological parameters, vegetation roughness, and rainfall erosivity. Afterwards, PSS, STC, and PST components are integrated through a raster-based calculation method yielding the HOTSED model. …”

Global digital elevation model (GDEM) product generation by correcting ASTER GDEM elevation with ICESat-2 altimeter data by B. Li, B. Li, B. Li, B. Li, H. Xie, H. Xie, S. Liu, Z. Ye, Z. Hong, Q. Weng, Q. Weng, Q. Weng, Y. Sun, Q. Xu, X. Tong

“…The results from the validation comparison show that the elevation accuracy of IC2-GDEM is evidently superior to that of the ASTER GDEM product: (1) the RMSE reduction ratio of the corrected GDEM elevation is between 16 % and 82 %, and the average reduction ratio is about 47 %; and (2) from the analysis of the different topographies and land covers, this error reduction is effective even in areas with high topographic relief (<span class="inline-formula">&gt;15<i>°</i></span>) and high vegetation cover (<span class="inline-formula">&gt;60 %</span>). …”
