Description :
In this paper, multifractal Rényi dimension was applied to characterize particle-size distribution (PSD) in soils with the same taxonomy and different land-use types. The effects of land use on the multifractal parameters were then analysed. The study was conducted on the hilly-gullied regions of the Loess Plateau, China. A Calcic Cambisol soil was sampled from 5 land-use types : woodland, shrub land, grassland, terrace farmland and abandoned slope farmland with planted trees. Discussion of the results.
