Historical change of soil Pb content and Pb isotope signatures of the cultural layers in urban Nanjing
The vertical change of soil properties denotes the historical change of human activities, and therefore, urban soil can be considered as a record of history of urban development. This study aimed to reconstruct the historical change of Pb content
The effect of land use/cover change on surface runoff in Shenzhen region, China
In this study, Buji River basin in Shenzhen Region was selected to analyse the effect of land use and cover change on surface runoff. Teledetection data are used. The impact of urbanization is discussed.
In Fujian province, the change in crop spectrum and land use by urbanization has resulted in 2 extreme trends in topsoil : nutrient depletion in grain-dominated regions and nutrient overloads in city suburbs. The rapid changes in land use and crop
This study examines the quantitative and qualitative changes in the past 20 years related to urban sprawl and its impact on soils in the Yangtse delta region. Some interesting information is now available about which soil types have been occupied
, urbanization-related land-use changes and their spatial variation across the country are demonstrated. Furthermore, impacts of urbanization and associated waste disposals, consequent shifts of soil utilization on areal soil quality are expatiated. China
