Soil properties related to soil development were measured in 6 profiles over approximately 180 years of soil development on recessional moraines of the Hailuogou Glacier, Sichuan. It is hypothesized that soil development is strictly time-dependent

This paper studies the relationship between tree ring width and density and climatic factors by the samples collected from west Sichuan Plateau, which is the modern distribution center of subalpine ever-green coniferous forest in China. The AA
. reconstructed summer temperature (June-September) from maximum latewood density of alpine pine in western Sichuan. It contributes to understand better the climate change of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Sichuan Province, even the abnormality of regional response

The study area is located in the Upper Min River (UMR) watershed, in Sichuan province, Southwest China. The AA. applied the Revised Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) to assess levels of soil loss in a Geographic Information System (GIS). They used the k-NN

vegetation types : shrubland, forest, meadow, steppe, and desert. These were used as a priori groups for discriminant analysis. The discriminant functions were then applied to a fossil pollen record from Yidun Glacial Lake near the Sichuan-Tibet border
