There are many controversial issues in loess studies such as natural vegetation types on the Chinese Loess Plateau during the historical periods and the spatial and temporal evolution of C3/C4 plants. Elemental carbon...
Through a gradient experiment controlling CO2 concentration and illumination intensity, the photosynthetic physiological characters of two C4 pathway plants, Setaria viridis and Pennisetum flaccidum, w...
Abundance of C3 and C4 photosynthesis plants can be inferred relatively from stable carbon isotopic composition of organic matter in soils. The samples from five sequences of the last glacial-interglacial loess-soil i...
