Characteristics and controls of solute transport under different conditions of soil texture and vegetation type in the water-wind erosion crisscross region of China's Loess Plateau.

The analysis of solute transport characteristics in soil is of great significance in understanding nutrient cycling and pollutant migration in the Earth's Critical Zone. The objective of this study was to investigate the transport characteristics and the influencing factors of Cl in soils with different textures (sandy-S and loamy-L), and covered by different vegetation types (arbor-AR, shrub-SH and grass-GR) in the water-wind erosion crisscross region of the northern Loess Plateau of China. Results showed that the initial penetration time (TS: 12-80 min), entire penetration time (TE: 75-480 min), average flow velocity in the pore (V: 0.
