Effects of added organic matter and water on soil carbon sequestration in an arid region
Lai, Liming; Li, Yufei; Tian, Yuan; Jiang, Lianhe; Zhao, Xuechun; Zhu, Linhai; Chen, Xi; Gao, Yong; Wang, Shaoming; Zheng, Yuanrun; Rimmington, Glyn M. (PLoS ONE, 2013-07-16)It is generally predicted that global warming will stimulate primary production and lead to more carbon (C) inputs to soil. However, many studies have found that soil C does not necessarily increase with increased plant ... -
Effects of residual hydrocarbons on the reed community after 10 years of oil extraction and the effectiveness of different biological indicators for the long-term risk assessments
Zhu, Linhai; Wang, Yongji; Jiang, Lianhe; Lai, Liming; Ding, Jinzhi; Liu, Nanxi; Li, Junsheng; Nengwen, Xiao; Zheng, Yuanrun; Rimmington, Glyn M. (Elsevier, 2015-01)The selection of certain indicators is critical to undertake ecological risk assessments of long-term oil pollution and other environmental changes. The indicators should be easily and routinely monitored, be sensitive to ... -

Soil respiration in different agricultural and natural ecosystems in an arid region
Lai, Liming; Zhao, Xuechun; Jiang, Lianhe; Wang, Yongji; Luo, Liangguo; Zheng, Yuanrun; Chen, Xi; Rimmington, Glyn M. (Public Library of Science, 2012-10)The variation of different ecosystems on the terrestrial carbon balance is predicted to be large. We investigated a typical arid region with widespread saline/alkaline soils, and evaluated soil respiration of different ... -

(Public Library of Science, 2010-10)The variation of different ecosystems on the terrestrial carbon balance is predicted to be large. We investigated a typical arid region with widespread saline/alkaline soils, and evaluated soil respiration of different ... -
Soil TPH concentration estimation using vegetation indices in an oil polluted area of eastern China
Zhu, Linhai; Zhao, Xuechun; Lai, Liming; Wang, Jian; Jiang, Lianhe; Ding, Jinzhi; Liu, Nanxi; Yu, Yunjiang; Li, Junsheng; Xiao, Nengwen; Zheng, Yuanrun; Rimmington, Glyn M. (Public Library of Science, 2013-01-16)Assessing oil pollution using traditional field-based methods over large areas is difficult and expensive. Remote sensing technologies with good spatial and temporal coverage might provide an alternative for monitoring oil ... -
Strong light inhibits germination of Artemisia sphaerocephala and A. ordosica at low temperature and its relevance to revegetation in sandy lands of Inner Mongolia, China
Lai, Liming; Zheng, Yuanrun; Bai, Hua; Yu, Yuanjiang; An, Ping; Li, Xiangjun; Rimmington, Glyn M.; Shimizu, Hideyuki (Springer Verlag, 2010-06)Artemisia sphaerocephala and A. ordosica are two dominant shrub species in Mu Us sandy land (Inner Mongolia, China) and are widely used for vegetation restoration. However, there are two different conclusions about the ...
