Terrain analysis and digital soil mapping in the Xilin river catchment,Inner Mongolia
Introduction The Xilin river catchment is located about 450 km north of Beijing in the continental Inner Mongolian steppe.The upper catchment comprises an area of roughly 3.600 km,which is exposed to heavy degradation because of overgrazing by sheep and goat.Information in terms of regional distribution of soils is scarce.For their ongoing work the Research Unit MAGIM.Matter fluxes in grasslands of Inner Mongolia as influenced by stocking rate requires a most recent basis of such information i) to link pedological information to landscape and topographical properties ii) to have information on soil texture for further investigation of landscape scale hydrological properties and erosion potential iii) and to be able to point out pedological units for modelling,scenario analysis,remote sensing campaigns and regionalization.
