Micro-topographies formed by erosion can drive seedling emergence by rebuilding micro-habitats on weathered waste dumps in northeastern China
Restoring vegetation on waste dumps is imperative because soil erosion heavily impacts these areas and creates erosion micro-topographies, including bare slopes, rills, ephemeral gullies, and deposit bodies. These micro-topographies may affect seedling emergence by forming special micro-habitats, al...
