FAULTING IN THE LITHOSPHERE: THE 35TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE IRKUTSK SCHOOL OF TECTONOPHYSICS by S. I. Sherman, K. Zh. Seminsky, S. A. Bornyakov

“…Tectonophysics from Irkutsk published the first map of the state of stresses of the Baikal rift zone and proposed new concepts for studying crustal stresses by structural geological methods. Based on such concepts, a new map of the state of stresses of the upper lithosphere was constructed.Studies of faulting included researches of areas around virtual axes of faults and variations of sizes of such areas, and a concept of an area of dynamic influence of large lithospheric faults was proposed. …”

Response of Soil Respiration to Snowfall in a Kubuqi Salix Plantation Forest of During Freeze-thaw Period by WANG Jixuan, LAN Xiaozhen, PEI Zhiyong, ZHANG Junyao, WANG Xinping, LI Ying, WANG Haichao, SUN Xiaotian, SUN Kai

“…The two-factor composite model of soil temperature and moisture explained soil respiration better than the single factor model, and it explained 81% of the variation in soil respiration. The simulation results of the structural equation modelling (SEM) showed that all factors could jointly explain 70% of the variation in soil respiration rate, snowfall and stubble levelling directly affected soil respiration, and land preparation affected soil respiration indirectly by affecting soil temperature and moisture. …”
