| Abstract | Karst rocky desertification is a unique type of desertification caused by unreasonable human activities in a vulnerable ecological environment. It has severely restrained the sustainable development of Southwest China. Chenqi village which is the studied area in this paper has suffered karst rocky desertification for decades. Red clay samples were collected from different sites around this village and analyzed through mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) tests. Then, the microstructure changes of soil during its loss and leakage were observed to study the impact of rainfall erosion and the mechanism of soil loss and leakage. The results demonstrate that the land use patterns can change the distribution of micro/small pores in soil. The shrub grass land, which is least exploited by human activities, has the largest volume of micro/small pores. Meanwhile, soil leakage can change the distribution of medium/large pores. The soil from surface (0–15 cm), which is deposited at the beginning of soil leakage, has the largest volume of medium/large pores. Pore surface fractural dimension is negatively correlated with human activity impact, and positively correlated with the distribution of micro and small pores. The microstructure can well represent different phases of soil loss and leakage as well as the soil breakage level. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
