Land Degradation in Ethiopia: What Do Stoves Have To Do With It? [PDF]

In Ethiopia deforestation is a major problem and many peasants have switched from fuelwood to dung for cooking and heating purposes, thereby damaging the agricultural productivity of cropland. The Ethiopian government has embarked on a two-pronged policy

Compounding effects of cattle, wild ungulates, and beaver impede riparian restoration

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Planting native woody vegetation is a common restoration practice to increase stream shade, an important salmonid habitat recovery strategy in the interior Pacific Northwest (PNW, USA). Herbivory by domestic livestock and wild mammals, a ubiquitous disturbance in PNW riparian zones, is a common barrier to survival and growth of plantings ...

Warming‐Induced Shifts in Relative Humidity Reshape Global Soil Organic Carbon Storage

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
We developed a four‐dimensional deep learning framework for predicting global soil organic carbon (SOC). It generates spatially explicit, soil depth‐resolved, and temporally connected SOC estimates. ABSTRACT Soil organic carbon (SOC) underpins food production, ecosystem functioning, and climate regulation.

Key Drivers of Soil CO2, CH4, and N2O Fluxes in Conifer and Broadleaf Afforestation Systems in the Southeastern U.S.: A Machine Learning Analysis

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Soil CO2 and CH4 emissions were higher in broadleaf than conifer afforestation systems in the southeastern U.S., particularly during the growing season. Machine learning analyses identified soil temperature, moisture, and atmospheric conditions as key drivers, emphasizing that soil greenhouse gas responses critically influence the climate mitigation ...

Drivers of Runoff Sensitivity in the Rivers of Great Britain

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 9, September 2026.
This graphical abstract summarises the spatial structure of runoff sensitivity across Great Britain. We find that runoff sensitivity varies greatly across regions and seasons. Vegetation cover and soil properties strongly influence runoff responses to annual runoff variability, while seasonal variations in runoff sensitivity are mainly driven by ...

Land Use and Land Cover Analysis for Solid Waste Management in NCT Delhi Using Fusion Aware Segformer

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10672-10696, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The use of Land Use Land Cover (LULC) analysis is a fundamental requirement for urban solid waste management (SWM); however, conventional LULC analysis methods are not well suited to the spatio‐temporal variability, multi‐sensor heterogeneity, and seasonal variations of highly dynamic urban environments.
