Afforestation Partially Offsets Losses of Soil Conservation Services and Carbon Stock From Direct and Indirect Urban Expansion in China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban expansion has exerted both direct and indirect impacts on natural land and ecosystem services it supports, driven by increasing population and food demand, yet these underlying pathways remain insufficiently distinguished. Here, we quantified the losses of soil conservation services (water erosion regulation and sandstorm prevention) and

Determining the Optimal Water Storage Depth of Apple Orchards in the Chinese Loess Plateau: Balancing Soil Desiccation Mitigation, Plant Utilization, and Engineering Construction

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deep‐rooted plantations are central to dryland ecological restoration, yet their long‐term cultivation drives widespread deep soil desiccation, threatening ecosystem sustainability. While artificial water replenishment is a key deep soil desiccation mitigation strategy, the depth‐dependent positional effect of stored water on eco‐hydrological ...

Future Soil Erosion Under Combined CMIP6 Climate Projections and Land Use/Land Cover Change: A RUSLE‐Based Assessment of the Kampe Omi Dam Basin in Nigeria

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion remains a major environmental challenge in Nigeria, driven by the combined effects of climate variability and land use/land cover (LULC) changes. Understanding future dynamics is essential for effective soil conservation planning.
