A 30-m annual corn residue coverage dataset from 2013 to 2021 in Northeast China

Scientific Data
Crop residue cover plays a key role in the protection of black soil by covering the soil in the non-growing season against wind erosion and chopping for returning to the soil to increase organic matter in the future.

Watershed-scale agricultural land-use impact on instream physicochemical parameters [PDF]

, 2003
Nonpoint source (NPS) pollution is often the result of runoff losses from agricultural or urban areas. Even though the watershed approach to controlling NPS pollution is identified as the most efficient approach, data linking watershed scale land use and

Communal land and agricultural productivity [PDF]

Journal of Development Economics, 2019
This paper quantifies the aggregate impact of communal land tenure ar- rangements that prevail in Sub-Saharan Africa. Such tenure regimes limit land transfer- ability by prohibiting sales, subjecting rented-out land to the risk of expropriation, and redistributing it to existing farmers in a progressive fashion.

Former land use affects the nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations and biomass of forest herbs [PDF]

, 2011
The colonization rates of understorey plants into forests growing on former agricultural land differ remarkably among species. Different dispersal and recruitment largely account for the contrasting colonization rates, but different effects of the soil ...
