Sand rice, a promising future crop for desert and marginal lands in northern China
Grassland Research, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 260-265, December 2023., 2023 Sand rice has great potential in complementary and gluten‐free food production and significance in ecological restoration. Domestication of sand rice is a win–win strategy for environmental sustainability and food diversity in desert regions. Developing elite lines with classical and mutagenesis breeding is essential for the large‐scale cultivation of ...

Can remotely sensed vegetation patterns signal dryland restoration success?
Restoration Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023 Active restoration is frequently implemented to restore degraded drylands globally, yet predicting the overall success of these restoration projects remains challenging. Here, we aim to explore if vegetation spatial patterns can be used to monitor ecosystem recovery and anticipate the success of restoration practices. We combined field surveys and high‐

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 33, Issue 10, Page 1637-1648, June 2022., 2022 Abstract The livestock dung seed bank (DSB) plays an important role in the regeneration and sustainability of grasslands in grazing ecosystems. As global precipitation patterns change, the productivity of the above ground vegetation (AGV) in semiarid and arid regions may be substantially affected, as will both the size and composition of the livestock ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022 Environmental filtering mainly influenced species richness and Rao quadratic entropy; phylogenetic α‐diversity was mainly influenced by spatial factors. Species and phylogenetic β‐diversity were mainly influenced by turnover. Functional β‐diversity and its turnover component are largely determined by niche process.
