Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Soil degradation compromises ecosystem functioning. Biochar, a carbon‐rich amendment, has gained attention as a promising strategy to enhance soil structure and restore microbial balance. This study investigated the effects of two biochars, cashew bagasse biochar (CBB) and a co‐pyrolyzed biochar produced from sewage sludge and cashew pruning ...

Estimating Soil Compaction Risk at Regional Scales Using Meteorological Data and Soil Spectroscopy
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Soil compaction is a significant form of soil degradation in Europe, reducing agricultural productivity, limiting carbon sequestration and increasing greenhouse gases emissions. In response, the forthcoming European Union Soil Monitoring and Resilience Law requires spatial assessment of topsoil and subsoil compaction risk at district, that is,

Underground Lag: Fungal Community and Edaphic Legacies After Disturbance
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Páramos are neotropical mountain ecosystems that regulate water and store large amounts of carbon, but are increasingly degraded by agriculture and grazing. Although native vegetation often recolonizes after abandonment, belowground recovery remains poorly understood.

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Smallholder farmers in coastal Cameroon face accelerating soil degradation and climate variability. However, the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices (SAPs) remains uneven. This study examines how information behavior and motivational objectives shape SAP adoption in the Tiko municipality using a cross‐sectional survey of 122 ...

More than proteins for empty stomachs: Wild meat in the BaTonga food system
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Our paper highlights the limitations of the framework used by many conservation‐focused programmes that incorporate food security objectives. This framework encourages the substitution of wild proteins with domestic proteins by promoting animal farming in communities located near conservation areas.
