Agroforestry-Based Nature Actions for Climate Change Mitigation Through Soil Carbon Storage in Zamora Chinchipe

Agronomy
Agroforestry systems are a sustainable strategy for climate change mitigation by enhancing carbon sequestration in agricultural soils, particularly in regions like Zamora Chinchipe, where they improve soil resilience and productivity in deforested ...

Topic: Smallholder Farmers' Adaptation Practices to the Effects of Land Degradation on Livelihoods in Semi‐Arid Ghana

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although several environmental challenges exist globally, land degradation is the greatest threat and risk factor wedging human livelihoods. Despite widespread awareness of climate change, little empirical evidence exists on land degradation and its impacts on livelihoods in semi‐arid agroecological systems.

Resilience Pathways for Land Degradation Neutrality: How Informal Institutions Shape Community Land Governance Across the Global South

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A decade after Land Degradation Neutrality was incorporated into Sustainable Development Goal 15.3, implementation outcomes across the Global South remain uneven. Mainstream commons research identifies recurring institutional features, whereas critical institutionalism emphasizes their adaptive assembly; both traditions increasingly recognize ...

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.

Topographic and Climatic Determinants of Soil Organic Carbon Across Landscapes: A Meta‐Analysis

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The soil is the greatest natural store of organic carbon, holding between 1500 to 1550 Pg C of organic carbon at the top 100 cm of the soil globally—roughly twice the carbon pool in the atmosphere. The spatial distribution of this stock is controlled by a complex chain of controls: topographic position regulates the hydrological redistribution,

Higher NO3−‐N Levels Under Mulberry (Morus alba L.) Planting Enhanced CAZyme Abundance, Increasing Soil Carbon Stability

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Afforestation is widely advocated for boosting carbon (C) sequestration. However, the stability of soil C pools in economically and culturally significant mulberry plantations remains poorly understood. The soil organic C (SOC) contents in different aggregates and the oxidizable OC fractions were measured.

Agroforestry: a key land use system for sustainable food production and public health

Trees, Forests and People
Agroforestry is a climate resilient agricultural land use system that includes trees and woody shrubs. The environmental benefits of agroforestry systems are well known, but their broader contributions to global public health have been understudied. This
