Restoration ecology in conflict along the Colorado front range

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 7, September 2026.
Abstract Introduction Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) is a challenge to restoration in western North America. It attracts the attention of academic and government research scientists, weed managers, and chemical companies. Attempts to control it cause conflicts among these groups.

Alpine Secondary Forest Types Influence Soil Microbial Community Structure and Enzyme Activities on the Eastern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10107-10126, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil microbial communities and enzyme activities influence soil functions and tree growth in ecologically fragile alpine regions. However, differences in soil microbial communities among secondary forests remain poorly understood in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau.

Greening and Divergent Stability Responses in Central Asian Mountain Grasslands Under the Grassland Ecological Compensation Policy of China

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10147-10161, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Mountain grasslands of Central Asia, recognized as a globally significant biodiversity hotspot and a vital pastoral resource, are presently experiencing profound transformations driven by climate change and evolving grazing practices. This study investigated the multidimensional dynamics of ecosystem stability in the Bayinbuluk grassland of ...

The Aridity Threshold of Soil Organic Carbon Density Along the Climate Aridity Gradient in the Alpine Ecosystem of the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10205-10216, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil organic carbon density (SOCD) is a key indicator for evaluating the stability of soil carbon pools, especially in alpine ecosystems that are sensitive to climate change. However, research on the response of SOCD to different aridity gradients is still limited. Therefore, we conducted extensive sampling along different aridity gradients of

Significant Imbalance Between Human Activities and Ecosystem Services in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China: Evidence From an Improved Coupling Coordination Degree Model

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10255-10271, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Maintaining balanced interactions between humans and ecosystems in plateau regions is critical to achieving global sustainable development. However, existing methodologies are insufficient to fully elucidate the complex coupling and coordination relationships between human activities and ecosystems, as well as the sustainable development ...

Response of Soil Fungal Communities to the Alpine Steppe Degradation Gradient

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10308-10323, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT The degradation of alpine steppe on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau has become a critical ecological security issue. Soil fungi, as core regulators of grassland ecosystem functioning, play a pivotal role in mediating the feedback between degradation and soil ecological processes.
