Efficiency of Vegetative Filter Strips in Mitigating Soil Erosion and Surface Runoff

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vegetative filter strips (VFS) are widely used in agriculture to reduce soil erosion and sediment transport during heavy rainfall events. This study assessed their effectiveness in controlling surface runoff and sediment transport under controlled field conditions.

Empowering Family Farming Through Participatory Mapping, Land Suitability Analysis and Sustainable Practices

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study integrated participatory mapping methods and land suitability analysis to address sustainability challenges in family farming in Guerrero, Mexico. Through workshops with farmers, we identified the types of family farming and their problems, such as pests, diseases, low productivity, land degradation, and lack of resources.

Plant Functional Composition, Ecological Niche Distribution, and Biodiversity Measures Across Urban Grasslands of Different Size, Localisation, and Type

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban grasslands (UGs) are among the most abundant type of green infrastructure in cities worldwide. They deliver a range of ecosystem services and perform numerous ecosystem functions. To ensure the multifunctionality of UGs, enhancing their biodiversity is crucial; however, owing to urbanisation effects and inappropriate management, UGs ...

Interactive Effects of Harvester Ant Nests and Abandoned Sheep Corrals on Soil Nutrient Dynamics and Vegetation in Semiarid Pastures

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semiarid regions like the Negev Desert face significant challenges due to low precipitation, nutrient‐poor soils, and grazing‐induced land degradation. Traditional grazing practices, particularly sheep corrals, have created nutrient‐rich hotspots that have influenced soil nutrient dynamics and vegetation patterns for decades.

Runoff and Sediment Response to Different Fire Intensities in a Hyrcanian Mixed Broadleaved Forest Ecosystem

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wildfires are increasingly recognized as a critical driver of ecosystem degradation, with post‐fire hydrological and soil impacts posing significant threats to biodiversity, water quality, and long‐term land productivity. In fire‐prone regions, understanding how varying fire intensities exacerbate runoff and erosion is essential for guiding ...
