The Impact of Climate Change on Soil Erosion Rates in the Chernozem Zone of Ukraine

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil degradation driven by accelerated water erosion threatens global food security. Quantitative estimates of soil erosion losses allow at‐risk areas to be identified and the success of soil management plans to be monitored. However, estimating soil erosion losses under changing climatic conditions is challenging, particularly at the scales ...

Contributions of Vegetation Restoration to Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration in Deserts of China: A Meta‐Analysis

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vegetation restoration has been widely used to curb desertification in northern and central desert shifting sandy lands of China. However, the general pattern, variability, and drivers of its effects on soil organic carbon (SOC) remain unclear.

The mechanisms behind the contrasting responses to waterlogging in black-grass (Alopecurus myosuroides) and wheat (Triticum aestivum)

Functional Plant Biology
Black-grass (Alopecurus myosuroides) is one of the most problematic agricultural weeds of Western Europe, causing significant yield losses in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) and other crops through competition for space and resources. Previous studies link black-grass patches to water-retaining soils, yet its specific adaptations to these conditions ...

Overgrazing‐Induced Root Carbohydrate Depletion During Winter Dormancy Drives the Decline of Stipa purpurea Populations in the Tibetan Alpine Steppe

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant carbon allocation and physiology are influenced by overgrazing during the growth period. However, the response of plant physiological processes to overgrazing during winter dormancy remains unclear. We analyzed root physiological processes of Stipa purpurea in winter dormancy across three plots: over grazing (FG), exclusions of 2 years ...

A Study on the Distribution Characteristics of Salinity and Nutrients and the Migration Mechanism of Soil Salt in the Delingha Saline‐Alkali Soil Profile of the Qaidam Basin

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil salinization negatively impacts the economic development and ecological environment, particularly in the arid and semiarid regions of China. The Qaidam Basin constitutes a major distribution area of saline‐alkali land in the country. However, the distribution patterns of salinity and nutrients within soil profiles and the underlying salt ...

Influence of climate change on prevalence of pollen sensitization in northern Taiwan

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection
Background: Pollen sensitization is not as common as mite sensitization in Taiwan. The dearth of regional aeropalynological studies and relevant clinical analyses has, therefore, led to an underestimation of the prevalence of pollen allergies.

Manufacturing Nostalgia in the Digital Age: A Foreverism Perspective

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many scholars argue that we are experiencing the era of “retro”—nostalgia‐driven marketing and consumption phenomena reinforced by digital technologies. However, existing research lacks a critical analysis of nostalgia in contemporary markets and of how digital content, tools, and environments transform retro consumption experiences and alter ...

Additions to the Acanthaceae of the Flora of Tropical East Africa: two new species from northern Kenya

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The new species Barleria kulalensis I.Darbysh. & Q.Luke and Dicliptera huriensis I.Darbysh. & Q.Luke are described and illustrated and their extinction risk is assessed provisionally. The former is based on Barleria sp. G of the Flora of Tropical East Africa (FTEA), with recent field observation and collection of this species from the foothills of ...
