Burrow use by Saharan striped polecat (Poecilictis libyca) in an agricultural area of central Tunisia

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Saharan striped polecats in agricultural landscapes use many burrows (30–35 per season), facilitated by sandy soils. Burrow sharing is rare and mainly occurs between males and females during mating. Habitat use shifts seasonally, reflecting disturbance and soil conditions. Maintaining stable sandy habitats may be critical for persistence.

Ditch‐Buried Straw Return Improves Soil Physical Quality and Crop Biomass in Two Rice–Wheat Paddy Soil Systems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ditch‐buried straw return (DB) is an innovative practice combining deep tillage and straw incorporation. This study aimed to evaluate its effects on soil physical quality compared to rotary tillage (RT) and identified key constraints to crop in sandy‐loam and clay‐loam paddy soils within rice–wheat systems. Two field experiments were conducted

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 ...

Native Perennial Vegetation Buffer Strips Improve Structural Indicators of Riparian Protection in Mediterranean Agroecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riparian zones in Mediterranean agroecosystems are highly vulnerable to degradation because cultivation often reaches stream edges and annual vegetation senesces during the late‐summer dry period, leaving soils exposed when the first erosive autumn rains occur.

Seasonal Dynamics of Soil Multitrophic Biodiversity, Co‐Occurrence Network and Assembly Mechanisms Under Typical Vegetation Restoration Patterns in Karst Region

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Previous studies often overlooked the dynamic effects of karst vegetation restoration on soil multi‐trophic biodiversity and the underlying community‐assembly mechanisms. To fill this gap, we performed a seasonal comparative analysis of soil biodiversity, co‐occurrence network architecture, and assembly processes across three representative ...
