Integrating Machine Learning and StoDyM for Check Dam Site Selection on the Loess Plateau, China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Severe soil erosion in the Loess Plateau has led to significant land degradation, threatening agricultural productivity and ecosystem stability. Check dams, as a critical soil–water conservation measure, have proven effective in mitigating sediment loss and reclaiming farmland.

Assessing Soil Erosion in a Typical Karst Region: A Model Improved by Bedrock Exposure Rate in Guizhou Province

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion is a major environmental challenge in karst regions of Southwest China, where thin soils and high bedrock exposure accelerate land degradation. This study modified the RUSLE model by incorporating bedrock exposure rate to improve erosion simulation in Guizhou Province from 2000 to 2024.

Incorporating Suitability Evaluation Into an Adaptive Ant Colony Algorithm for Territorial Spatial Optimization

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Territorial spatial optimization is a key strategy to promote long‐term regional sustainable development. Although ant colony optimization (ACO) is widely used in territorial spatial optimization, it is prone to local optima and offers limited integration of spatial suitability and regional heterogeneity. To address these problems, an adaptive

Integrating Ecosystem Service Benefits to Assess Ecosystem Health and Its Response to Land Spatial Structure Conflicts in Anning River Basin, China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land spatial structure conflicts (LSSC) weaken the actual benefits of ecosystem services by inducing trade‐offs among them, directly threatening regional ecosystem health (EH) and sustainable development. However, most studies have failed to incorporate ecosystem service benefits (ESB) into EH assessments and have overlooked their response to ...

Ecological Restoration Zoning Optimization of Zhejiang Province Based on Current Assessment and Future Prediction of Carbon Stocks

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Against the backdrop of global climate change and carbon neutrality goals, accurately assessing the impacts of land use on carbon stocks and linking forward‐looking simulations with the identification of priority restoration zones is essential to shift from reactive responses to proactive planning. In this study, we coupled the PLUS and InVEST
