Long‐Term Operation of Photovoltaic Power Stations Promotes Soil Carbon Sequestration but Induces Stoichiometric C:N:P Imbalance in Desert Ecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil carbon‐nitrogen‐phosphorus (C:N:P) stoichiometry governs nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration in desert ecosystems, yet how large‐scale photovoltaic (PV) deployment, a cornerstone of global carbon neutrality, shifts these stoichiometric balances and whether such shifts enhance or degrade long‐term land function remain unresolved over

Asymmetric Responses of Ecosystem Health to Urbanization in a Typical Karst City: Spatiotemporal Patterns and Driving Mechanisms in Guilin, China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban expansion can substantially reshape ecosystem structure and functioning, especially in ecologically fragile Karst landscapes. Clarifying how ecosystem health (EH) responds to urbanization and identifying the factors that drive spatial variation in EH are important for regional sustainability.

Afforestation Partially Offsets Losses of Soil Conservation Services and Carbon Stock From Direct and Indirect Urban Expansion in China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban expansion has exerted both direct and indirect impacts on natural land and ecosystem services it supports, driven by increasing population and food demand, yet these underlying pathways remain insufficiently distinguished. Here, we quantified the losses of soil conservation services (water erosion regulation and sandstorm prevention) and

Determining the Optimal Water Storage Depth of Apple Orchards in the Chinese Loess Plateau: Balancing Soil Desiccation Mitigation, Plant Utilization, and Engineering Construction

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deep‐rooted plantations are central to dryland ecological restoration, yet their long‐term cultivation drives widespread deep soil desiccation, threatening ecosystem sustainability. While artificial water replenishment is a key deep soil desiccation mitigation strategy, the depth‐dependent positional effect of stored water on eco‐hydrological ...
