Socioeconomic Factors Associated With Native Vegetation Conservation in Rural Properties of the Brazilian Semi‐Arid Region

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10162-10173, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT The conservation of native vegetation in rural properties of the Brazilian semi‐arid region constitutes a critical challenge for regional environmental sustainability and land degradation prevention. This study analyzed the influence of socioeconomic factors of rural landowners on native vegetation retention in properties from the Central ...

Discriminating Arid Ecosystems and Tracking Desertification Dynamics: Evidence From Grain‐Size End‐Member in the Manas River Basin, Northern Tianshan Mountains

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10174-10186, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT The ecosystem of the Manas River Basin, composed of mountains, oases, and deserts, constitutes an ideal natural laboratory for investigating surface processes and environmental evolution in arid regions. Elucidating the provenance, transport dynamics, and climate response mechanisms of surface sediments in this system is critical for advancing

Nitrogen‐Fixing Woody Plants Sequester More Soil Mineral‐Associated Carbon and Lose Less Particulate Carbon Than Herbs Post Vegetation Restoration

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10232-10245, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Dividing soil organic carbon (SOC) into particulate (POC) and mineral‐associated organic carbon (MAOC) is crucial for understanding the formation, persistence, and functions of soil carbon. However, current understanding of the dynamics of new and old carbon in POC and MAOC following vegetation restoration remains unclear.

Nexus of Urbanization, Land Degradation, and Agricultural Sustainability: A Global Bibliometric Review

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 9758-9776, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Rapid urban expansion has become a global concern that increasingly encroaches on agricultural land and threatens food security, environmental sustainability, and rural livelihoods. This study offers a comprehensive bibliometric review of global research at the crossroads of urbanization, agricultural land degradation, and food security.

Assessing Land Use Conflict in the Yangtze River Middle Reaches Megalopolis for 2030: Integrating Landscape Pattern Analysis and Scenario Simulation to Address Uncontrolled and Severe Conflict Zones

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10513-10531, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Land use conflicts (LUCs) significantly impact regional food security and ecological security. Identifying LUCs helps cut down ecological risks. This study focuses on the Yangtze River Middle Reaches Megalopolis (YRMRM) as a case, employing a landscape pattern approach to construct a land use conflict measurement model.
