Energy Options to Reduce Deforestation Using EKC Model: A Region‐Based Longitudinal Approach

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forests are carbon storage that can reduce carbon emissions, so deforestation (decrease in forest area) is a serious threat to environmental sustainability. Indonesia is a large carbon sink due to its large forests. However, deforestation is quite high due to economic activities that use fossil energy.

A Land Potential‐Based Framework for Wind Erosion and Sand and Dust Storm Source Mitigation

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wind erosion and sand and dust storms are a global challenge. While many management practices to mitigate sources of wind erosion and sand and dust storms have been documented, existing guidance largely emphasizes what practices are available, with limited information on where and under what ecological conditions they should be applied.

Aerial Seeding for Forest and Landscape Restoration: A Systematic Review of Technology, Challenges, and Future Directions

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land degradation is a critical global challenge, threatening biodiversity, food security, and livelihoods. Ecological restoration has therefore become a priority, with aerial seeding emerging as a key method to address issues of scale, accessibility, and efficiency. By dispersing seeds from aircraft or drones, aerial seeding complements ground‐

Driving Mechanisms of Land Degradation Neutrality at the County Level and Zonal Strategies in the Yellow River's Key Ecological Region (Part II: Post‐Assessment Driver Analysis)

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Achieving land degradation neutrality (LDN) is critical for sustainable socio‐ecological development; however, its practical implementation is often hindered by scale mismatches between assessments and administrative units, coupled with an over‐reliance on static drivers.

Application of Organic Superabsorbent Cellulosic Polymers (OSCPs) and Cyanobacteria on Reduction of Aeolian Losses

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Establishing biocrusts on sandy surfaces in harsh desert environments presents significant challenges due to extreme ecological conditions. To address these challenges, this study examined the effects of two organic superabsorbent cellulosic polymers (OSCPs)—carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and guar gum (GUA)—on the establishment of ...

Differences in Dust Emission and Near‐Surface Transport Patterns Among Three Surface Substrate Types

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil wind erosion is a major driver of atmospheric dust emissions and land degradation. Many studies have examined dust release from different substrates, but differences in methods and units still limit quantitative understanding of how surface conditions and wind jointly control dust emission and near‐surface transport. A closed‐circuit wind

Desertification Mitigation in Northern China Was Promoted by Climate Drivers after 2000

Remote Sensing
Desertification greatly threatens the ecological environment and sustainable development over approximately 30% of global land. In this study, the contributions of climate drivers and human activity in shaping the desertification process from 1984 to ...
