Establishment Limitations of Sensitive Target Species Potentilla alba L. in Grasslands Restored on Arable Land

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Species in grasslands restored from former arable land have multiple obstacles when establishing. Understanding whether these limitations stem from soil chemical or microbial differences could help to create suitable environments for specific target and other species with similar requirements.

Zagros Restoration: Smart Choices for Oak Forests

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Widespread forest degradation across the northern Zagros region of Iran driven by both human activity and natural processes has created an urgent need for targeted afforestation and forest enrichment strategies. Hence, the aim of this study was identifying the most suitable native tree and shrub species for restoring degraded forest areas in ...

Response of Soil Fungal Communities to the Alpine Steppe Degradation Gradient

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The degradation of alpine steppe on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau has become a critical ecological security issue. Soil fungi, as core regulators of grassland ecosystem functioning, play a pivotal role in mediating the feedback between degradation and soil ecological processes.

Lateral Carbon Transport Induced by Watershed Erosion: Driving Effects of Land Use, Rainfall, and Landscape Controls

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lateral carbon transport induced by soil erosion is a key component of the global carbon cycle. Over the past 50 years, ecological restoration projects in the Loess Plateau of China have increased vegetation coverage. However, the effects of land use, precipitation variability, and landscape factors on lateral carbon transport remain unclear ...

The Unfolding Desert: Observed Structural Drying and Projected Aridity Risks in a Brazilian Family Farming Citizenship Territory

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aridification in Semiarid regions is a recurring theme in Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports and has been documented in Northeastern Brazil. This study analyzes the spatiotemporal dynamics of aridification in the Lower São Francisco River “Citizenship Territory” (Sergipe and Alagoas) at a fine spatial resolution (~1 km ...
