Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aeolian desertification poses a critical threat to ecosystem stability in arid regions worldwide. Although the combination of sand barriers and vegetation has been widely applied for sand fixation, its long‐term effectiveness is constrained by barrier degradation, slow natural development of biological soil crusts (BSCs), and the resulting ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aeolian dust source areas are controlled by climate and human activities and are closely associated with land degradation, yet their long‐term evolution under global warming remains insufficiently quantified. An integrated framework that couples a U‐Net segmentation model with Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) was built to map and attribute

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.

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Colorado's geologic, pedologic, topographic, hydrological, and climatic contrasts create strong but under‐synthesized opportunities for sustainable agritourism. This review investigates how geodiversity, and the broader environmental heterogeneity within which it operates, can be used to diversify farm income, strengthen place‐based visitor ...

Efficacy of raccoon removal in urban and rural sites in northern Illinois
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.We placed 109 camera traps (n = 204 unique camera trap placements) at 6 study sites (5 treatment and 1 control) to monitor raccoon response to removal. Our results indicated that implementing biannual, multiple, or extended trapping programs could maintain reduced raccoon abundance and occupancy over longer durations where protection of prey species is
