Unraveling the Spatiotemporal Dynamics and Nonlinear Drivers of Green Transition of Farmland Use in Major Grain‐Producing Areas: A Case Study of Jiangsu Province, China

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Promoting the green transition of farmland use (GTFU) in major grain‐producing areas is essential for ensuring food security and advancing sustainable agricultural development. However, existing studies on GTFU have predominantly relied on static cross‐sectional analyses, with insufficient attention paid to its nonlinear driving mechanisms. To

Screening Maize Cultivars Enables Concurrent Safe Crop Production and Phytoremediation of Cd‐Contaminated Agricultural Soil: A Field Experiment

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Conventional management of heavy metal contaminated soil faces a dual challenge. Safe utilization maintains agricultural production without removing pollutants, whereas phytoremediation cleans the soil but cannot guarantee the planted crop safety.

Heterogeneity and Controlling Mechanisms of Soil Organic Carbon Stocks Across Erosion Zones in China Under Future Climate Scenarios

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil organic carbon (SOC), as a key indicator of global carbon cycling and climate change response, plays a critical role in regional ecological security and agricultural sustainability. This study employs three machine learning models including the LightGBM, XGBoost, and random forest to simulate the spatial distribution of topsoil SOC stocks

Water Table Decline Shifts Microbial Necromass From Particulate to Mineral‐Associated Pools in Peatlands

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microbial necromass carbon (MNC) is a major and stable component of soil organic carbon, yet its fraction‐specific accumulation and stabilization mechanisms remain unclear, particularly in peatlands experiencing hydrological change. We investigated MNC distribution along three independent transects spanning a natural gradient of five ...

Assessing and Explaining Human–Nature Coordination at the County Scale in China: Combining an Interpretable Spatiotemporal Graph Neural Network and Difference‐In‐Differences

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coordinating high‐intensity human activities with fragile ecosystems remains a major challenge for global sustainability. Accurate assessment of human–nature coordination (HNC) is critical, yet county‐level variations, underlying drivers, and responses to ecological zoning have seldom been examined simultaneously within a unified framework. We
