Afforestation Partially Offsets Losses of Soil Conservation Services and Carbon Stock From Direct and Indirect Urban Expansion in China

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban expansion has exerted both direct and indirect impacts on natural land and ecosystem services it supports, driven by increasing population and food demand, yet these underlying pathways remain insufficiently distinguished. Here, we quantified the losses of soil conservation services (water erosion regulation and sandstorm prevention) and

Synergistic Regulation of Soil Function and Wind Erosion Resistance by Sand Barriers, Vegetation, and Artificial Biological Crust in the Tengger Desert

open access: yesLand 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 ...

From Ashes to Action: Economic Growth, Ecological Footprint, and Forest Fire Resilience in Advanced and Emerging Economies

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forest fires have escalated alarmingly, now consuming more than double the tree cover compared to two decades ago, signaling a growing and urgent environmental crisis. This study addresses the ever increasing global concern of forest fires, focusing on sustainable economic recovery while minimizing the ecological footprint amid mounting ...

Theory of Supercritical Coupling and Generalized Bound States in the Continuum

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
We develop a general theory of supercritical coupling and generalized bound states in the continuum (gBICs), revealing how interference between radiative and absorptive channels enables quality factors beyond conventional material‐loss limits. The framework unifies non‐Hermitian mode coupling, causality‐driven reactive interactions, and interference ...

Optical Stimulation and Monitoring of the Peripheral Nervous System: Perspectives and Challenges Toward Clinical Translation

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Optical neuromodulation with IR light allows stimulation of the PNS without the need for physical contact with the target nerve or without requiring any genetic modification. The clinical translation of this technique will pave the way to the development of neural interfaces for restoring sensory feedback in individuals with limb amputation.
