Greening and Divergent Stability Responses in Central Asian Mountain Grasslands Under the Grassland Ecological Compensation Policy of China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mountain grasslands of Central Asia, recognized as a globally significant biodiversity hotspot and a vital pastoral resource, are presently experiencing profound transformations driven by climate change and evolving grazing practices. This study investigated the multidimensional dynamics of ecosystem stability in the Bayinbuluk grassland of ...

Nitrogen‐Fixing Woody Plants Sequester More Soil Mineral‐Associated Carbon and Lose Less Particulate Carbon Than Herbs Post Vegetation Restoration

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dividing soil organic carbon (SOC) into particulate (POC) and mineral‐associated organic carbon (MAOC) is crucial for understanding the formation, persistence, and functions of soil carbon. However, current understanding of the dynamics of new and old carbon in POC and MAOC following vegetation restoration remains unclear.

Stand Age, Standard Retention Density and Site Conditions as Drivers of Shoot Biomass Accumulation in Mediterranean Oak Coppices

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mediterranean oak coppices represent an important fuelwood resource in Central Italy, but management decisions are often constrained by limited quantitative evidence on the relative importance of stand development, standard retention, site conditions, and climate in driving shoot biomass accumulation.

National-scale estimation of gross forest aboveground carbon loss: a case study of the Democratic Republic of the Congo

Environmental Research Letters, 2013
Recent advances in remote sensing enable the mapping and monitoring of carbon stocks without relying on extensive in situ measurements. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is among the countries where national forest inventories (NFI) are either ...

Ecological Restoration Zoning Optimization of Zhejiang Province Based on Current Assessment and Future Prediction of Carbon Stocks

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Against the backdrop of global climate change and carbon neutrality goals, accurately assessing the impacts of land use on carbon stocks and linking forward‐looking simulations with the identification of priority restoration zones is essential to shift from reactive responses to proactive planning. In this study, we coupled the PLUS and InVEST
