Divergent Blue Carbon Trajectories in the Yellow River Delta Post‐1976 Diversion: Hydrological Stability and Human Disturbance Contrasts Revealed by Multi‐Source Remote Sensing (1984–2023)

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coastal wetlands are critical blue carbon sinks, yet their spatiotemporal dynamics under environmental change remain insufficiently quantified. Taking the Yellow River Delta (YRD) as a natural laboratory, this study synthesizes multi‐source remote sensing data, including optical and radar imagery spanning from 1984 to 2023, to explore the ...

Estimating Land Degradation Level Using Remote Sensing Data and Fuzzy AHP Technique

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land degradation is a critical global environmental concern that significantly impacts ecosystem services, agricultural productivity, weather patterns, human livelihoods and overall well‐being. Prompt and precise assessments of land degradation status are crucial for environmental governance and sustainable development. Remote sensing data can

Carbon carrying capacity in primary forests shows potential for mitigation achieving the European Green Deal 2030 target

Communications Earth & Environment
Carbon accounting in the land sector requires a reference level from which to calculate past losses of carbon and potential for gains using a stock-based target.

Native Perennial Vegetation Buffer Strips Improve Structural Indicators of Riparian Protection in Mediterranean Agroecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riparian zones in Mediterranean agroecosystems are highly vulnerable to degradation because cultivation often reaches stream edges and annual vegetation senesces during the late‐summer dry period, leaving soils exposed when the first erosive autumn rains occur.

Toward a More Robust Estimation of Forest Biomass Carbon Stock and Carbon Sink in Mountainous Region: A Case Study in Tibet, China

Remote Sensing
Mountainous forests are pivotal in the global carbon cycle, serving as substantial reservoirs and sinks of carbon. However, generating a reliable estimate remains a considerable challenge, primarily due to the lack of representative in situ measurements and proper methods capable of addressing their complex spatial variation.

Integrating and assessing metacommunity drivers of ecosystem function and resilience in benthic algal systems

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding the scales and mechanisms by which species composition interacts with ecosystem functions is critical for forecasting the effects of environmental perturbations on ecosystem services. However, the linkages between what regulates the ecosystem functions of dispersal‐capable networks of communities (metacommunities) and what regulates a ...

Patterns and environmental drivers of root traits across hydrological gradients in old growth boreal forests

Oikos, EarlyView.
Many key ecosystem functions are affected by plant roots and their traits. However, understanding of the patterns in, and drivers of, root traits lags far behind equivalent knowledge of above‐ground tissues, particularly in boreal old growth forests. We surveyed community‐level root traits across 11 old growth forests spanning a wide latitudinal range ...

The importance of biodiversity components differs among wood‐based material Nature's contributions to people (NCP) in a tropical montane ecosystem

Oikos, EarlyView.
Biodiversity can influence forest productivity, but this does not necessarily translate into higher provision of wood‐based Nature's contributions to people (NCP), as only a subset of the wood produced is used for each NCP. Biodiversity–NCP relationships therefore require further assessment.
