Manure Composting as a Strategy to Mitigate Antibiotic Resistance Dissemination in Agricultural Systems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Livestock manure is a valuable agricultural resource but may introduce antibiotic residues and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) into the environment. This review critically evaluates the fate of antibiotics and ARGs during manure composting and identifies the principal factors controlling their attenuation.

Explainable, Uncertainty‐Aware Machine Learning for Maize Land Suitability and Climate Resilience in Lorestan Province, Western Iran

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Maize (Zea mays L.) is strategically important in Iran, yet its cultivation in the semi‐arid Zagros is constrained by limited and variable water, heat stress and heterogeneous soils, while conventional suitability assessments are deterministic, rarely validated spatially and provide no measure of confidence.

Effect of Stand Density on Soil Microbial Carbon and Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Robinia pseudoacacia Plantations in the Loess Hilly‐Gully Region, China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil microbial carbon (CUE) and nitrogen (NUE) use efficiency are critical for soil carbon (C) sequestration and nitrogen (N) availability. However, how microbial CUE and NUE respond to stand density is unclear. Furthermore, it remains unclear whether the response of microbial CUE and NUE to stand density could be mediated by soil depth.

Forest Conversion Reduces Soil Water Retention in Tropical Rainforest

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extensive primary forests are being converted to secondary forests and plantations owing to human activities in recent decades, which have substantial effects on soil hydrological processes. However, the potential impact of forest conversion on soil water retention remains poorly understood.

Land‐Use Thresholds and Spatial Regulation Oriented Toward Ecosystem Service Supply–Demand Balance: A Case Study of Jiangxi Province

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Imbalances between ecosystem service (ES) supply and demand constrain ecological governance and sustainable development. While spatial patterns of these imbalances have been widely studied, less attention has been paid to the land‐use thresholds and regulatory mechanisms needed to maintain ES balance. Using Jiangxi Province as a case study, we

Effects of Composite Reclamation Models of Sea Buckthorn, A Pioneer Species in Semi‐Arid Regions, on Soil Quality and Microbial Communities

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Open‐pit coal mining severely degrades soil and ecosystem functions, constraining regional sustainability. Vegetation‐based reclamation has therefore been widely adopted as an effective approach to promote soil recovery and ecosystem restoration.

Tree Species Configuration Shapes Soil Phosphorus Fractions and Microbial Communities in Uneven‐Aged Multilayered Chinese Fir–Broadleaved Mixed Forests

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) plantations in southern China are often limited by phosphorus (P) availability, constraining productivity and sustainable management. We hypothesized that multi‐species, multilayered, uneven‐aged configurations would enhance soil P availability by regulating P fractions and microbial P transformation. This

Community‐Managed Systems as Nature‐Based Solutions: Effects of Elevation and Size on Floral Richness and Carbon Stock of Sacred Groves in Kerala, India

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Limiting global warming to 1.5°C–2°C requires rapid reductions in atmospheric carbon, highlighting the need to conserve ecosystems with high carbon stock potential. Sacred groves are culturally protected forest fragments maintained through traditional practices and represent community‐managed landscapes with significant potential as nature ...

Modified Biochar for Wastewater Nutrient Recovery and Slow‐Release Fertilization in Sandy Agroecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modified biochars are increasingly recognized as multifunctional materials for wastewater nutrient recovery and slow‐release fertilization in sandy agroecosystems. This review evaluates modified biochars, with particular emphasis on tyre‐derived biochar (TBC), for (i) recovery of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from wastewater and digestate ...
