Land 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

Bacillus subtilis Mobilizes Phosphorus by Reshaping P Pools, Sorption, and Enzyme Activities
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Low phosphorus (P) availability constrains crop production in saline‐alkaline soils of Xinjiang, China. We tested whether Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) mobilizes soil P by altering P fractions, sorption–desorption, and P‐cycling enzymes in a saline‐alkaline cotton soil. Under conventional fertilization, B. subtilis was applied at 0 (B0), 15 (

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Lateral carbon transport induced by soil erosion is a key component of the global carbon cycle. Over the past 50 years, ecological restoration projects in the Loess Plateau of China have increased vegetation coverage. However, the effects of land use, precipitation variability, and landscape factors on lateral carbon transport remain unclear ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The microtopographic characteristics of terrain are modified by soil management and conservation practices, affecting water infiltration, storage, runoff generation, and sediment transport. However, assessing soil microtopography at representative spatial scales remains challenging and time‐consuming.

Mapping Soil Salinity Prediction Enhanced by Time‐Series Remote Sensing Features
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Gaining timely knowledge of soil salinity's spatiotemporal dynamics is crucial for accurate mapping. Through temporal span comparisons, this study systematically extracts and utilizes time‐series features (TSFs) derived from Sentinel‐2 and Landsat 8 NDVI and SAVI data (2019–2023) to enhance prediction accuracy. Three datasets were constructed:

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aridification in Semiarid regions is a recurring theme in Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports and has been documented in Northeastern Brazil. This study analyzes the spatiotemporal dynamics of aridification in the Lower São Francisco River “Citizenship Territory” (Sergipe and Alagoas) at a fine spatial resolution (~1 km ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Abiotic and biotic filters shape microbial phylogenetic diversity. Here, we evaluated bacterial phylogenetic diversity in micro‐ and macro‐aggregates across primary and secondary soil successions to assess the relative influence of niche‐based and neutral processes.
