Spatially Heterogeneous and Nonlinear Responses of Ecosystem Service Value to Human Activity Intensity in an Arid Mountain–Oasis–Desert Urban Agglomeration

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rapid urbanization and agricultural expansion are reshaping human–environment relationships in arid regions; however, the spatially heterogeneous and nonlinear relationships between human activities and ecosystem services remain insufficiently understood.

Assessing and Explaining Human–Nature Coordination at the County Scale in China: Combining an Interpretable Spatiotemporal Graph Neural Network and Difference‐In‐Differences

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coordinating high‐intensity human activities with fragile ecosystems remains a major challenge for global sustainability. Accurate assessment of human–nature coordination (HNC) is critical, yet county‐level variations, underlying drivers, and responses to ecological zoning have seldom been examined simultaneously within a unified framework.

From Past to Future: Overall Patterns, Nonlinear Relationships, Spatial Heterogeneity and Drivers of Ecosystem Service Trade‐Offs and Synergies in the Yangtze River Economic Belt

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land‐use change and climate change are reshaping watershed ecological functions and may intensify the risk of localized ecological degradation. However, existing studies have primarily focused on the spatiotemporal patterns of ecosystem services (ESs) during historical periods, while the nonlinear changes, spatial heterogeneity, and driving ...

Pedo‐Climatic Controls on Soil Health Recovery Across Cultivation Chronosequences: Hydraulic Conductivity as a Potential Link Between Soil Structure, Microbial Biomass, and Nutrient Availability

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Long‐term cultivation can improve soil health, but recovery may not follow the same pathway across contrasting soil and climate conditions. A key unresolved question is whether soil health recovery is mainly associated with the release of physical–chemical constraints or with the gradual rebuilding of carbon, microbial biomass, and nutrient ...

Vegetation Improves Hydro‐Mechanical Soil Resilience on Humid Tropical Slopes: Field Evidence for Sustainable Land Management

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Landslides represent a recurring hazard in humid tropical regions, primarily driven by intense rainfall that weakens slope materials and reduces shear resistance. Vegetation is widely promoted as a nature‐based solution to improve near‐surface soil conditions; however, systematic field‐based hydro‐mechanical evidence from humid tropical ...
