Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Although machine learning models have been successfully applied to estimate soil organic carbon (SOC), the lack of interpretability research has resulted in the absence of mechanistic explanations for these models. Therefore, in this study, we adopted the following workflow: first, we divided the whole study area into several subregions using ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Environmental pollution caused by excessive nitrogen fertilization has become increasingly serious, making optimized fertilization and straw management critical for improving agricultural sustainability. This study involved a two‐year field trial with three fertilization strategies: conventional fertilization (CF), 23.50% nitrogen reduction ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Deep‐rooted plantations are central to dryland ecological restoration, yet their long‐term cultivation drives widespread deep soil desiccation, threatening ecosystem sustainability. While artificial water replenishment is a key deep soil desiccation mitigation strategy, the depth‐dependent positional effect of stored water on eco‐hydrological ...

Soil degradation in the island of Sardinia (italy): a state-of-the-art
, 2017 Soil degradation may be considered as the loss of soil or soil quality for specific functions. Consequently, soil degradation is strongly affecting soil ecosystem services as well.

A Global Assessment of Anthropogenic Geomorphology
, 2018 Human societies now act as a potent geomorphic agent that has already transformed landscapes across more than one-third of Earth’s terrestrial surface. To interpret the extent, intensity, and form of human geomorphic fingerprints across Earth’s land, it ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Soil nutrient depletion severely constrains crop productivity in degraded and saline environments. Strategies such as biochar–compost integration could be useful for sustainable agriculture and land restoration on a global scale. This study evaluated the effects of biochar (1% Bc), compost (1% Co), and their blends (0.5% Bc + 0.5% Co and 1% Bc

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use change (LUC), land surface temperature (LST), and vegetation indices is critical for assessing ecological changes and informing sustainable land management. This study investigates the long‐term interrelationships between LUC, LST, and vegetation indices in China's Caohai National Nature ...
