Nexus of Urbanization, Land Degradation, and Agricultural Sustainability: A Global Bibliometric Review

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rapid urban expansion has become a global concern that increasingly encroaches on agricultural land and threatens food security, environmental sustainability, and rural livelihoods. This study offers a comprehensive bibliometric review of global research at the crossroads of urbanization, agricultural land degradation, and food security.

Zagros Restoration: Smart Choices for Oak Forests

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Widespread forest degradation across the northern Zagros region of Iran driven by both human activity and natural processes has created an urgent need for targeted afforestation and forest enrichment strategies. Hence, the aim of this study was identifying the most suitable native tree and shrub species for restoring degraded forest areas in ...

Response of Soil Fungal Communities to the Alpine Steppe Degradation Gradient

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The degradation of alpine steppe on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau has become a critical ecological security issue. Soil fungi, as core regulators of grassland ecosystem functioning, play a pivotal role in mediating the feedback between degradation and soil ecological processes.

Environmental Filtering and Microbial Interactions Drive Soil Bacterial and Fungal Community Assembly in Subtropical Forests

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil microbial communities are pivotal to forest ecosystem functions, yet the mechanisms shaping their assembly across complex environments remain poorly understood. This study examined bacterial and fungal communities within topsoil and subsoil under subtropical coniferous forest (CF), mixed conifer–broadleaf forest (MF), and broadleaf forest
