Functional Effects of the Pioneer Fern Dicranopteris on Soil Fertility and Its Spatial Patterns in Degraded Hilly Landscapes

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vegetation recovery is vital for reversing soil degradation in subtropical red soil regions. This study evaluates the role of the pioneer fern Dicranopteris in enhancing soil fertility and its spatial variability across degraded hills in South China.

Integrating Multiple Approaches to Reveal the Spatiotemporal Pattern of Soil Erosion in Mollisol Watershed

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although numerous prediction methods have been developed, scientific estimation of the spatiotemporal pattern of soil erosion at the watershed scale remains challenging. In this study, fallout radionuclides of 210Pbex and 137Cs were used to estimate average annual soil erosion and deposition in a Mollisol watershed in Northeast China ...

Combating Farmland Degradation and Abandonment: The Rehabilitative Role of High‐Standard Farmland Construction in China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farmland abandonment, driven by rapid urbanization and rural labor migration, has become a major catalyst for land degradation and threatens agricultural sustainability in China. While the High‐Standard Farmland Construction (HSFC) program was initiated to rehabilitate degraded soils and upgrade agricultural infrastructure, empirical evidence ...

Carbon Emissions From Different Functional Zones of Construction Land in the Yellow River Basin Based on Nighttime Light Data and POI Data

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Yellow River Basin is a critical region for ecological conservation and sustainable development in China. It also serves as a core area for carbon emissions across various functional zones of construction land. Accurately understanding carbon emissions from various types of construction land in the Yellow River Basin is crucial for China ...

Rhizosphere Microbiome Transplantation as a Resource‐Efficient Approach to Enhance Growth and Microbial Functional Diversity in Urban Plants

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban soils are increasingly affected by degradation, compaction, pollution, and water limitation, which can constrain plant performance and the functioning of urban green spaces. Rhizosphere microbiome transplantation (RMT), which transfers entire microbial communities from donor plants to target species, has emerged as a potential ...
