Integrating X‐Ray Computed Tomography and Hydraulic Properties for Soil Quality Assessment Under Soil Compaction

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil compaction poses a significant threat to soil quality and sustainability, necessitating advanced assessment methods. We hypothesized that incorporating x‐ray computed tomography (XCT)‐derived pore characteristics with hydraulic properties would significantly enhance the development of a soil quality index (SQI) under soil compaction ...

Biological Salt‐Pump Effect: Long‐Term Stand Development of Haloxylon ammodendron and Its Role in Reshaping Soil Hydrothermal and Salinity Regimes

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Afforestation in the desert–oasis ecotone induces soil desiccation and secondary salinization. However, the seasonal dynamics of soil water–heat–salt interactions across plantations of different stand ages in arid regions remain unclear. Here, we investigated the seasonal patterns and coupled relationships of soil water–heat–salt dynamics in ...

The Impact of Climate Change on Soil Erosion Rates in the Chernozem Zone of Ukraine

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil degradation driven by accelerated water erosion threatens global food security. Quantitative estimates of soil erosion losses allow at‐risk areas to be identified and the success of soil management plans to be monitored. However, estimating soil erosion losses under changing climatic conditions is challenging, particularly at the scales ...

Long‐Term Combined Application of Biochar and Chemical Fertilizers Enhances Potassium Supply Capacity in Continuous Cropping Soils

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustaining soil potassium (K) supply in intensive continuous cropping systems is increasingly challenging because long‐term crop removal often exceeds the natural replenishment capacity of soil K‐bearing minerals, leading to progressive depletion of plant‐available K pools.

Annual–Perennial Forage Mixtures Improve Forage Productivity and Soil Quality in Patchily Degraded Cultivated Pastures Under Grazing Management

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Patchy degradation of cultivated pastures under long‐term grazing is a serious issue limiting grassland productivity. The use of annual and perennial legume–grass mixtures, which offer complementary functional advantages, may provide a practical reseeding‐based approach for improving patchily degraded cultivated pastures; however, limited ...
