Sixty Years of Sugarcane Monoculture Alters Carbon Preservation in Large Soil Macroaggregates in Tropical Soil

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Frequent and intensive tillage in conventional agriculture disrupts soil aggregates, engendering significant depletion of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks. Long‐term studies are essential for assessing the impact of sustainable practices on aggregate dynamics and carbon sequestration in sugarcane monocropping in tropical ecosystems.

Cropping History and Cropland Abandonment Period Influenced Levels of Soil Organic Carbon, Distribution of Aggregates and Aggregate Associated Carbon

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Knowledge gaps remain regarding soil organic carbon (SOC) storage and aggregate dynamics under varying cropland abandonment periods, particularly within the context of degraded and low‐SOC soils. This study aimed to assess the influence of cropping history and the period of cropland abandonment period on SOC, aggregate distribution, and ...

Impact of Climate Policy Uncertainty on Agriculture Development: Multidimensional Analysis From Land Use, Food Structure, and Carbon Emissions

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global climate change poses unprecedented challenges for agricultural sustainability, yet significant knowledge gaps persist regarding the multidimensional impacts of climate policy uncertainty (CPU) on agricultural systems. Previous research has primarily focused on isolated aspects such as land‐use changes, production decisions, or emission ...

Assessing the Acoustic Landscape and Vegetational Structure of a Mining Area Undergoing Restoration for Over 30 Years

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mining causes substantial changes in urban and natural ecosystems, making land restoration an essential step along the mining process and after mine closure. Here, we elucidate the soundscape and vegetation structure of a recently closed mine site under restoration over the past 30 years.

Seasonality modulates coral trophic plasticity in an extreme, multi‐stressor environment

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Corals with high trophic plasticity, i.e., the ability to change the relative contribution of heterotrophic and autotrophic nutrition to their mixotrophic diet, can have increased tolerance to individual stressors, but it is poorly understood how trophic strategies shift in response to combined global (e.g., warming, acidification) and local ...

Shallow landsliding and catchment connectivity within the Houpoto Forest, New Zealand. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Active landslides and their contribution to catchment connectivity have been investigated within the Houpoto Forest, North Island, New Zealand. The aim was to quantify the proportion of buffered versus coupled landslides and explore how specific physical

The grazing impact of megaherbivores on sediment accumulation and stabilization functions of seagrass meadows in a subtropical coral reef lagoon

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Seagrasses thrive in shallow lagoons between land and fringing coral reefs, serving as a buffer that mitigates the propagation of environmental stressors from land to reefs. However, mass grazing by megaherbivores poses a significant threat to seagrass loss, impacting the sustainability of tropical coastal habitats. Despite the urgency of this
