Effects of Composite Reclamation Models of Sea Buckthorn, A Pioneer Species in Semi‐Arid Regions, on Soil Quality and Microbial Communities

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Open‐pit coal mining severely degrades soil and ecosystem functions, constraining regional sustainability. Vegetation‐based reclamation has therefore been widely adopted as an effective approach to promote soil recovery and ecosystem restoration.

Application of Organic Superabsorbent Cellulosic Polymers (OSCPs) and Cyanobacteria on Reduction of Aeolian Losses

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Establishing biocrusts on sandy surfaces in harsh desert environments presents significant challenges due to extreme ecological conditions. To address these challenges, this study examined the effects of two organic superabsorbent cellulosic polymers (OSCPs)—carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and guar gum (GUA)—on the establishment of ...

Differences in Dust Emission and Near‐Surface Transport Patterns Among Three Surface Substrate Types

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil wind erosion is a major driver of atmospheric dust emissions and land degradation. Many studies have examined dust release from different substrates, but differences in methods and units still limit quantitative understanding of how surface conditions and wind jointly control dust emission and near‐surface transport. A closed‐circuit wind

Eroding Confidence in Gully Location Risk Prediction in Mine Pit Rehabilitation

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how rehabilitation measures, such as landform shaping, and surface finishes impact gully erosion risk could assist in designing less erosive rehabilitation. In this study we use high resolution digital elevation models of rehabilitated mine pits to explore risk factors for gully formation.

Trade‐Offs Between Maize Productivity Improvement and Topsoil Salinization Risk Under Shallow Burial Drip Irrigation in Semi‐Arid Regions

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drip irrigation is widely used to conserve water and maintain crop production in water‐limited regions. However, how contrasting drip irrigation systems shape soil water‐salt movement, water and nitrogen (N) use, and maize productivity in semi‐arid environments remains poorly understood.

Integrated Prediction and Analysis of Soil Erosion and Soil Organic Carbon Loss in the Dayekou Watershed, Qilian Mountains

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion poses a critical threat to ecological security in mountain watersheds worldwide. Predicting its dynamics and associated soil organic carbon (SOC) loss remains an ongoing challenge during the 21st century due to complex interactions among climate, land use, and topography.

Long‐Term Legacy of Exotic Pioneers: Over Two Decades of Biodiversity Monitoring Reveals Constrained Succession in a Restored Sanitary Landfill

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Long‐term ecological studies are critical for evaluating restoration strategies on challenging sites, such as closed landfills. This study presents a 23‐year biodiversity monitoring program (2000–2023) at the restored Southeast New Territories sanitary landfill in Hong Kong.
