Significant Imbalance Between Human Activities and Ecosystem Services in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China: Evidence From an Improved Coupling Coordination Degree Model

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Maintaining balanced interactions between humans and ecosystems in plateau regions is critical to achieving global sustainable development. However, existing methodologies are insufficient to fully elucidate the complex coupling and coordination relationships between human activities and ecosystems, as well as the sustainable development ...

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.

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 ...

Soil and Forest Degradation Driven by Cattle Grazing and Selective Logging in Sub‐Antarctic Nothofagus Ecosystems of Patagonia

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil and forest degradation driven by chronic land‐use pressures is an increasingly widespread process in forested landscapes worldwide, yet its empirical characterization remains limited, particularly in temperate and sub‐Antarctic ecosystems.

How glaciers exploit prior fractures to quarry beds of partially intact rock

Journal of Glaciology
Quarrying is a significant, locally dominant glacial erosion process. For settings where glaciers cut into partially intact bedrock, prior work has hypothesized that it occurs when glaciers impose spatially concentrated loads to drive fracture growth in ...
