Cereal‐Legume Rotation Benefits Soil Ecosystem Multifunctionality by Improving the Efficiency of Microbial Carbon Pump

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cereal‐legume rotation is regarded as an important agricultural management strategy for enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC) and improving soil ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF). The soil microbial carbon pump (MCP) exerts a regulatory effect on the production of microbial necromass as well as the SOC accumulation.

Cropland Suitability–Use Mismatches and Differentiated Zoning Regulation in the North China Plain: Implications for Spatially Optimised and Sustainable Land Use

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cropland distribution is often shaped by historical cultivation patterns rather than natural suitability, leading to mismatches between actual land use and agricultural production potential. However, their extent and spatial characteristics remain insufficiently understood in the North China Plain, one of China's most important grain‐producing

Carbon‐Fixing Bacterial Network Complexity Mediates Soil Multifunctionality in a Panax notoginseng‐Pinus armandii Agroforestry System

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autotrophic carbon‐fixing bacteria (CFB) are central contributors to soil carbon sequestration and biogeochemical carbon cycling in agroforestry ecosystems and can act as reliable biological indicators for evaluating agroforestry ecosystem sustainability.

Wheat Sowing Practices in No‐Tillage Systems Modify the Microrelief and Hydrosedimentological Attributes: RPAS‐Based Photogrammetry

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The microtopographic characteristics of terrain are modified by soil management and conservation practices, affecting water infiltration, storage, runoff generation, and sediment transport. However, assessing soil microtopography at representative spatial scales remains challenging and time‐consuming.

Late Pleistocene to Holocene glacial, periglacial, and paraglacial geomorphology of the upper Río Limarí basin (30–31° S) in the Andes of central Chile

Journal of Maps
We present a field-based reconstruction of the geomorphology in the Subtropical Andean mountains of the Limarí basin, semiarid central Chile (30–31° S). Fieldwork campaigns and remote-sensing analysis served for detailed geomorphological mapping at four ...

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 ...
