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

Lateral Carbon Transport Induced by Watershed Erosion: Driving Effects of Land Use, Rainfall, and Landscape Controls

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lateral carbon transport induced by soil erosion is a key component of the global carbon cycle. Over the past 50 years, ecological restoration projects in the Loess Plateau of China have increased vegetation coverage. However, the effects of land use, precipitation variability, and landscape factors on lateral carbon transport remain unclear ...

Mapping Soil Salinity Prediction Enhanced by Time‐Series Remote Sensing Features

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gaining timely knowledge of soil salinity's spatiotemporal dynamics is crucial for accurate mapping. Through temporal span comparisons, this study systematically extracts and utilizes time‐series features (TSFs) derived from Sentinel‐2 and Landsat 8 NDVI and SAVI data (2019–2023) to enhance prediction accuracy. Three datasets were constructed:

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 ...

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 ...
