Linking Ecosystem Risk, Health, Services to Ecological Security Assessment in the Yellow River Basin: Spatiotemporal Dynamics and Nonlinear Driving Characteristics

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A scientific assessment of ecological security (ES) and its nonlinear mechanism for key driving factors in the Yellow River Basin (YRB) is of great significance for ecological protection and sustainable development. This study proposes an ES assessment framework, which links ecosystem risk (ER), ecosystem health (EH), and ecosystem services ...

Synergistic and Trade‐Off Effects of Plant Communities on Slope Runoff and Sediment Yield

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant community functional structure plays an important role in regulating slope runoff and sediment yield on the Loess Plateau. Based on runoff plot monitoring and vegetation surveys in the Yangjuangou catchment, we used partial least squares regression (PLSR) and variable importance in projection (VIP) analysis to assess the effects of ...

A Single Amendment With Flue Gas Desulfurization Gypsum Improves Saline‐Sodic Soil Quality: Evidence From a Decade‐Long Paddy Experiment

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Saline–sodic soils threaten global agriculture, and flue gas desulfurization (FGD) gypsum is a widely adopted reclamation practice. However, the associated long‐term (> 10 years) legacy effects and temporal dynamics remain poorly understood. We quantified the decadal dynamics of soil quality following a one‐time application of FGD gypsum (40 t

Land Degradation Pathways of Open‐Pit and Underground Mining in Karst Regions: A Spatial Indicator Assessment

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mining in the karst regions of southwest China threatens ecosystem stability and accelerates land degradation. Regional evaluation rarely distinguishes between degradation pathways in open‐pit and underground operations, due to spatial heterogeneity and geomorphological confounding effects.
