Efficiency of Vegetative Filter Strips in Mitigating Soil Erosion and Surface Runoff

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vegetative filter strips (VFS) are widely used in agriculture to reduce soil erosion and sediment transport during heavy rainfall events. This study assessed their effectiveness in controlling surface runoff and sediment transport under controlled field conditions.

Plant Functional Composition, Ecological Niche Distribution, and Biodiversity Measures Across Urban Grasslands of Different Size, Localisation, and Type

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban grasslands (UGs) are among the most abundant type of green infrastructure in cities worldwide. They deliver a range of ecosystem services and perform numerous ecosystem functions. To ensure the multifunctionality of UGs, enhancing their biodiversity is crucial; however, owing to urbanisation effects and inappropriate management, UGs ...

Linking Relationship of Ecosystem Service Supply and Demand Into Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ecosystem services (ES) play a crucial role in sustainable development. We systematically assessed the spatial and temporal dynamics of ecosystem service supply (ES‐s) and demand (ES‐d) in China from 1990 to 2020 by using a supply–demand matrix integrated with land use/cover data. The findings indicate that in 2020, grasslands accounted for 28.
