Estimating Soil Compaction Risk at Regional Scales Using Meteorological Data and Soil Spectroscopy

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil compaction is a significant form of soil degradation in Europe, reducing agricultural productivity, limiting carbon sequestration and increasing greenhouse gases emissions. In response, the forthcoming European Union Soil Monitoring and Resilience Law requires spatial assessment of topsoil and subsoil compaction risk at district, that is,

Restoration of peatlands and greenhouse gas balances [PDF]

, 2008
In this chapter the impact of peatland restoration on greenhouse gas fluxes is discussed based on a literature review. Casestudies are presented covering different peatland types, different regions and different starting ...

Spatial variability of soil properties and soil erodibility in the Alqueva reservoir watershed [PDF]

, 2015
The aim of this work is to investigate how the spatial variability of soil properties and soil erodibility (K factor) were affected by the changes in land use allowed by irrigation with water from a reservoir in a semiarid area.

Underground Lag: Fungal Community and Edaphic Legacies After Disturbance

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Páramos are neotropical mountain ecosystems that regulate water and store large amounts of carbon, but are increasingly degraded by agriculture and grazing. Although native vegetation often recolonizes after abandonment, belowground recovery remains poorly understood.

Development of Future Habitat Suitability Models for the Swift fox (Vulpes velox) in the American Southwest [PDF]

, 2009
The Swift fox (Vupes velox) is a habitat specialist species of short or mixed grass prairie. We used bioclimatic envelope models and habitat suitability models under three future climate scenarios (based on CO2 emission rates) from "www ...

Deep Learning Unlocks Behavioral Prediction and Neurobehavioral Decoding

Med Research, EarlyView.
This review evaluates deep learning frameworks that surmount conventional limitations through high‐dimensional nonlinear modeling, spatiotemporal dependency capture, and multimodal information integration. Focusing on biological behavior forecasting and neural mechanism decoding, we delineate cutting‐edge applications, including real‐time action ...

Herbivorous mammals adjust their feeding patterns according to the abundance of available diet to adapt to the effects of grassland degradation

Global Ecology and Conservation
The degradation of grasslands on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau has severely impacted the region’s ecology and productivity, subsequently affecting the dietary niche of the region’s herbivores.

Alpine flora of Kashmir Himalaya: floristic assessment, life history traits and threat status

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Alpine ecosystems in the Himalaya are considered to be at a higher risk to anthropogenic global change drivers. The Kashmir Himalaya, located in the north‐western side of the Himalayan biodiversity hotspot, harbors a diverse alpine flora, which remains systematically little investigated.
