Assessing long-term trends in vegetation cover change in the Xilin River Basin: Potential for monitoring grassland degradation and restoration.

Journal of Environmental Management, 2023
Under the influence of climate change and human activities, the problem of grassland degradation is becoming increasingly severe. Detection of changes in vegetation cover is crucial for a better understanding of the interaction between humans and ...

Contributions of climate change and human activities to grassland degradation and improvement from 2001 to 2020 in Zhaosu County, China.

Journal of Environmental Management, 2023
Grassland degradation poses a serious threat to biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human well-being. In this study, we investigated grassland degradation in Zhaosu County, China, between 2001 and 2020, and analyzed the impacts of climate change and ...

How does grassland degradation affect soil enzyme activity and microbial nutrient limitation in saline‐alkaline meadow?

Land Degradation & Development, 2023
Soil enzyme activity and its stoichiometry are excellent representatives of soil microorganisms' response to changing conditions, and act as a good indicator of microbial energy and nutrient demands.

Grassland degradation alters the effect of nitrogen enrichment on the multidimensional stability of plant community productivity

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2023
Nitrogen (N) enrichment threatens the ability of grasslands to support sustainable functions. However, we do not know whether grassland degradation can alter the effect of N enrichment on the multidimensional stability of plant community productivity.

Shift in soil bacterial communities from K‐ to r‐strategists facilitates adaptation to grassland degradation

Land Degradation & Development, 2022
Numerous studies have investigated bacterial community structure and bacterial responses to human management at various spatial and temporal scales in grassland ecosystems; however, research on soil bacterial community assembly dynamics in the course of ...

Sheep dung deposition disrupted the soil microbiome in degraded grassland but not in non-degraded grassland

Environmental Research
Grazing is the most extensive land use in grassland worldwide, wherein the soil microbiome is known to support multiple ecosystem functions. Yet, the experimental impact of livestock grazing and dung deposits on the soil microbiome in degraded grassland remains poorly understood.

Accelerated temporal turnover of the soil nematode community under alpine grassland degradation

Land Degradation & Development, 2022
Soil nematodes play pivotal roles in the soil food web. However, the trophic regulation on nematodes in the soil micro‐food web and its temporal dynamics are less explored.

Impact of grassland degradation on soil multifunctionality: Linking to protozoan network complexity and stability.

Science of the Total Environment
Soil protozoa, as predators of microbial communities, profoundly influence multifunctionality of soils. Understanding the relationship between soil protozoa and soil multifunctionality (SMF) is crucial to unraveling the driving mechanisms of SMF. However,

Integrating future grassland degradation risk to improve the spatial targeting efficiency of payment for ecosystem services.

Journal of Environmental Management, 2022
Spatial targeting plays a key role in improving the efficiency of payment for ecosystem services (PES). However, the risk of grassland degradation after implementing PES increases uncertainty about the efficiency of PES.

Convolutional transformer attention network with few-shot learning for grassland degradation monitoring using UAV hyperspectral imagery

International Journal of Remote Sensing
In recent years, the desertification of grasslands has increased due to various factors, including both global warming and human activities. It is an essential basis for grassland degradation monitoring to monitor the dynamic change of desert grassland ...
