Asymmetric Responses of Ecosystem Health to Urbanization in a Typical Karst City: Spatiotemporal Patterns and Driving Mechanisms in Guilin, China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban expansion can substantially reshape ecosystem structure and functioning, especially in ecologically fragile Karst landscapes. Clarifying how ecosystem health (EH) responds to urbanization and identifying the factors that drive spatial variation in EH are important for regional sustainability.

Afforestation Partially Offsets Losses of Soil Conservation Services and Carbon Stock From Direct and Indirect Urban Expansion in China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban expansion has exerted both direct and indirect impacts on natural land and ecosystem services it supports, driven by increasing population and food demand, yet these underlying pathways remain insufficiently distinguished. Here, we quantified the losses of soil conservation services (water erosion regulation and sandstorm prevention) and

Ecological Network Characteristics of Cultivated Land Carbon Flows in Major Grain‐Producing Regions: Case Study of Jingzhou City, China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land‐use changes related to cultivated land significantly affect the regional carbon budget in major grain‐producing regions, yet the ecological network characteristics of cultivated land carbon flows remain insufficiently understood. This study developed an integrated framework that combined ecological network analysis with spatial analysis ...

Plant Trait‐ and Soil‐Mediated Responses of Herbaceous Aboveground Biomass Across Community Types Along a Degradation Gradient in the Desert Steppe

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Grassland degradation profoundly alters the structure and function of desert steppe ecosystems. However, the responses of herbaceous aboveground biomass (Herb‐AGB) to degradation across different plant community types and the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.

Estimation Accuracy Obviously Increased of Soil Organic Carbon Content Based on Habitat Patches Scale Using Interpretable Machine Learning in Southwest China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although machine learning models have been successfully applied to estimate soil organic carbon (SOC), the lack of interpretability research has resulted in the absence of mechanistic explanations for these models. Therefore, in this study, we adopted the following workflow: first, we divided the whole study area into several subregions using ...
