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

Land 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.

From Trapped to Resilient Mountains: Diversified Coupling Pathways Linking Land Use Transition and Rural Revitalization for Mountain Sustainable Development

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The synergistic interplay among land use transition, rural revitalization, and sustainable development is critical for harmonizing human‐land‐economic systems. Understanding their diverse coupling pathways is key to resolving human‐land conflicts and advancing sustainable rural development in mountainous regions. However, existing research has

Land‐Use Thresholds and Spatial Regulation Oriented Toward Ecosystem Service Supply–Demand Balance: A Case Study of Jiangxi Province

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Imbalances between ecosystem service (ES) supply and demand constrain ecological governance and sustainable development. While spatial patterns of these imbalances have been widely studied, less attention has been paid to the land‐use thresholds and regulatory mechanisms needed to maintain ES balance. Using Jiangxi Province as a case study, we

Integrated Prediction and Analysis of Soil Erosion and Soil Organic Carbon Loss in the Dayekou Watershed, Qilian Mountains

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion poses a critical threat to ecological security in mountain watersheds worldwide. Predicting its dynamics and associated soil organic carbon (SOC) loss remains an ongoing challenge during the 21st century due to complex interactions among climate, land use, and topography.

Metasurface‐Enabled Single‐Shot Intensity‐and‐Phase‐Interrogation Surface‐Plasmon‐Resonance Microscopy

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
A metasurface‐enabled full‐Stokes polarimeter is integrated with phase‐interrogated surface plasmon resonance microscopy to enable single‐shot recovery of intensity and differential phase. The non‐interferometric platform supports quantitative refractive‐index and thickness mapping, wavelength‐resolved sensing, and dynamic multi‐channel monitoring ...

Why Use Immersive Virtual Reality to Assess Gait in Functional Motor Disorders?

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Functional motor disorders (FMD) are disabling conditions modulated by attentional demands. Immersive virtual reality (iVR) engages multiple attentional and sensory networks, but its application in people with FMD (PwFMD) remains limited.

Greater future range expansions in alien than native ant species

Oikos, EarlyView.
There is growing concern that many species may not be able to track suitable conditions under climate change and suffer range contractions as a result. At the same time, alien species introduced to novel geographic ranges are often assumed to benefit from climate change.

Area‐restricted search under realistic constraints

Oikos, EarlyView.
Abstract Area‐restricted search (ARS) is one of the most influential and widely used concepts in foraging theory, capturing a simple rule by which animals intensify local search following a resource encounter. Because ARS performs well in many spatially structured environments, it serves as a basic model for interpreting movement patterns across taxa ...

Stabilising Routines in Complex Emergencies: How Basic Service Continuity Shapes Perceived Security

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how locally embedded actors describe the relationship between basic service continuity and perceived security in complex emergencies, with particular attention to the stabilisation of everyday routines. Using Proximity‐Predictability‐Attributability (PPA) as an analytic lens, we trace how interviewees relate access to water,

Digital surveillance of animals and nature recovery

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Digital surveillance technologies (DSTs) are widely applied in nature recovery for their potential to generate novel data on species and ecosystems through digital tracking, automation (e.g. from hazardous locations) and from newly recruited citizen scientists.
