Nitrogen‐Fixing Woody Plants Sequester More Soil Mineral‐Associated Carbon and Lose Less Particulate Carbon Than Herbs Post Vegetation Restoration

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dividing soil organic carbon (SOC) into particulate (POC) and mineral‐associated organic carbon (MAOC) is crucial for understanding the formation, persistence, and functions of soil carbon. However, current understanding of the dynamics of new and old carbon in POC and MAOC following vegetation restoration remains unclear.

Significant Imbalance Between Human Activities and Ecosystem Services in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China: Evidence From an Improved Coupling Coordination Degree Model

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Maintaining balanced interactions between humans and ecosystems in plateau regions is critical to achieving global sustainable development. However, existing methodologies are insufficient to fully elucidate the complex coupling and coordination relationships between human activities and ecosystems, as well as the sustainable development ...

Nexus of Urbanization, Land Degradation, and Agricultural Sustainability: A Global Bibliometric Review

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rapid urban expansion has become a global concern that increasingly encroaches on agricultural land and threatens food security, environmental sustainability, and rural livelihoods. This study offers a comprehensive bibliometric review of global research at the crossroads of urbanization, agricultural land degradation, and food security.

Zagros Restoration: Smart Choices for Oak Forests

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Widespread forest degradation across the northern Zagros region of Iran driven by both human activity and natural processes has created an urgent need for targeted afforestation and forest enrichment strategies. Hence, the aim of this study was identifying the most suitable native tree and shrub species for restoring degraded forest areas in ...

Response of Soil Fungal Communities to the Alpine Steppe Degradation Gradient

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The degradation of alpine steppe on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau has become a critical ecological security issue. Soil fungi, as core regulators of grassland ecosystem functioning, play a pivotal role in mediating the feedback between degradation and soil ecological processes.
