The role of tropical forests in supporting biodiversity and hydrological integrity: a synoptic overview [PDF]

Conservation of high-biodiversity tropical forests is sometimes justified on the basis of assumed hydrological benefits - in particular, the reduction of flooding hazards for downstream floodplain populations.

Efficiency of Vegetative Filter Strips in Mitigating Soil Erosion and Surface Runoff

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vegetative filter strips (VFS) are widely used in agriculture to reduce soil erosion and sediment transport during heavy rainfall events. This study assessed their effectiveness in controlling surface runoff and sediment transport under controlled field conditions.

In Situ Impact of Waste Polyethylene (PE) Films on Soil Quality and Plant Growth in Agricultural Soil

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plastic films have accumulated in soil ecosystems over decades of agricultural activities. These films potentially disrupt the soil structure, hinder nutrient cycling, and deteriorate soil quality. However, there is still a substantial knowledge gap in understanding how real‐world waste polyethylene films (WPEFs), with varied shapes and sizes,

Spatial modeling for detection of water retention capacity in technosols developed on carboniferous spoil heap after hard coal mining

Ecological Informatics
Post-industrial areas, such as heaps, are an Anthropocene pressure on the environment but show natural potential for new ecosystem services, i.e., water retention, biodiversity, and C-sequestration.

Runoff and Sediment Response to Different Fire Intensities in a Hyrcanian Mixed Broadleaved Forest Ecosystem

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wildfires are increasingly recognized as a critical driver of ecosystem degradation, with post‐fire hydrological and soil impacts posing significant threats to biodiversity, water quality, and long‐term land productivity. In fire‐prone regions, understanding how varying fire intensities exacerbate runoff and erosion is essential for guiding ...

Quantifying the Role of Vegetation in Reducing Erosion on Post‐Mining Landforms: An Experimental Approach

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For post‐mining landscapes, erosion rates need to be demonstrably similar to that of the surrounding areas. Post‐mining landscapes are assessed (usually with a numerical model) to determine their erosion potential both in the pre‐ and post‐construction phases. Field plots, which rely on natural rainfall, provide the most reliable data; however,
