Nitrogen Fertilization Temporarily Enhances Phosphatase Activity in a High‐P Loamy Sand

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Efficient plant utilization of soil phosphorus (P) is essential to reduce dependence on mineral P fertilizers in intensive agriculture. Input of mineral nitrogen (N) fertilizers and its chemical form may influence the activity of P mineralizing enzymes, but how this interaction operates under field conditions in a soil with high P ...

Research hotspots and development trends in the stalagmite field from 2015 to 2024 based on CiteSpace

Carsologica Sinica
Stalagmites are regarded as the fourth pillar for studying paleoclimatology and serve as important geological carriers for paleoclimate research. In recent years, there have been few studies in China that utilize CiteSpace software for the quantitative ...

Environmental Filtering and Microbial Interactions Drive Soil Bacterial and Fungal Community Assembly in Subtropical Forests

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil microbial communities are pivotal to forest ecosystem functions, yet the mechanisms shaping their assembly across complex environments remain poorly understood. This study examined bacterial and fungal communities within topsoil and subsoil under subtropical coniferous forest (CF), mixed conifer–broadleaf forest (MF), and broadleaf forest

Functional Effects of the Pioneer Fern Dicranopteris on Soil Fertility and Its Spatial Patterns in Degraded Hilly Landscapes

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vegetation recovery is vital for reversing soil degradation in subtropical red soil regions. This study evaluates the role of the pioneer fern Dicranopteris in enhancing soil fertility and its spatial variability across degraded hills in South China.

Combating Farmland Degradation and Abandonment: The Rehabilitative Role of High‐Standard Farmland Construction in China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farmland abandonment, driven by rapid urbanization and rural labor migration, has become a major catalyst for land degradation and threatens agricultural sustainability in China. While the High‐Standard Farmland Construction (HSFC) program was initiated to rehabilitate degraded soils and upgrade agricultural infrastructure, empirical evidence ...

Multi‐Scale Pathways to Integrated Protection and Restoration of Mountains, Rivers, Forests, Farmlands, Lakes, and Grasslands in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area: A Social‐Ecological Systems Perspective

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human activities have intensified eco‐environmental problems, challenging harmonious human‐nature interactions. However, existing integrated protection and restoration (IPR) zoning approaches for mountains, rivers, forests, farmlands, lakes, and grasslands (MRFFLG) focus on a single scale and fail to incorporate the ecological network (EN) and

Integrating Environmental Perceptions and Value Cognition to Understand Farmers' Livelihood Capacity: Evidence From a Rocky Desertification Area in China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rocky desertification poses a serious threat to the sustainable development of karst regions. Large‐scale ecological restoration projects for ecologically fragile areas not only improve regional ecological quality but also affect farmers' perception of rocky desertification control (PRDC) and value cognition.

Unraveling the Spatiotemporal Dynamics and Nonlinear Drivers of Green Transition of Farmland Use in Major Grain‐Producing Areas: A Case Study of Jiangsu Province, China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Promoting the green transition of farmland use (GTFU) in major grain‐producing areas is essential for ensuring food security and advancing sustainable agricultural development. However, existing studies on GTFU have predominantly relied on static cross‐sectional analyses, with insufficient attention paid to its nonlinear driving mechanisms. To

Research progress of nitrate tracing in karst groundwater based on CiteSpace

Carsologica Sinica
Nitrate (\begin{document}${\rm{NO}}_3^{-}$\end{document}) is one of the main pollutants in groundwater; therefore, once \begin{document}${\rm{NO}}_3^{-}$\end{document} concentrations exceed an acceptable level, it will have adverse effects on water ...
