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.

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

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 16, Page 11744-11760, October 2026.
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.

Cenozoic tropical carbonate platforms in the Santos Basin, SE Brazilian Margin

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 6, Page 2454-2487, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Tropical carbonate platforms accompanied the latitudinal shifts of the tropical belt throughout the Cenozoic. Their flat‐topped geometries were influenced by a specific set of processes, including climate and sea‐level changes, carbonate facies, tectonics and continental runoff.

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

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10697-10711, September 2026.
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.

Using the Radial Basis Function Network Model to Assess Rocky Desertification in Northwest Guangxi, China

, 2010
Karst rocky desertification is a progressive process of land degradation in karst regions in which soil is severely, or completely, eroded. This process may be caused by natural factors, such as geological structure, and population pressure leading to ...
