Extra Climate Benefits From Afforestation Due to Reduced Forest Fragmentation in China

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 47, 24 August 2026.
Afforestation in China reduced forest fragmentation in 2015, transforming 51.8 M ha of edge forests into interior forests. This enhanced carbon sequestration (1.4±0.2 Pg CO2e, a cooling biogeochemical effect), while reduced albedo (−0.9 Pg CO2e, a warming biophysical effect) partially offset the gain, yielding a net extra climate benefit of ...

Estimating ecological indicators of karst rocky desertification by linear spectral unmixing method

International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 2014
AbstractCoverage rates of vegetation and exposed bedrock are two key indicators of karst rocky desertification. In this study, the abundances of vegetation and exposed rock were retrieved from a hyperspectral Hyperion image using linear spectral unmixing method. The results were verified using the spectral indices of karst rocky desertification (KRDSI)

Spatial Heterogeneity and Nonlinear Influencing Mechanisms of Vegetation Carbon Sequestration Capacity in the Southwest China Karst Region

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Understanding of the spatiotemporal dynamics of vegetation carbon sequestration capacity (VCSC) in Southwest China's contiguous karst region is critical for regional carbon cycling. Using MOD17A3 data from 2001 to 2023, we analyzed spatial heterogeneity in vegetation net primary productivity (NPP) and applied Geodetector to evaluate nonlinear ...

Soil Diversity and Climate: An Overview of Profile Data and Acquisition With the WoSIS Global Legacy Dataset

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil profiles are the primary field evidence from which pedogenesis, soil classification and land‐use effects are interpreted, yet their availability remains uneven across climates and land‐cover contexts. Here, we analyse the World Soil Information Service (WoSIS) 2023 snapshot together with Copernicus Global Land Cover 2015 and the global ...

Restoration Approaches Regulate Soil Multifunctionality via Microbial Nitrogen and Plant Diversity in Northern Forests

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Explanation of the soil multifunctionality index by biotic factors and abiotic factors. ABSTRACT Long‐term anthropogenic disturbances have damaged forest ecosystems, and different restoration approaches after disturbance play a crucial regulatory role in maintaining and enhancing ecosystem functions. However, existing studies have mostly focused on the

Dynamics of Vegetation and Soil in Long‐Term Artificial Sand Control Projects in the Ulan Buh Desert

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study investigates the long‐term synergistic evolution of vegetation and soil in artificial sand‐control projects (using straw checkerboard barriers) in China's Ulan Buh Desert. By analyzing areas with different restoration times (0–15 years), it identifies ~10 years as a critical inflection point where plant communities mature into stable, near ...

Correlation mechanism between rocky desertification degrees and slope position factors in karst mountainous area of southeast Yunnan

Carsologica Sinica
As a kind of land degradation phenomenon, rocky desertification is one of the main ecological problems in karst areas in Southwest China. The key to the effective control of rocky desertification is to explore the distribution law and influence mechanism
