Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Spatiotemporal variations of the two drought events and the different response of vegetation NDVI to both events were investigated based on multiple data in Guizhou Province. The 2009–2010 drought exerted a inhibitory effect on vegetation growth, while the 2011 drought exhibited a milder impact, even demonstrating continued green growth amidst the dry ...

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.The coordinated development of the agricultural eco‐economic system in karst areas faces severe constraints under the dual pressures of a fragile ecological environment and socioeconomic activities. Taking the main karst areas in southwestern China—Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou provinces—as case studies, this study assessed the coupling coordination ...

Study on comprehensive planning of rocky desertification in karst area of Chongqing
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2017 Chongqing is a key area for comprehensive treatment of rocky desertification in karst areas of china. Strengthening the comprehensive management of karst rocky desertification area, for the maintenance of ecological safety of Three Gorges Reservoir area, expanding the karst rocky desertification area people survival and development space, and improving

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.Steep water‐soil gradients in karst create niche differentiation, yet how widespread trees span microhabitats remains unclear. Along a moisture gradient, Delavaya toxocarpa and Tirpitzia ovoidea colonize xeric hilltops through high hydraulic trait variability that prioritizes hydraulic safety, whereas Litsea glutinosa depends on conservative stomatal ...

Kuwait Journal of ScienceTropical cockpit karst, characterized by hilly topography, steep slopes, and thin soil layers, is highly susceptible to land degradation in the form of karst rocky desertification (KRD). KRD occurs due to acute soil erosion in karst environments, leading to the exposure of bedrock.
