Assessment of Soil Organic and Inorganic Carbon Under Afforestation and Natural Vegetation Restoration Using Stable Carbon Isotope (δ¹³C) Measurements

Agriculture
On the Loess Plateau, vast farmlands have suffered from severe land degradation and soil erosion. Afforestation and natural vegetation restoration are two main methods for ecological restoration on the degraded farmland in the last few decades.

Artifact‐Minimizing Ultrathin Transparent Electrodes Fabricated via iCVD for In Vivo Optogenetic Stimulation and Neural Signal Monitoring of Primary Visual Cortex

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We present ultrathin flexible transparent electrodes through iCVD‐enabled molecular control of 10 nm gold films on poly(dimethylaminomethylstyrene). In vivo validation demonstrated photoelectric artifact reduction vs. opaque electrodes and preservation of natural neural dynamics.

The Economics of Land Degradation [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2013
Healthy soils are essential for sustaining economies and human livelihoods. In spite of this, the key ecosystem services provided by soils have usually been taken for granted and their true value - beyond market value - is being underrated. This pattern of undervaluation of soils is about to change in view of rapidly raising land prices, which is the ...
