Reclaimed Well Sites on Salt Affected Soils: Electrical Conductivity and Sodium Adsorption Ratio as Plant Community Response Indicators

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Salt affected soils are common worldwide, resulting from natural causes and anthropogenic activities. Saline and sodic soils often occur in association with oil and gas production, impacting soil properties which can impede vegetation growth and development.

How the Physical and Chemical Properties Affect the Heavy Metal Content in Surface Water in Different Types of Peatlands

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Only ~3% of the global land surface is covered by peatlands, yet more than one‐third of global soil carbon is stored in these ecosystems and contaminant filtration can be provided. The extent to which peat humification (Fibric–Hemic–Sapric) is linked to dissolved heavy metals in peatland surface waters has remained poorly quantified at a ...

Portuguese Students' Perceptions of Soil Ecosystem Services and Their Willingness to Change Behaviour for the Future of Soil

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil is one of the most important non‐renewable natural resources, playing a vital role in sustaining humanity. Studies exploring how students perceive soil ecosystem services are considerably scarcer. Therefore, the main objectives of this study are: (i) to understand Portuguese students' perceptions of the importance of different soil ...

Restoring agricultural landscapes for land degradation neutrality and climate-resilient agrifood systems

The brief highlighted the challenges of agricultural land degradation, which threatens livelihoods and undermines progress toward biodiversity, climate, and desertification goals. It emphasized the need for a transition to agroecological and regenerative

The disruption of seed dispersal networks: disentangling the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation

Oikos, EarlyView.
Seed dispersal by frugivores is a central process linking plant reproduction, animal foraging, population persistence, and ecosystem resilience. Currently, the spatial template sustaining these interactions is rapidly reconfigured by habitat loss and fragmentation promoted by human activity.

A review of high nature value farming systems in Europe: Biodiversity, ecosystem services, drivers, innovations and future prospects

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Farming systems of high natural and cultural value represent approximately 30% of farmlands in the European Union and are associated with a high species and habitat diversity and/or the presence of species of European conservation concern. This study aims to synthesize the existing knowledge on the assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem ...
