Saline-alkali land reclamation boosts topsoil carbon storage by preferentially accumulating plant-derived carbon.

Science Bulletin
Saline-alkali land is an important cultivated land reserve resource for tackling global climate change and ensuring food security, partly because it can store large amounts of carbon (C).

Urban ecosystem services, ecological security patterns and ecological resilience in coastal cities: The impact of land reclamation in Macao SAR.

Journal of Environmental Management
Land reclamation from the sea is a common practice to create territorial space and accommodate urbanisation in coastal cities. However, previous studies did not adequately examine the changes in ecosystem service values, the spatial transformation of the

Influence of Land Reclamation on Fresh Groundwater Lenses in Oceanic Islands: Laboratory and Numerical Validation

Water Resources Research, 2021
Fresh groundwater lenses in tropic oceanic islands are important freshwater resources for local inhabitants and ecosystems. These reef‐carbonate islands typically have a dual‐aquifer structure, with poorly consolidated Holocene sediments deposited ...

Simulation of the climatic changes around the coastal land reclamation areas using artificial neural networks

Urban Climate, 2021
For the last 20 years, Istanbul has intensely experienced land use/cover change (LUCC) as a result of both the direction of investment strategies to the construction sector and urban transformation works.

Analytical and Experimental Investigation of the Impact of Land Reclamation on Steady‐State Seawater Extent in Coastal Aquifers

Water Resources Research, 2021
Previous studies of the effects of land reclamation on the extent of seawater in coastal aquifers have assumed that the reclaimed area penetrates to the impermeable base of aquifer, and that the seawater in the aquifer is entirely contained within ...

Effects of surface coal mining and land reclamation on soil properties: A review

Earth-Science Reviews, 2019
Opencast coal mining has a series of consequences on land resources and places enormous pressure on the ecological environment. Stripping, excavation, transportation and dumping have different effects on soil physical, chemical and biological properties.

Land Reclamation in Iceland

Arctic and Alpine Research, 1987
Erosion is one of the most severe ecological problems in Iceland. It has been estimated that more than 50%o of the original vegetative cover has been lost since settlement in 874 and active erosion continues to be widespread throughout the country. Since its founding in 1907, the Soil Conservation Service of Iceland (SCS) has emphasized control of wind

Earthworms and land reclamation

1983
The objectives of land reclamation range from restoration of derelict industrial wasteland for amenity purposes to improvement of infertile soils for agricultural production. The success of conventional reclamation techniques may be limited by poor soil structure and low inherent soil fertility.

Land Reclamation in Italy

1968
Fascist Italy was concerned with its dependence on imports of essential materials and with meeting as many of its needs as possible from domestic supplies. There was little that could be done in some spheres (coal and iron, for example), but the regime did seek to increase agricultural production in order to improve both the balance of payments and ...
