Optimizing Soil Organic Matter Estimation Through Multi‐Factor Zoning and Tree‐Based Automated Learning

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil organic matter (SOM) is a key indicator of land degradation and soil functioning. It plays an essential role in nutrient cycling, soil structure, and long‐term agroecosystem resilience. The variations of surface cover, soil moisture and soil texture heterogeneity will affect the accuracy of SOM remote sensing mapping. This study developed

Synergistic and Trade‐Off Effects of Plant Communities on Slope Runoff and Sediment Yield

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant community functional structure plays an important role in regulating slope runoff and sediment yield on the Loess Plateau. Based on runoff plot monitoring and vegetation surveys in the Yangjuangou catchment, we used partial least squares regression (PLSR) and variable importance in projection (VIP) analysis to assess the effects of ...

Effects of Organic Fertilizer Substitutions on Latex Yield and Soil Fertility in Hevea brasiliensis Plantations: A Case Study in Southern Philippines

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rubber plantations can be a major source of income for small landholder farmers in rural communities across Southern Asia. However, rising fertilizer costs and progressive soil degradation threaten long‐term productivity and economic viability.

Effect of Stand Density on Soil Microbial Carbon and Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Robinia pseudoacacia Plantations in the Loess Hilly‐Gully Region, China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil microbial carbon (CUE) and nitrogen (NUE) use efficiency are critical for soil carbon (C) sequestration and nitrogen (N) availability. However, how microbial CUE and NUE respond to stand density is unclear. Furthermore, it remains unclear whether the response of microbial CUE and NUE to stand density could be mediated by soil depth.

Litter quality and its effect on litter decomposition and macro-decomposers in alpine soils

, 2019
Alpines Grasland entstand durch Jahrhunderte extensiver Bewirtschaftung und beherbergt eine einzigartige Flora und Fauna, welche etliche Ökosystemleistungen bereitstellen. Jedoch werden diese seit 1950 aufgelassen, was zur Verbuschung führt und die Pflanzen- und Tiergemeinschaften erheblich beeinflusst.

Forest Conversion Reduces Soil Water Retention in Tropical Rainforest

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extensive primary forests are being converted to secondary forests and plantations owing to human activities in recent decades, which have substantial effects on soil hydrological processes. However, the potential impact of forest conversion on soil water retention remains poorly understood.
