Effects of Composite Reclamation Models of Sea Buckthorn, A Pioneer Species in Semi‐Arid Regions, on Soil Quality and Microbial Communities

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Open‐pit coal mining severely degrades soil and ecosystem functions, constraining regional sustainability. Vegetation‐based reclamation has therefore been widely adopted as an effective approach to promote soil recovery and ecosystem restoration.

Divergent Responses of Fungal Communities to Vegetation Structural Complexity in Degraded Roadside Slopes Across Climatic Gradients

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how climate and vegetation structural complexity jointly shape fungal communities is essential for effective roadside slope restoration. To address this, we examined restoration effects on fungal diversity, community composition, and ecological networks across three climatically distinct regions: dry‐hot valley, subalpine, and ...

Tree Species Configuration Shapes Soil Phosphorus Fractions and Microbial Communities in Uneven‐Aged Multilayered Chinese Fir–Broadleaved Mixed Forests

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) plantations in southern China are often limited by phosphorus (P) availability, constraining productivity and sustainable management. We hypothesized that multi‐species, multilayered, uneven‐aged configurations would enhance soil P availability by regulating P fractions and microbial P transformation. This

Integrated Prediction and Analysis of Soil Erosion and Soil Organic Carbon Loss in the Dayekou Watershed, Qilian Mountains

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion poses a critical threat to ecological security in mountain watersheds worldwide. Predicting its dynamics and associated soil organic carbon (SOC) loss remains an ongoing challenge during the 21st century due to complex interactions among climate, land use, and topography.

Cotton strips as a model substrate for analysis of leaf‐litter‐colonizing microbial assemblages in streams

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Leaf‐litter decomposition is a key indicator of the functional integrity of stream ecosystems and cotton strips have been employed as a standard substrate for quantification of litter‐decomposition rates in streams across the globe. Cotton strips also offer a standardized method for assessing structural integrity of stream microbial ...
