, 2018 Considering their distribution, thickness, and complexity around the margins of the Quaternary ice-sheets in the Northern Hemisphere, loess sequences can be considered as one of the best records of global environmental changes on the continents.

Do Forest Fires and Land Degradation Undermine Environmental Sustainability? Evidence From China
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Forest fires (FFs), land degradation (LD), and ineffective land use reduce carbon sinks, disrupt ecosystems, and increase greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, creating challenges for environmental sustainability (ES). Addressing these challenges through targeted green investments (GIs) and effective land reforms (LRs) aligns with sustainable ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Coal mining severely degrades soil profiles and ecosystem functions, highlighting the need for effective reclamation. Reconstructing soil profiles with industrial solid wastes offers a promising waste‐to‐resource approach, but the ecological effects of different engineered key‐layer materials remain unclear.

Analysis of crack development in loess deep filled ground based on physical modelling tests
Zhongguo dizhi zaihai yu fangzhi xuebaoCracks are a common issue in deep filled construction projects, and conventional methods often struggle to accurately predict their development. To guide the anti-crack design for deep-filled loess projects, a prototype of a typical gully section from a ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Deep‐rooted plantations are central to dryland ecological restoration, yet their long‐term cultivation drives widespread deep soil desiccation, threatening ecosystem sustainability. While artificial water replenishment is a key deep soil desiccation mitigation strategy, the depth‐dependent positional effect of stored water on eco‐hydrological ...

Effects of Straw Incorporation and Tillage Depth on Soil Quality in Mollisol Profiles
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Although improvements in soil quality under straw incorporation have been well documented, responses across soil profiles under different tillage depths remain unclear. To address this issue, a field experiment was established in 2011 in Mollisols with conventional tillage (20 cm depth) without straw (CT) and with straw (SCT), no tillage with ...

Refining techniques for high‐frequency monitoring of chlorophyll a fluorescence in estuarine systems
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Concentrations of the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll a are commonly used as a proxy for phytoplankton biomass in aquatic systems. Traditional methods for extracting chlorophyll a in discrete samples limit measurement frequency, while in situ sensor technology provides high frequency chlorophyll a fluorescence measurements at a more ...

Clinical Predictors of Tic‐Related Impairment in Children and Adults with Tourette Syndrome
Movement Disorders, EarlyView.Abstract Background Tic‐related impairment drives treatment decisions for Tourette syndrome and related tic disorders. The clinical features most strongly associated with impairment remain unclear. Objective The aim of this analysis is to identify clinical predictors of tic‐related impairment in children and adults with tic disorders in a prospective ...
