The Burden of Disease Attributable to Diet Low in Vegetables From 1990 to 2021: A Global Analysis

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021, temporal trends and disparities in disease burden attributable to diet low in vegetables from 1990 to 2021 were assessed. Globally, summary exposure value (SEV) and the age‐standardized rates of deaths and disability‐adjusted life years (DALYs) attributable to diet low in vegetables declined over

Influence Mechanisms of Spatial Optimization of the “Terraced Fields‐Gully Land Reclamation Project (GLRP)” Cascades on Erosion‐Transportation Processes in Watershed in the Loess Hilly‐Gully Region of China

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10712-10731, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Terraced fields and the Gully Land Reclamation Project (GLRP) are important soil and water conservation measures, widely constructed in China's Loess Plateau and other ecologically fragile areas in the world. However, under large‐scale governance scenarios, the impacts of the “terraced fields‐GLRP” cascade system on water and sediment ...

Lateral Carbon Transport Induced by Watershed Erosion: Driving Effects of Land Use, Rainfall, and Landscape Controls

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10893-10910, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Lateral carbon transport induced by soil erosion is a key component of the global carbon cycle. Over the past 50 years, ecological restoration projects in the Loess Plateau of China have increased vegetation coverage. However, the effects of land use, precipitation variability, and landscape factors on lateral carbon transport remain unclear ...

Integrating X‐Ray Computed Tomography and Hydraulic Properties for Soil Quality Assessment Under Soil Compaction

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10960-10978, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil compaction poses a significant threat to soil quality and sustainability, necessitating advanced assessment methods. We hypothesized that incorporating x‐ray computed tomography (XCT)‐derived pore characteristics with hydraulic properties would significantly enhance the development of a soil quality index (SQI) under soil compaction ...

Moss Biocrusts Regulate Heavy Metal Speciation and Mobility in Coal Mine Soils

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10979-10992, September 2026.
ABSTRACT On a global scale, coal mining activities often lead to heavy metal(loid) contamination in soils of mine dump sites, posing serious ecological risks. As ecosystem “engineers,” biological soil crusts (biocrusts)—especially moss crust—have shown great potential in remediating heavy metal‐polluted soils, but their roles remain underexplored.

Distribution of soil organic C, N and P in three adjacent land use patterns in the northern Loess Plateau, China

, 2009
The northern Loess Plateau is an important cropping-pastoral ecotone and wind-water erosion crisscross region in China, but the distribution of soil organic carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in different land uses across this vulnerable ...

Heterogeneity and Controlling Mechanisms of Soil Organic Carbon Stocks Across Erosion Zones in China Under Future Climate Scenarios

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11061-11076, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil organic carbon (SOC), as a key indicator of global carbon cycling and climate change response, plays a critical role in regional ecological security and agricultural sustainability. This study employs three machine learning models including the LightGBM, XGBoost, and random forest to simulate the spatial distribution of topsoil SOC stocks

Integrating Machine Learning and StoDyM for Check Dam Site Selection on the Loess Plateau, China

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11077-11093, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Severe soil erosion in the Loess Plateau has led to significant land degradation, threatening agricultural productivity and ecosystem stability. Check dams, as a critical soil–water conservation measure, have proven effective in mitigating sediment loss and reclaiming farmland.

Effects of 22 years of re-vegetation on soil quality in the semi-arid area of the Loess Plateau

, 2009
Re-vegetation is an important practice for eco-environmental rebuilding of degraded environments. Accordingly, re-vegetation has been widely used to reduce erosion and protect soils against degradation in the Loess Plateau.
