Establishing Monthly Benchmarks for Erosion Control and Vegetation Restoration Targets Across the Loess Plateau

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11500-11515, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Establishing scientifically grounded soil erosion control targets and feasible vegetation restoration strategies is crucial for high quality development of the Chinese Loess Plateau which is severely affected by soil erosion. Currently, the commonly used tolerable soil loss (TSL) is inadequate for addressing the spatial heterogeneity in ...

Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Soil Shear Strength in Gully Erosion at Different Developmental Segments of Subalpine Meadows

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11565-11582, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Subalpine meadows play important roles in biodiversity conservation and soil carbon sequestration, but gully erosion poses a serious threat to their ecological stability. Soil shear strength (τ) is a key mechanical parameter for evaluating gully stability and soil resistance to failure. However, the spatial variation in soil shear strength and

Do Forest Fires and Land Degradation Undermine Environmental Sustainability? Evidence From China

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11598-11612, September 2026.
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 ...

Implementing potential climate‐smart practices through diverse partnerships

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1584-1598, September 2026.
Climate change is one of the greatest threats to society, negatively impacting agriculture and crop yields. Globally, agriculture is also one of the largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sectors. Climate‐smart practices that are developed through diverse partnerships with scientists and practitioners are needed to decrease GHG emissions. We implemented

Intensifying Flash Droughts Aggravate Vegetation Ecosystem Vulnerability in the Monsoon Region of China: Evidence From Resistance and Resilience Responses

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The resistance and resilience of vegetation determine its ability to maintain ecosystem functional stability under flash drought stress. However, a research framework that quantifies event‐scale response characteristics of vegetation resistance, resilience, and vulnerability remains lacking.
