Cropland Suitability–Use Mismatches and Differentiated Zoning Regulation in the North China Plain: Implications for Spatially Optimised and Sustainable Land Use

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cropland distribution is often shaped by historical cultivation patterns rather than natural suitability, leading to mismatches between actual land use and agricultural production potential. However, their extent and spatial characteristics remain insufficiently understood in the North China Plain, one of China's most important grain‐producing

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

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
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 ...

Biological Salt‐Pump Effect: Long‐Term Stand Development of Haloxylon ammodendron and Its Role in Reshaping Soil Hydrothermal and Salinity Regimes

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Afforestation in the desert–oasis ecotone induces soil desiccation and secondary salinization. However, the seasonal dynamics of soil water–heat–salt interactions across plantations of different stand ages in arid regions remain unclear. Here, we investigated the seasonal patterns and coupled relationships of soil water–heat–salt dynamics in ...

Moderate Biochar–Compost Mixture Is More Effective in Improving Biomass, Nutrient Fluxes, and Photosynthetic Outputs for Sustainable Land Restoration and Soil Fertility

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil nutrient depletion severely constrains crop productivity in degraded and saline environments. Strategies such as biochar–compost integration could be useful for sustainable agriculture and land restoration on a global scale. This study evaluated the effects of biochar (1% Bc), compost (1% Co), and their blends (0.5% Bc + 0.5% Co and 1% Bc

Stimulated Forward Brillouin Scattering in Subwavelength Grating Silicon Membranes

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
This work proposes a novel strategy to achieve large Brillouin scattering with independent control of the optical and mechanical modes using subwavelength silicon membranes. We experimentally demonstrate remarkably high Brillouin gain, resulting in an on/off Stokes gain of 3 dB and anti‐Stokes loss of 4 dB in a 6 mm‐long waveguide with 35 mW of on‐chip
