Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Growing environmental pressures and climate‐related risks have intensified concerns regarding population health and sustainability. This study explores how the predictive relationship between public health and key sustainability indicators, such as agricultural emissions, forests, governance, digitalization, green energy, and climate outcomes,

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Urban expansion has exerted both direct and indirect impacts on natural land and ecosystem services it supports, driven by increasing population and food demand, yet these underlying pathways remain insufficiently distinguished. Here, we quantified the losses of soil conservation services (water erosion regulation and sandstorm prevention) and

The combination of mineral fertilizer with organic fertilizer improved soil phosphorus availability
All LifeLarge amounts of use of mineral fertilizers (MF) have brought about environmental pollution and soil problems, like soil degradation and acidification. The partial substitution of MF with organic fertilizer is considered eco-friendly and more efficient ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Environmental pollution caused by excessive nitrogen fertilization has become increasingly serious, making optimized fertilization and straw management critical for improving agricultural sustainability. This study involved a two‐year field trial with three fertilization strategies: conventional fertilization (CF), 23.50% nitrogen reduction ...

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

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Optimized fertilization involving reduced mineral N input and organic substitution can alter resource stoichiometry, microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). However, how fertilization‐induced resource imbalance reshapes microbial community to regulate CUE and NUE remains unclear. We conducted a field experiment

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Heavy metal (HM) contamination of soil–plant systems poses persistent ecological and health risks, driving interest in nanoparticle‐based remediation. Although conventional chemically synthesized nanoparticles (CSNPs) are effective, their energy‐intensive production and residual toxicity limit sustainable deployment.

Manure and Manuring System as Depicted in Ancient Indian Sources
International Journal For Multidisciplinary ResearchAbstract:-Agriculture was the basis of life in ancient India and was developed in a sustainable manner by maintaining balance with nature. The use of manure at that time was not just a means of maintaining soil fertility but was part of a holistic agricultural philosophy that ensured harmonious use of land, water and the environment.

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Livestock manure is a valuable agricultural resource but may introduce antibiotic residues and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) into the environment. This review critically evaluates the fate of antibiotics and ARGs during manure composting and identifies the principal factors controlling their attenuation.
