The Impact of Climate Change on Soil Erosion Rates in the Chernozem Zone of Ukraine

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil degradation driven by accelerated water erosion threatens global food security. Quantitative estimates of soil erosion losses allow at‐risk areas to be identified and the success of soil management plans to be monitored. However, estimating soil erosion losses under changing climatic conditions is challenging, particularly at the scales ...

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

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
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

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
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.

Assessing Soil Erosion in a Typical Karst Region: A Model Improved by Bedrock Exposure Rate in Guizhou Province

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion is a major environmental challenge in karst regions of Southwest China, where thin soils and high bedrock exposure accelerate land degradation. This study modified the RUSLE model by incorporating bedrock exposure rate to improve erosion simulation in Guizhou Province from 2000 to 2024.

Land Use Spatial Optimization Based on Multi‐Objective Ant Colony Algorithm and FLUS Model: A Case Study of Korla City and Tiemenguan City, China

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In southern Xinjiang, China, scarce land and water resources and fragile ecosystems have intensified land use conflicts, making land resource allocation optimization essential for sustainable development in arid oasis areas. Focusing on Korla and Tiemenguan, this study aims to coordinate economic benefits, ecological benefits, and food ...
