Land‐Use Thresholds and Spatial Regulation Oriented Toward Ecosystem Service Supply–Demand Balance: A Case Study of Jiangxi Province

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Imbalances between ecosystem service (ES) supply and demand constrain ecological governance and sustainable development. While spatial patterns of these imbalances have been widely studied, less attention has been paid to the land‐use thresholds and regulatory mechanisms needed to maintain ES balance. Using Jiangxi Province as a case study, we

Differences in Dust Emission and Near‐Surface Transport Patterns Among Three Surface Substrate Types

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil wind erosion is a major driver of atmospheric dust emissions and land degradation. Many studies have examined dust release from different substrates, but differences in methods and units still limit quantitative understanding of how surface conditions and wind jointly control dust emission and near‐surface transport. A closed‐circuit wind

Divergent Responses of Fungal Communities to Vegetation Structural Complexity in Degraded Roadside Slopes Across Climatic Gradients

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how climate and vegetation structural complexity jointly shape fungal communities is essential for effective roadside slope restoration. To address this, we examined restoration effects on fungal diversity, community composition, and ecological networks across three climatically distinct regions: dry‐hot valley, subalpine, and ...

Reclamation Period and Straw Type Alter Soil Organic Carbon Composition via CAZyme Families in Coal Mine Agroecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil organic carbon (SOC) stabilization is crucial for effective ecological restoration in coal‐mining areas, yet the mechanisms underlying straw‐mediated carbon sequestration remain poorly understood. This study investigated how equal‐carbon but different‐mass incorporation of maize (S + M) and wheat (S + W) straw incorporation, across ...

Integrated Prediction and Analysis of Soil Erosion and Soil Organic Carbon Loss in the Dayekou Watershed, Qilian Mountains

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion poses a critical threat to ecological security in mountain watersheds worldwide. Predicting its dynamics and associated soil organic carbon (SOC) loss remains an ongoing challenge during the 21st century due to complex interactions among climate, land use, and topography.

Low Soil Organic Matter Stability Exacerbates the Vulnerability of Karst Areas to Rocky Desertification

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Karst rocky desertification represents a severe form of land degradation and has traditionally been attributed to geological and hydrological constraints. However, soil organic matter (SOM), a key regulator of erosion resistance, is highly responsive to management practices, yet its contribution to rocky desertification remains poorly ...

Community‐Managed Systems as Nature‐Based Solutions: Effects of Elevation and Size on Floral Richness and Carbon Stock of Sacred Groves in Kerala, India

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Limiting global warming to 1.5°C–2°C requires rapid reductions in atmospheric carbon, highlighting the need to conserve ecosystems with high carbon stock potential. Sacred groves are culturally protected forest fragments maintained through traditional practices and represent community‐managed landscapes with significant potential as nature ...

Linking Hydrodynamic Transport and Nutrient Fluxes to Land‐Use Patterns: A Predictive Framework for Soil Conservation in a Mountainous Catchment

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the influence of land use on total suspended solids (TSS) flux and nutrient leaching within a mixed land‐use catchment. The primary objective was to enhance predictive accuracy for soil erosion and water quality by assessing hydrologic drivers critical for managing degradation risks.

Analysis of Carbohydrates and Glycoconjugates by Matrix‐Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry: An Update for 2023–2024

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of MALDI mass spectrometry for the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates is a well‐established technique and this comprehensive review is the twelfth update of the original article published in 1999 and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2024.

Two new rupicolous species of Tibouchina (Melastomataceae) from the Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Guimarães, Mato Grosso, Brazil

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Two new species of Melastomataceae, Tibouchina caducifolia and T. dispar, are described from the Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Guimarães (PNCG), Mato Grosso, Brazil. Both show characters typical of the Southern clade of Tibouchina, including stamens with villose filaments and villose pedoconnective appendages, suggesting that they likely belong to ...
