Timing Matters: A Meta‐Analysis of BREAST‐Q Administration in Tissue‐Expander and Implant‐Based Breast Reconstruction

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background BREAST‐Q is the most widely used patient‐reported outcome measure following breast reconstruction, yet no consensus exists on optimal timing or duration of administration. We analyzed BREAST‐Q follow‐up after implant‐based reconstruction, comparing direct‐to‐implant (DTI) and two‐stage tissue expander (TE), to determine how outcomes

Annual survival and resource selection of juvenile male wild turkeys in central Tennessee

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Juvenile male wild turkeys in central Tennessee, USA, selected areas with smaller patch sizes and lower proportions of developed land. Annual survival was 0.73 and decreased as dense land cover such as young and deciduous forest increased and cover types with high visibility decreased. Abstract Documenting juvenile male wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo)

Alpine Secondary Forest Types Influence Soil Microbial Community Structure and Enzyme Activities on the Eastern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil microbial communities and enzyme activities influence soil functions and tree growth in ecologically fragile alpine regions. However, differences in soil microbial communities among secondary forests remain poorly understood in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau.

How Does Glucose Addition Affect Net Carbon Balance in Top and Deep Soils in Tropical Rubber‐Based Agroforestry Systems?

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The priming effect, which can accelerate or suppress the mineralization of soil organic carbon (SOC), plays an important role in soil carbon cycling. However, the impact of exogenous carbon addition on SOC priming in rubber‐based agroforestry systems remains unclear.

Predictive Ecosystem Health Assessment Under Land‐Use and Vegetation Dynamics in a Semi‐Arid Rift Valley Basin, Ethiopia

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land degradation driven by rapid land‐use and climate‐driven vegetation dynamics increasingly threatens ecosystem stability in semi‐arid wetland basins, yet predictive ecosystem health assessments remain limited in Sub‐Saharan Africa. This study evaluates historical dynamics and future trajectories of ecosystem health in the Ziway‐Shalla Sub ...

Root Order Dependent Changes in Fine‐Root Substrate and Soil Environment Regulate Soil Organic Nitrogen Fractions Under Acid Rain and Nitrogen Deposition

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acid rain and nitrogen deposition are important environmental stressors affecting soil nitrogen cycling in subtropical forests, whereas fine‐root decomposition represents a major pathway for soil organic nitrogen (SON) input and transformation.

Strategic Reconfiguration of Agriculture Sustainability in APEC Countries: Trade Exposure, Technological Transition, and Climate Constraints

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In developing economies, the agricultural sector enhances national food security, employment, and economic prosperity, while it is also closely linked to the ecological system. International trade, technological innovations, and fertilizer use are modern inputs to increase output; however, their unsustainable use leads to environmental ...

Land Use and Land Cover Analysis for Solid Waste Management in NCT Delhi Using Fusion Aware Segformer

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of Land Use Land Cover (LULC) analysis is a fundamental requirement for urban solid waste management (SWM); however, conventional LULC analysis methods are not well suited to the spatio‐temporal variability, multi‐sensor heterogeneity, and seasonal variations of highly dynamic urban environments.

Carbon‐Fixing Bacterial Network Complexity Mediates Soil Multifunctionality in a Panax notoginseng‐Pinus armandii Agroforestry System

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autotrophic carbon‐fixing bacteria (CFB) are central contributors to soil carbon sequestration and biogeochemical carbon cycling in agroforestry ecosystems and can act as reliable biological indicators for evaluating agroforestry ecosystem sustainability.

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 ...
