Spatial Patterns, Driving Forces, and Potential Grain Losses of Non‐Grain Production of Farmland in Central Yunnan Urban Agglomeration, China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The expansion of farmland non‐grain production (NGP) poses a potential threat to food security and agricultural land protection, particularly in mountainous urban agglomerations. However, the utilization patterns, driving mechanisms, and associated production‐loss effects of farmland NGP in this specific regional context remain insufficiently ...

Rainfall‐Induced Physical Crusting Is Associated With Near‐Surface Structural Degradation and Strain Localization During Drying in Loess Soil

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rainfall‐induced physical crusting is associated with degradation of near‐surface soil structure, but its pore‐scale structural and mechanical evolution during drying remains poorly resolved. We combined time‐resolved X‐ray computed tomography (XCT), digital volume correlation (DVC), and surface‐aligned stratification to track pore ...

A Single Amendment With Flue Gas Desulfurization Gypsum Improves Saline‐Sodic Soil Quality: Evidence From a Decade‐Long Paddy Experiment

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Saline–sodic soils threaten global agriculture, and flue gas desulfurization (FGD) gypsum is a widely adopted reclamation practice. However, the associated long‐term (> 10 years) legacy effects and temporal dynamics remain poorly understood. We quantified the decadal dynamics of soil quality following a one‐time application of FGD gypsum (40 t

‘We want to be the hosts of this story’: Learning from community‐led approaches to data governance of land use for nature recovery

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Debates abound regarding how to use land for nature recovery and environmental governance. Such decisions require an understanding of benefits and trade‐offs, and increasingly rely on vast quantities of data, delivered through digital technologies.

Response of microannelids to tillage at soil-monitoring sites in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany

Soil Organisms, 2023
Soil decomposer communities of farmland are strongly influenced by a diversity of management practices. Among these, tillage is one principal disturbance factor for soil fauna.

Combined Effects of Thermal Cycling Aging and Reinforcement Content on the Ball‐On‐Disk Wear of Additively Manufactured Polylactic Acid Composites

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Thermal Aging and Tribological Tests of Additive Manufactured PLA Composites. ABSTRACT This study focuses on the additive manufacturing of pure polylactic acid (PLA) specimens and milled glass fiber (GF)‐filled PLA composites under thermal cycling aging and wear tests. Wear tracks have been analyzed via 3D optical profiling and SEM imaging.

An Integrated Statistical and Machine Learning Framework for Predicting the Dry Sliding Tribological Behavior of CFRP and GFRP Composites Under Environmental Aging and Loading Conditions

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract presents the experimental and data‐driven framework used to investigate the dry sliding tribological behavior of CFRP and GFRP composites. The effects of seawater, engine oil, diesel fuel, aging time, and normal load on the specific wear rate (SWR) and coefficient of friction (COF) were evaluated using pin‐on‐disc tests, ANOVA ...
