Wheat Sowing Practices in No‐Tillage Systems Modify the Microrelief and Hydrosedimentological Attributes: RPAS‐Based Photogrammetry

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The microtopographic characteristics of terrain are modified by soil management and conservation practices, affecting water infiltration, storage, runoff generation, and sediment transport. However, assessing soil microtopography at representative spatial scales remains challenging and time‐consuming.

Integrating X‐Ray Computed Tomography and Hydraulic Properties for Soil Quality Assessment Under Soil Compaction

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil compaction poses a significant threat to soil quality and sustainability, necessitating advanced assessment methods. We hypothesized that incorporating x‐ray computed tomography (XCT)‐derived pore characteristics with hydraulic properties would significantly enhance the development of a soil quality index (SQI) under soil compaction ...

Back Analysis of Rainfall-Induced Landslide in Cimanggung District of Sumedang Regency in West Java Using Deterministic and Probabilistic Analyses

Geosciences
Rainfall-induced landslides are widespread in Indonesia, particularly in West Java, where volcanic residual soils are typically stable but may become unstable during heavy rainfall. This study aims to back analyze the geotechnical factors contributing to

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 ...

Annual–Perennial Forage Mixtures Improve Forage Productivity and Soil Quality in Patchily Degraded Cultivated Pastures Under Grazing Management

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Patchy degradation of cultivated pastures under long‐term grazing is a serious issue limiting grassland productivity. The use of annual and perennial legume–grass mixtures, which offer complementary functional advantages, may provide a practical reseeding‐based approach for improving patchily degraded cultivated pastures; however, limited ...

Rainfall infiltration model considering spatial variability of multiple layers in transition layer and its application in slope stability analysis

Yantu gongcheng xuebao
Establishing a reasonable rainfall infiltration model is an important prerequisite for revealing the rainfall-induced slope failure mechanism and disaster prevention and control. The traditional Green-Ampt model does not consider the distribution of soil

Integrating Machine Learning and StoDyM for Check Dam Site Selection on the Loess Plateau, China

Land 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.

Straw Return Combined With Nitrogen Fertilizer Application Improve Nitrogen Utilization Efficiency by Regulating Soil Physical and Chemical Properties in Spring Maize

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Straw return (SR) and controlled‐release nitrogen fertilizers application can improve soil structure, enhance soil water retention, and promote crop growth. However, the mechanisms through which SR and controlled‐release nitrogen fertilizers application jointly modulate soil physical and chemical properties remain unclear.

Optimization of Land Pattern in Mining Area Based on the Improvement of Ecosystem Service Function—A Case Study of Fushun Mining Area

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mining activities are prevalent worldwide and pose significant threats to the supply of ecosystem services (ESs) for humanity. Many mining areas face challenges related to recovery and reclamation following resource depletion. A key challenge for the sustainable development of these areas is how to achieve collaborative optimization of land ...

Pedo‐Climatic Controls on Soil Health Recovery Across Cultivation Chronosequences: Hydraulic Conductivity as a Potential Link Between Soil Structure, Microbial Biomass, and Nutrient Availability

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Long‐term cultivation can improve soil health, but recovery may not follow the same pathway across contrasting soil and climate conditions. A key unresolved question is whether soil health recovery is mainly associated with the release of physical–chemical constraints or with the gradual rebuilding of carbon, microbial biomass, and nutrient ...
