New medicine for soil restoration: biological soil crust capsules facilitate native plant and soil microbe establishment

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoration in drylands is challenging because of harsh climates, requiring creative methods and organisms like biocrusts for restoration of degraded lands. Biocrusts are thin, coherent soil surface layers prevalent in drylands, engineered, and inhabited by communities of organisms including mosses, lichens, and cyanobacteria ...

Legacy effects of livestock grazing on vegetation of an arid landscape exist more than 30 years after livestock were excluded

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Globally, livestock grazing is a key driver of vegetation degradation in arid rangelands. This degradation tends to be most severe near artificial water points which are focal points for livestock activity. Conservation reserves have been established on former rangelands; however, the timeframes for vegetation recovery following ...

Rainfall Infiltration and Macropores in a Hillside Slope

Rainfall Infiltration and Macropores in a Hillside Slope
Infiltration tests and a soil survey made on the slope of a hilly region indicate that the infiltration rate of rainwater decreased rapidly after rain began, that the final infiltration rate was too large for the prevailing soil character, and that coarse macropores occupy 5 to 10% of the horizontal area and fine macropores 7.8% of the volume.

Afforestation priority for multiple objectives at national scale: Italy as a case study

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Afforestation is increasingly recognized as a key strategy to address climate change and ecological degradation, offering multiple ecosystem services. However, strategic planning is needed to ensure that afforestation actions are ecologically effective and economically efficient by targeting areas where ecosystem service provision

Alternative approaches to dryland reclamation enhance vegetation cover and soil stability at a former uranium mine

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Conventional reclamation methods to recover dryland ecosystems after mineral extraction often have low success. Alternative reclamation techniques may help overcome the many challenges to establishing persistent native vegetation and stable soils.
