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.

Investigating the efficacy of tidal wetland restoration in enhancing aquatic food web resources for native fishes

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Endangered fish species, such as Delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus), in the San Francisco Estuary are threatened by a multitude of anthropogenic stressors. Tidal wetland restoration can partially mitigate these stressors by increasing food availability of aquatic invertebrate prey, but the efficacy of restoration remains ...

CrustCheck: a conceptual framework for interpreting biocrust trait–function relationships in drylands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Biocrusts are increasingly recognized for their contribution to soil stability, hydrology, nutrient cycling, and energy balance in drylands, yet practical field methods for assessing functional roles are limited. Existing approaches typically rely on cover estimates, taxonomic identification, or laboratory analyses, providing ...

Assessment of Trends of Spatial Land Use Changes using Geographic Information Systems and Landsat Images During the 1991-2016 Period

علوم آب و خاک, 2020
In order to plan and manage the land and its changes, it is necessary to identify and evaluate the factors affecting it. Land use / cover changes are one of the main factors in global environmental change that is defined as a change in the type of land ...

Biocrust restoration in novel climates: assisted migration, habitat amelioration, and varied community composition as climate‐smart techniques

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Successful restoration of terrestrial drylands depends on stable, fertile soils that retain water. These functions are provided by biological soil crusts (biocrust), suggesting their reestablishment is a critical step in dryland restoration.

Addressing multiple management goals during roadside restoration: reducing weed invasion and fire risk while enhancing native plants and pollinator habitat in semiarid, invaded grasslands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Roadside vegetation management efforts often target a single desirable outcome; however, we frequently have multiple management goals for restoration. Multiple goals may be achieved concurrently, but the efficacy of roadside revegetation methods is largely unclear, especially when multiple methods are combined.

Spatiotemporal mapping of agricultural drought using geospatial approach in the East Bale Zone, Ethiopia

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Agricultural drought significantly threatens food security, livelihoods, and ecosystem stability, especially in regions prone to drought, such as the East Bale zone. This study investigates the spatial and temporal patterns of agricultural drought over 30 years (1993–2024) by combining meteorological station data with satellite‐derived ...

Love your wet grass! Dry season grazing reserves show highest grass regrowth in communal semi-arid rangelands of Tanzania.

PLoS ONE
Land management by seasonal migratory herding, traditionally implemented by pastoralists, has allowed semi-arid rangeland ecosystems to remain productive and resilient to highly erratic, seasonal rainfall patterns.

Prioritizing Inclusive Practices for Rural Women Smallholder Farmers Participation in Climate Change Adaptation and Ecological Education in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.
Rural women smallholder farmers face climate change impacts alongside sociocultural barriers, limited resources, and restricted decision‐making power. A mixed‐methods review and participatory workshops identified 16 adaptation strategies and 13 inclusion practices, highlighting variation in stakeholder priorities. Organizational membership emerged as a
