Afforestation Partially Offsets Losses of Soil Conservation Services and Carbon Stock From Direct and Indirect Urban Expansion in China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban expansion has exerted both direct and indirect impacts on natural land and ecosystem services it supports, driven by increasing population and food demand, yet these underlying pathways remain insufficiently distinguished. Here, we quantified the losses of soil conservation services (water erosion regulation and sandstorm prevention) and

Determining the Optimal Water Storage Depth of Apple Orchards in the Chinese Loess Plateau: Balancing Soil Desiccation Mitigation, Plant Utilization, and Engineering Construction

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deep‐rooted plantations are central to dryland ecological restoration, yet their long‐term cultivation drives widespread deep soil desiccation, threatening ecosystem sustainability. While artificial water replenishment is a key deep soil desiccation mitigation strategy, the depth‐dependent positional effect of stored water on eco‐hydrological ...

Ecological Challenges and Strategic Responses to China's Quantitative Rigidity of Cultivated Land Protection

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Balancing food security and ecological sustainability has become a critical challenge for land governance in rapidly urbanizing countries. China has successfully maintained national cultivated land quantity through a comprehensive farmland protection regime.

Spatiotemporal Interactions of Land Use Change, Land Surface Temperature, and Vegetation Dynamics in China's Caohai National Nature Reserve

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use change (LUC), land surface temperature (LST), and vegetation indices is critical for assessing ecological changes and informing sustainable land management. This study investigates the long‐term interrelationships between LUC, LST, and vegetation indices in China's Caohai National Nature ...
