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

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.

Future Soil Erosion Under Combined CMIP6 Climate Projections and Land Use/Land Cover Change: A RUSLE‐Based Assessment of the Kampe Omi Dam Basin in Nigeria

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion remains a major environmental challenge in Nigeria, driven by the combined effects of climate variability and land use/land cover (LULC) changes. Understanding future dynamics is essential for effective soil conservation planning.

Transcending the Space‐Bandwidth and Lighting Trade‐Offs: A Programmable Self‐Mixing Interferometry Imager for Cross‐Scale Surface Inspection

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
This work reports a laser diode‐based self‐mixing interferometry imager featuring illumination‐invariance imaging, a 500 kHz pixel rate, and an 8.77 µm lateral resolution. It also features a programmable field‐of‐view and leading space‐bandwidth product that surpasses existing technologies by an order of magnitude, enabling cross‐scale workflow ...

Femtosecond‐Laser‐Inscribed Cladding Fiber Bragg Gratings: Architectures, Design Trade‐Offs and Future Sensing Opportunities

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Femtosecond‐laser inscription enables precise positioning of fiber Bragg gratings within the cladding, introducing new spatial and modal design freedoms. Auxiliary‐waveguide, near‐core evanescent‐field, and direct cladding‐mode‐excitation architectures provide complementary pathways toward multiparameter, vector, distributed, and environmentally ...
