Ecological Functional Zoning and Multi‐Scenario Prediction in the Core Economic Region of a Tropical Island: A Case Study of the Haikou Economic Circle, China

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10746-10762, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Ecological zoning, by accurately identifying regional ecological issues, supports the mitigation of ecological and environmental challenges brought by rapid urbanization. It plays a crucial role in advancing national ecological civilization and high‐quality urban development.

Iron/Manganese Oxide‐Bound Nitrogen Suppresses Microbial Mediated Nitrate Reduction in Soil

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10784-10794, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Nitrogen cycling plays a pivotal role in sustaining ecosystem productivity and stability, while the chemical forms of nitrogen in soils critically influence both its efficiency and pathways. In this study, farmland soils from the Anning River Basin—an important watershed in Southwest China—were investigated to examine the regulatory effects of

Mapping Soil Salinity Prediction Enhanced by Time‐Series Remote Sensing Features

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10927-10943, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Gaining timely knowledge of soil salinity's spatiotemporal dynamics is crucial for accurate mapping. Through temporal span comparisons, this study systematically extracts and utilizes time‐series features (TSFs) derived from Sentinel‐2 and Landsat 8 NDVI and SAVI data (2019–2023) to enhance prediction accuracy. Three datasets were constructed:

The Unfolding Desert: Observed Structural Drying and Projected Aridity Risks in a Brazilian Family Farming Citizenship Territory

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10944-10959, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aridification in Semiarid regions is a recurring theme in Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports and has been documented in Northeastern Brazil. This study analyzes the spatiotemporal dynamics of aridification in the Lower São Francisco River “Citizenship Territory” (Sergipe and Alagoas) at a fine spatial resolution (~1 km ...

Integrating Ecosystem Service Benefits to Assess Ecosystem Health and Its Response to Land Spatial Structure Conflicts in Anning River Basin, China

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11186-11206, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Land spatial structure conflicts (LSSC) weaken the actual benefits of ecosystem services by inducing trade‐offs among them, directly threatening regional ecosystem health (EH) and sustainable development. However, most studies have failed to incorporate ecosystem service benefits (ESB) into EH assessments and have overlooked their response to ...
