Carbon, Nitrogen, and Corresponding Stable Isotope Signatures Reveal Channel Banks as Major Sediment Sources in a Tropical Agricultural Watershed

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Uncertainties about the applicability of δ13C and δ15N as tracers of sediment sources in tropical river basins highlight the need for more in‐depth investigations of these isotopes. This study therefore assessed the effectiveness of δ13C and δ15N signatures in discriminating sediment sources in an agricultural catchment in Northeast Brazil ...

Numerical simulation of bank erosion in a typical seasonally frozen river-case study of the Songhua River, China

Shui kexue jinzhan, 2021
Bank erosion in the seasonally frozen river (SFR) is subject to the coupling effects between hydrodynamic forces and frost heave/freeze-thaw, and the mechanism is complex. Bank erosion plays an important role in channel evolutions of the SFR.

Winegrowers' Perceptions and Adoption of Sustainable Soil Management Practices and Technologies: A Case Study in Piedmont, Italy

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil is crucial for human survival but is threatened by erosion and contamination. Farmers play a pivotal role in soil conservation, thus, understanding what influences their decisions is crucial. The IN‐GEST SOIL project aimed to mitigate soil erosion and improve soil and vine quality in Piedmont vineyards, NW Italy.

Lateral Carbon Transport Induced by Watershed Erosion: Driving Effects of Land Use, Rainfall, and Landscape Controls

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lateral carbon transport induced by soil erosion is a key component of the global carbon cycle. Over the past 50 years, ecological restoration projects in the Loess Plateau of China have increased vegetation coverage. However, the effects of land use, precipitation variability, and landscape factors on lateral carbon transport remain unclear ...

Spiritual ecologies in transition: Bonbibi and the reconfiguration of people–nature relations in the Bangladeshi Sundarbans

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Local religious traditions serve as informal environmental institutions, characterized by socially embedded norms that guide behaviour without formal enforcement and influence human–environment interactions. This study investigates the role of Bonbibi worship as a system of moral regulation in the Bangladeshi Sundarbans and examines the ...
