The Response of Rocky Desertification to the Development of Road Networks in Karst Ecologically Fragile Areas. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2023 Frequent cross-regional communication makes road networks increasingly dense and has generated prominent human interference, thus resulting in the destruction of the landscape’s integrity and leading to changes in the functional processes of the habitat. In order to discuss the impacts of intense human activity brought by the road networks on the rocky

Effect of Cultivated Pastures on Soil Bacterial Communities in the Karst Rocky Desertification Area. [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2022 Soil bacteria play an important role in regulating the process of vegetation restoration in karst ecosystems. However, the effects of vegetation restoration for different cultivated pastures on soil bacterial communities in the karst rocky desertification regions remain unclear.

Leaf-branch-root trait relationships in <i>Quercus rehderiana</i> across rocky and non-rocky desertification habitats in China. [PDF]
PeerJBackground Plant leaves, branches, and roots synergistically govern survival, growth, and reproduction. However, while interspecific and community-level studies have advanced our understanding of organ coordination, intraspecific trait covariation remains poorly understood due to limited evidence.

A study on poverty caused by rocky desertification in karst areas of China
Carsologica Sinica, 2022 Rocky desertification is a land degradation process that changes a karst area covered by soil and vegetation to a rocky, desert-like landscape, which causes not only ecological problems but also serious social problems.

Geologic factors leadingly drawing the macroecological pattern of rocky desertification in southwest China. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 AbstractRocky desertification (RD) is a special process of land deterioration in karst topography, with a view of bedrock exposure and an effect of ecological degradation. Among the three largest karst regions in the world, southwest China boasts the largest RD area and highest diversity of karst landscapes.
