The challenge and future of rocky desertification control in karst areas in southwest China [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2016 Karst rocky desertification occurs after vegetation deteriorates as a result of intensive land use, which leads to severe water loss and soil erosion and exposes basement rocks, creating a rocky landscape.

A Review of Village Ecosystem Vulnerability and Resilience: Implications for the Rocky Desertification Control. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2022 Under the background of global environmental change, a huge impact has been made on the village ecosystem, which leads to disorder of structure and function of the village ecosystem. The current management measures of the village have failed in allowing the village to achieve sustainable development.

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.

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.
