The rocky desertification management in Guizhou province under the localized governance system

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Guizhou Province has shown remarkable rocky desertification management results in this century. However, under the localized governance system, the division of Guizhou’s rocky desertification management zoning map has also shown its drawbacks. The conflicts arising from the localized governance system in China and rocky desertification management in ...

Desertification Risk: Bibliometric Analysis and Future Research Directions

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Desertification, driven by climatic and anthropogenic factors, is one of the most pressing global environmental challenges, causing significant economic, ecological, and social consequences. A bibliometric analysis was performed to identify research trends and gaps in the desertification risk topic.

Responses of bryophyte diversity, community and Chlorophyll content to rocky desertification succession [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Abstract Background : bryophytes have great potential for the restoration of rocky desertification. At present, research on the correlation between bryophytes and the rocky desertification environment is in its infancy, and basic questions about the ecological response of bryophytes to rocky desertification, including biodiversity, community ...

Wildfires' Cost for Societal Welfare: Economic Evaluation of Forestry Ecosystem Services Losses in Southern Italy

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forest ecosystem services (ESs) are garnering increasing public attention as awareness grows regarding society's fundamental dependence on them for well‐being. Forest fires, one of the major disturbances of ESs, are becoming more frequent and destructive, exacerbated in part by climate change.

Effect of karst rocky desertification on soil fungal communities in Southwest China

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Research, 2016
Karst mountainous ecosystems are associated with karst rocky desertification (KRD), which can greatly impact soil structure and function. Despite the importance of soil microbes as a major factor maintaining ecosystem stability, we know little about the effect on soil fungal communities of KRD in karst regions.

Structural stability of plant–pollinator interactions despite seasonal abundance of long‐tongued hawkmoths

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Seasonal environmental cycles affect plant–pollinator interactions by altering plant phenology. Periods of low resource availability can filter pollinators and reduce the complexity of interaction networks, but the extent to which the functional morphology of pollinators influences such filtering remains unclear.
