Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rainfall‐induced physical crusting is associated with degradation of near‐surface soil structure, but its pore‐scale structural and mechanical evolution during drying remains poorly resolved. We combined time‐resolved X‐ray computed tomography (XCT), digital volume correlation (DVC), and surface‐aligned stratification to track pore ...

Synergistic and Trade‐Off Effects of Plant Communities on Slope Runoff and Sediment Yield
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plant community functional structure plays an important role in regulating slope runoff and sediment yield on the Loess Plateau. Based on runoff plot monitoring and vegetation surveys in the Yangjuangou catchment, we used partial least squares regression (PLSR) and variable importance in projection (VIP) analysis to assess the effects of ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mining in the karst regions of southwest China threatens ecosystem stability and accelerates land degradation. Regional evaluation rarely distinguishes between degradation pathways in open‐pit and underground operations, due to spatial heterogeneity and geomorphological confounding effects.

Effects of Caragana Korshinskii Kom. cover on runoff, sediment yield and nitrogen loss
, 2010 Soil erosion is serious in the Loess Plateau of China. Deposition of the eroded sediment in lakes or rivers may lead to eutrophication, because the sediment carries a lot of nutrients.

The performance of Detainment Bunds (DBs) for attenuating phosphorus and sediment loss from pastoral farmland [PDF]
, 2013 New Zealand relies upon phosphorus (P) to sustain agricultural productivity. However, P loss from farming systems to freshwater ecosystems can promote eutrophication; a global problem.

A Land Potential‐Based Framework for Wind Erosion and Sand and Dust Storm Source Mitigation
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wind erosion and sand and dust storms are a global challenge. While many management practices to mitigate sources of wind erosion and sand and dust storms have been documented, existing guidance largely emphasizes what practices are available, with limited information on where and under what ecological conditions they should be applied.

Automatization of multistep sample preparation for microplastics monitoring in aquatic environments
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Microplastics (MP) have been found in every environmental compartment in urban and remote areas. Although their ubiquity is widely recognized, the lack of harmonized protocols for sampling, sample preparation, and particle identification/quantification hinders comparability among studies.

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Identification of a chemical agent yields insights into its physicochemical properties. By examining the intrinsic characteristics and environment of a compound, information about its history can be gathered. The main objective of authentication/forensic approaches to chemicals is to trace the history of the compound's origin, regardless of ...

Nature‐based solutions for protected area governance: A systematic review
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Nature‐based solutions (NBSs) have been introduced as an effective approach for climate change resilience and a set of actions to conserve, restore and sustainably manage natural or modified ecosystems, while simultaneously providing benefits to human well‐being and biodiversity.
