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

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10893-10910, September 2026.
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 ...

Assessing and Mapping Erosion Risk for Velikoy Sub-watershed within Coruh River Basin in Turkey

open access: yesDoğal Afetler ve Çevre Dergisi, 2018
Vegetation on earth surface is the integral part of the world ecosystems in functioning for varying spatial and temporal scales. Along with other benefits, land-use as a forest can dramatically reduce the soil erosion and water pollution by protecting ...

Heterogeneity and Controlling Mechanisms of Soil Organic Carbon Stocks Across Erosion Zones in China Under Future Climate Scenarios

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11061-11076, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil organic carbon (SOC), as a key indicator of global carbon cycling and climate change response, plays a critical role in regional ecological security and agricultural sustainability. This study employs three machine learning models including the LightGBM, XGBoost, and random forest to simulate the spatial distribution of topsoil SOC stocks

Assessing Soil Erosion in a Typical Karst Region: A Model Improved by Bedrock Exposure Rate in Guizhou Province

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11112-11125, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion is a major environmental challenge in karst regions of Southwest China, where thin soils and high bedrock exposure accelerate land degradation. This study modified the RUSLE model by incorporating bedrock exposure rate to improve erosion simulation in Guizhou Province from 2000 to 2024.

USING CLIGEN TO GENERATE RUSLE CLIMATE INPUTS

open access: yesTransactions of the ASAE, 2002
CLIGEN is a stochastic weather generator that produces continuous daily variables to drive process–based runoff and erosion prediction models such as WEPP. To test CLIGEN’s ability to generate precipitation–related variables, which are particularly important to runoff and erosion prediction, algorithms were developed to compute the R–factor, its ...

Impact of Road Network Development on the Spatiotemporal Soil Erosion in the Three‐River Source Region

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11207-11222, September 2026.
ABSTRACT As a vital water conservation region in China, the Three River Source Region (TRSR) plays a critical role in safeguarding regional ecological security and ensuring the sustainable utilization of water resources. In this study, the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) was employed to quantify soil erosion in the study area across three ...

Establishing Monthly Benchmarks for Erosion Control and Vegetation Restoration Targets Across the Loess Plateau

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11500-11515, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Establishing scientifically grounded soil erosion control targets and feasible vegetation restoration strategies is crucial for high quality development of the Chinese Loess Plateau which is severely affected by soil erosion. Currently, the commonly used tolerable soil loss (TSL) is inadequate for addressing the spatial heterogeneity in ...

Oasisification Yields Response‐Compensated Resilience in an Arid Endorheic Basin

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Rapid oasisification is widely pursued to strengthen regional livelihoods and ecological security in arid endorheic basins, yet it proceeds under mounting water scarcity and ecological trade‐offs. Whether such greening actually enhances ecosystem resilience—and through which components—remains unclear.
