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

Land 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

Earth'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.

A Multiple Soil Threats Assessment for Europe by 2050

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 9937-9952, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT European soils are exposed to multiple interacting soil threats (STs), challenging the European Commission's objective of restoring healthy soils by 2050. This study provides the first integrated EU‐scale projection of four major soil threats—soil compaction, soil organic carbon loss, soil erosion and soil sealing—under two IPCC climate ...

Forest Landscape Changes and Ecological Restoration for Sustainable Land Systems

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10035-10052, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates forest landscape changes and ecological restoration in Sichuan Province, China, to assess their contribution to sustainable land systems under climate stress. A theory‐guided multistage framework was applied to link Landsat‐based change detection, landscape metrics, habitat quality assessment, soil‐retention analysis ...

Integrating Multiple Approaches to Reveal the Spatiotemporal Pattern of Soil Erosion in Mollisol Watershed

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10355-10370, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Although numerous prediction methods have been developed, scientific estimation of the spatiotemporal pattern of soil erosion at the watershed scale remains challenging. In this study, fallout radionuclides of 210Pbex and 137Cs were used to estimate average annual soil erosion and deposition in a Mollisol watershed in Northeast China ...

MODELLING SOIL EROSION IN THE ALPS WITH DYNAMIC RUSLE-LIKE MODEL AND SATELLITE OBSERVATIONS [PDF]

, 2019
Soil water erosion is a creeping natural phenomenon, mostly related to weather and climate, and one of the main hydrogeological risk in Europe. It causes nutrients loss and exposes the environment to landslides, with negative impacts on agriculture, ecosystem services and infrastructures.
