Managing the Environmental Impacts of Outdoor Winter Grazing by Livestock
This review presents a synthesis of current knowledge about managing the potential impacts of outdoor animal wintering activities and their consequences for a range of environmental outcomes. The scope is confined to field‐based wintering approaches and thus, does not consider issues associated with the winter use of animal shelters or standoff systems.

Estimation of Cadmium Contamination in Different Restoration Scenarios by RUSLE Model
The Mae Tao watershed of Thailand faced cadmium (Cd) contamination problems from zinc mining for a long time until the mining area was closed to decrease the level of Cd concentration.

Mapping the “Supply–Demand–Flow” of Ecosystem Services for Ecosystem Management in China
This study develops a “supply–demand–flow” framework clarifies how ecosystem services move between regions by distinguishing potential and actual supply and demand. Using integrated biophysical–socioeconomic modeling, nine services in China were mapped.

[Objective] Soil erosion is a prominent ecological problem in southwestern Hubei Province. A reasonable assessment of the vulnerability of soil erosion in this area and exploration of its driving mechanisms are prerequisites for effective soil and water ...

This study optimized the slope and slope length factor (LS) and crop management factor (P) of the RUSLE model and then introduced the gravity centre model to analyze the spatial–temporal variation patterns of soil erosion in Yellow River Basin from a new

Erosion rates were quantified using field methods (137Cs, sediment loading) and two landform evolution models (LEMs), SIBERIA and SSSPAM, on a grazed catchment analogous to nearby mining sites, filling the gap in field data comparisons. Model estimates aligned with field data, demonstrating both LEMs' predictive potential for erosion in grazed ...

Fire effects consist not only in direct damage to the vegetation but also in the modification of both chemical and physical soil properties. Fire can affect the alteration of soil properties in different ways depending on fire severity and soil type. The

Abstract Decreasing reservoir storage capacity due to sedimentation poses great challenges to aging U.S. reservoirs, as it reduces the efficacy and reliability of their socio‐economic services. However, systematic assessments of reservoir sedimentation rates and associated issues remain limited because of sparse and infrequent bathymetry survey data ...

Abstract China faces significant spatial mismatches between steeply sloped cropland and gently sloped forest and orchard land. Optimizing the spatial distribution of cropland is critical for food security and ecological conservation in China, where cropland resources are scarce.
