Soil Fugitive Dust Pollution in Bole City Near Sayram Lake. [PDF]

Geohealth
Abstract Soil fugitive dust significantly degrades air quality in arid regions like Bole City, China. To address methodological limitations causing Particulate matter (PM) overestimation, this study aimed to: (a) Develop a refined 2021 inventory for PM10 and PM2.5 soil dust emissions in Bole City by integrating localized particle size data and the ...

Neglecting non-photosynthetic vegetation leads to serious underestimation of the wind erosion prevention service provided by the Grain for Green Program in Inner Mongolia, China

International Journal of Digital Earth
Wind erosion is a major driver of land degradation in drylands. China’s Grain for Green Program (GGP) aims to mitigate this by converting cropland to forest and grassland.

Spatiotemporal Variation of Ecological Quality in the Yinshan Mountains Detected by MODIS Remote Sensing Indicators. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
A comprehensive ecological index MRSEI based on MODIS was proposed. The new indicators of greenness, humidity, and dryness are more applicable to the ecological evaluation of the desertification steppes. The introduction of comprehensive salinity index can effectively reflect the issue of soil salinization. FROM‐TO vector transformation can effectively

The impact of ecological restoration on ecosystem services change modulated by drought and rising CO2

Global Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 18, Page 5304-5320, September 2023., 2023
We explored how the impact of ecosystem restoration on ecosystem services dynamics affected by drought and rising CO2. Our results showed rising CO2 enhances the ecosystem services contributed by ecological restoration. However, the negative effect of drought can offset most or even all the ecosystem service provision enhancement of rising CO2 and ...

Spatiotemporal variability of the potential wind erosion risk in Southern Africa between 2005 and 2019

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 34, Issue 10, Page 2945-2960, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Regional assessments of the wind erosion risk are rare and vary due to the methods used and the available data to be included. The adaptation of existing methods has the advantage that the results can be compared directly. We adopted an already successfully applied methodology (ILSWE—applied in East Africa), to investigate the spatiotemporal ...

Monitoring of sustainable land management using remotely sensed vegetation cover and variable tolerable soil erosion targets across New South Wales, Australia

Soil Use and Management, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 849-866, April 2023., 2023
Abstract The monitoring of land management practices is vital for the protection of soil resource and the environment. Here, we present a new approach to monitor sustainable land management using widely available remotely sensed data, such as MODIS fractional vegetation cover data. The method is based on the concept of maintaining sufficient vegetation

Large‐scale deployment of grass in crop rotations as a multifunctional climate mitigation strategy

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 15, Issue 2, Page 166-184, February 2023., 2023
The agriculture sector can contribute to climate change mitigation by reducing GHG emissions, increasing carbon sequestration, and substituting GHG intensive materials with biomass. The sector also needs to address environmental impacts caused by historic and current practices.

European Soil Data Centre 2.0: Soil data and knowledge in support of the EU policies

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 73, Issue 6, November–December 2022., 2022
Abstract The European Soil Data Centre (ESDAC), hosted by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC), is the focal point for soil data, support to policy making and awareness raising for the European Union (EU). Established in 2006 to provide harmonised soil‐related information for the EU Member States, and ESDAC currently hosts 88 datasets,

Effect of the Type of Wind Data on Regional Potential Wind Erosion Estimation

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
The Agro-Pastoral Ecotone of Northern China (APEC) is a transitional area suffering from severe wind erosion. The wind data used in wind erosion modeling generally have different temporal resolutions and spatial station distributions.

Field measurement of wind erosion flux and soil erodibility factors as affected by tillage and seasonal drought

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 86, Issue 5, Page 1296-1311, September/October 2022., 2022
Abstract During periods of no or low crop growth in dryland cropping systems, tillage can reduce residue coverage and thereby elevate wind erosion risk. We measured wind erosion on a silt loam, Haplustoll soil in North Dakota (456 mm precipitation yr–1) in response to levels of tillage applied once in spring during fallow following a small grain ...
