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

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

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 ...

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 ...

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,

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 ...

Dynamic Modelling of Water and Wind Erosion in Australia over the Past Two Decades
Remote Sensing, 2022 Soil erosion caused by water and wind is a complicated natural process that has been accelerated by human activity. It results in increasing areas of land degradation, which further threaten the productive potential of landscapes.
