Willingness to Pay for the Conservation of Natural Resources: The Case of Sepidan Land and Rangeland Restoration in Iran

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land resources provide essential ecosystem services (ESs) that improve welfare, making their conservation. Considering stakeholders' perceptions of the environmental importance of land resources and their desire to participate in the conservation value of these resources.

Deep Straw Incorporation With Supplemental Fertilization Improves Subsoil Quality and Maize Productivity

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deep straw incorporation is widely advocated for enhancing crop yields and improving agroecosystem functions and services. However, how this practice interacts with different fertilization strategies synergistically to influence soil quality and maize productivity remains unclear.

Ditch‐Buried Straw Return Improves Soil Physical Quality and Crop Biomass in Two Rice–Wheat Paddy Soil Systems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ditch‐buried straw return (DB) is an innovative practice combining deep tillage and straw incorporation. This study aimed to evaluate its effects on soil physical quality compared to rotary tillage (RT) and identified key constraints to crop in sandy‐loam and clay‐loam paddy soils within rice–wheat systems. Two field experiments were conducted

Native Perennial Vegetation Buffer Strips Improve Structural Indicators of Riparian Protection in Mediterranean Agroecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riparian zones in Mediterranean agroecosystems are highly vulnerable to degradation because cultivation often reaches stream edges and annual vegetation senesces during the late‐summer dry period, leaving soils exposed when the first erosive autumn rains occur.

Moderate Biochar–Compost Mixture Is More Effective in Improving Biomass, Nutrient Fluxes, and Photosynthetic Outputs for Sustainable Land Restoration and Soil Fertility

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil nutrient depletion severely constrains crop productivity in degraded and saline environments. Strategies such as biochar–compost integration could be useful for sustainable agriculture and land restoration on a global scale. This study evaluated the effects of biochar (1% Bc), compost (1% Co), and their blends (0.5% Bc + 0.5% Co and 1% Bc
