Effects of (Assisted) Natural Regeneration on Infiltrability and Preferential Flow Pathways in the Khasi Hills (Meghalaya, NE India)

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 36, Issue 5, Page 1564-1578, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Intensified slash‐and‐burn cultivation and forest clearing have caused severe land degradation in the Khasi Hills (Meghalaya plateau, NE India). Despite very high annual rainfall, the region faces severe water scarcity during the dry season.

Determination of Land Degradation in Romania at a Local Scale Using Advanced Analytical Techniques

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 36, Issue 5, Page 1614-1627, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Land degradation (LD) threatens the food security and general welfare of many people globally. Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) is a pivotal goal within the global sustainability agenda, particularly under Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15.3.1, which measures the proportion of land that is degraded over total land area.

Efficiency of Vegetative Filter Strips in Mitigating Soil Erosion and Surface Runoff

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vegetative filter strips (VFS) are widely used in agriculture to reduce soil erosion and sediment transport during heavy rainfall events. This study assessed their effectiveness in controlling surface runoff and sediment transport under controlled field conditions.

Plant Functional Composition, Ecological Niche Distribution, and Biodiversity Measures Across Urban Grasslands of Different Size, Localisation, and Type

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban grasslands (UGs) are among the most abundant type of green infrastructure in cities worldwide. They deliver a range of ecosystem services and perform numerous ecosystem functions. To ensure the multifunctionality of UGs, enhancing their biodiversity is crucial; however, owing to urbanisation effects and inappropriate management, UGs ...
