Asynchronous Response of Plant Productivity and Soil Aggregate Nutrients to Grazing Exclusion Duration in Alpine Steppe

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Grazing exclusion is a critical restoration measure for degraded alpine steppe ecosystems. However, research remains limited on the key factors influencing soil aggregates that affect plant productivity and the mechanisms influencing nutrient distribution across aggregates of different size fractions during long‐term grazing exclusion.

Long‐Term Operation of Photovoltaic Power Stations Promotes Soil Carbon Sequestration but Induces Stoichiometric C:N:P Imbalance in Desert Ecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil carbon‐nitrogen‐phosphorus (C:N:P) stoichiometry governs nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration in desert ecosystems, yet how large‐scale photovoltaic (PV) deployment, a cornerstone of global carbon neutrality, shifts these stoichiometric balances and whether such shifts enhance or degrade long‐term land function remain unresolved over

Long‐Term Nitrogen Addition Weakens the Linkage Between Phosphorus Cycling Gene Abundance and Phosphatase Activity Through Soil Acidification in a Larix gmelinii Plantation

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) enrichment propels global forest ecosystems toward phosphorus (P) limitation, theoretically triggering the upregulation of microbial P‐acquisition capacity to maintain stoichiometric balance. However, the extent to which N addition regulates this adaptive capacity remains uncertain.

Phytotoxicity Assessment of Ashes Generated From Household Combustion of Conventional Fuels, Mixed Fuels, and Municipal Waste

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The main aim of the study was to assess the toxicity of ash generated in household furnaces through the combustion of materials most commonly burned in individual households. The toxicity tests were conducted using plant bioassays with cress (Lepidium sativum), mustard (Sinapis) and sorghum (Sorghum) seeds.

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
