Exploring soil erosion in the lake basins of Michoacán, Mexico: From sediment cores to conservation policies

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding soil erosion, its history and links to potential drivers such as land use (particularly agriculture and deforestation), different cultural perspectives and climate change are crucial for the development of effective management and conservation strategies.

Influence of genotype and environment on field pea composition and milling traits

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The rise in popularity of field peas (Pisum sativum) can be linked to their advantageous health and nutritional properties. Field pea seeds, yellow or green, are often consumed as an ingredient after being dehulled, split, and ground into flour. This study investigated the effects of genotype, growing location, and their interaction

Effects of Seasonal Rest Grazing on Soil Aggregate Stability and Organic Carbon in Alpine Grasslands in Northern Xizang

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seasonal rest grazing is key to the recovery and sustainable use of alpine grasslands in northern Xizang. Postgrazing changes in soil structure and organic carbon stability are indicative of grassland recovery. However, the mechanisms by which seasonal rest grazing affects these soil properties remain unclear.

Grazing Affects Soil Organic Carbon Stocks Directly and Indirectly Through Herbaceous Species Diversity in Sahelian Savanna Ecosystems

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The impact of livestock grazing on soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks in the Sahel has been poorly documented due to a lack of data from different grazing intensities. This study evaluated SOC stocks under four grazing intensities within 0–30 cm soil depth in dry savanna ecosystems of Senegal.

Community and Institutional Drivers of Deforestation, Environmental Impacts, and Extension Interventions for Forest Management in the Hindu Kush Himalaya

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deforestation in Pakistan's mountainous regions, particularly in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH), presents significant environmental, social, and economic challenges. Despite various control measures, deforestation persists due to institutional weaknesses and community pressures.
