Spatial Lock‐In and Reclamation Delay in Coal‐Subsidence Landscapes: Land Degradation Under Passive Water‐Retention Strategies

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In coal‐grain composite regions, intensive underground coal extraction causes large‐scale surface subsidence; under shallow groundwater conditions, these subsided landscapes rapidly transform former croplands into persistent open water bodies, creating long‐term inundated landscapes. Passive water‐retention strategies in these areas often rely

Contributions of Vegetation Restoration to Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration in Deserts of China: A Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vegetation restoration has been widely used to curb desertification in northern and central desert shifting sandy lands of China. However, the general pattern, variability, and drivers of its effects on soil organic carbon (SOC) remain unclear.

Straw Return Combined With Nitrogen Fertilizer Application Improve Nitrogen Utilization Efficiency by Regulating Soil Physical and Chemical Properties in Spring Maize

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Straw return (SR) and controlled‐release nitrogen fertilizers application can improve soil structure, enhance soil water retention, and promote crop growth. However, the mechanisms through which SR and controlled‐release nitrogen fertilizers application jointly modulate soil physical and chemical properties remain unclear.

Ecological Restoration of Degraded Mining Soils Through Key‐Layer Construction Using Industrial By‐Products: A Comprehensive Analysis of Soil Physics, Microbiology, and Maize Yield

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coal mining severely degrades soil profiles and ecosystem functions, highlighting the need for effective reclamation. Reconstructing soil profiles with industrial solid wastes offers a promising waste‐to‐resource approach, but the ecological effects of different engineered key‐layer materials remain unclear.

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

open access: yesLand 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

open access: yesLand 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
