Cropland Suitability–Use Mismatches and Differentiated Zoning Regulation in the North China Plain: Implications for Spatially Optimised and Sustainable Land Use

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cropland distribution is often shaped by historical cultivation patterns rather than natural suitability, leading to mismatches between actual land use and agricultural production potential. However, their extent and spatial characteristics remain insufficiently understood in the North China Plain, one of China's most important grain‐producing

Assessing Soil Erosion in a Typical Karst Region: A Model Improved by Bedrock Exposure Rate in Guizhou Province

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion is a major environmental challenge in karst regions of Southwest China, where thin soils and high bedrock exposure accelerate land degradation. This study modified the RUSLE model by incorporating bedrock exposure rate to improve erosion simulation in Guizhou Province from 2000 to 2024.

Optimization of Land Pattern in Mining Area Based on the Improvement of Ecosystem Service Function—A Case Study of Fushun Mining Area

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mining activities are prevalent worldwide and pose significant threats to the supply of ecosystem services (ESs) for humanity. Many mining areas face challenges related to recovery and reclamation following resource depletion. A key challenge for the sustainable development of these areas is how to achieve collaborative optimization of land ...

Coupling Landscape Patterns and Ecosystem Services With Sustainable Development Goals for Regional Sustainability: Evidence From the Yellow River Basin

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human activities are accelerating ecosystem degradation, making regional sustainability transitions increasingly urgent. Although the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a unified global framework for action, their implementation at the regional scale still lacks operational approaches for evaluating whether progress in

Asymmetric Responses of Ecosystem Health to Urbanization in a Typical Karst City: Spatiotemporal Patterns and Driving Mechanisms in Guilin, China

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban expansion can substantially reshape ecosystem structure and functioning, especially in ecologically fragile Karst landscapes. Clarifying how ecosystem health (EH) responds to urbanization and identifying the factors that drive spatial variation in EH are important for regional sustainability.

Ecological Network Characteristics of Cultivated Land Carbon Flows in Major Grain‐Producing Regions: Case Study of Jingzhou City, China

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land‐use changes related to cultivated land significantly affect the regional carbon budget in major grain‐producing regions, yet the ecological network characteristics of cultivated land carbon flows remain insufficiently understood. This study developed an integrated framework that combined ecological network analysis with spatial analysis ...
