Impacts of Climate Change on Food Security: Land Management–Based Strategies Within a Nature‐Based Solutions Framework

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change poses serious threats to food security by affecting agricultural production processes in multiple ways. This study aims to analyze land management–based solution strategies that can be developed in response to this threat and presents a systematic and holistic framework through the relationship these strategies establish with ...

A Multiple Soil Threats Assessment for Europe by 2050

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European soils are exposed to multiple interacting soil threats (STs), challenging the European Commission's objective of restoring healthy soils by 2050. This study provides the first integrated EU‐scale projection of four major soil threats—soil compaction, soil organic carbon loss, soil erosion and soil sealing—under two IPCC climate ...

Nitrogen Enrichment Enhances Soil Multifunctionality Through Distinct Drivers Across Urban, Suburban, and Rural Forests

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The accelerating pace of urban expansion has profoundly reshaped urban–rural ecosystems, altering soil environments and impairing key ecological services. However, the combined impacts of urban expansion and atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition on soil multifunctionality—the capacity to sustain multiple ecological processes—remain poorly ...

Forest Landscape Changes and Ecological Restoration for Sustainable Land Systems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates forest landscape changes and ecological restoration in Sichuan Province, China, to assess their contribution to sustainable land systems under climate stress. A theory‐guided multistage framework was applied to link Landsat‐based change detection, landscape metrics, habitat quality assessment, soil‐retention analysis ...

Discriminating Arid Ecosystems and Tracking Desertification Dynamics: Evidence From Grain‐Size End‐Member in the Manas River Basin, Northern Tianshan Mountains

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecosystem of the Manas River Basin, composed of mountains, oases, and deserts, constitutes an ideal natural laboratory for investigating surface processes and environmental evolution in arid regions. Elucidating the provenance, transport dynamics, and climate response mechanisms of surface sediments in this system is critical for advancing

Development and Validation of a Questionnaire‐Based Model for Households With Multiple Helicobacter pylori Infections: A Family‐Based Screening Strategy

Med Research, EarlyView.
This study developed and externally validated a questionnaire‐based household risk model to identify families with multiple Helicobacter pylori infections. Using only noninvasive, readily available household information, the model showed good discrimination and enabled a family‐based screening strategy that substantially improved detection efficiency ...
