Synergistic Regulation of Soil Function and Wind Erosion Resistance by Sand Barriers, Vegetation, and Artificial Biological Crust in the Tengger Desert

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aeolian desertification poses a critical threat to ecosystem stability in arid regions worldwide. Although the combination of sand barriers and vegetation has been widely applied for sand fixation, its long‐term effectiveness is constrained by barrier degradation, slow natural development of biological soil crusts (BSCs), and the resulting ...

From Ashes to Action: Economic Growth, Ecological Footprint, and Forest Fire Resilience in Advanced and Emerging Economies

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forest fires have escalated alarmingly, now consuming more than double the tree cover compared to two decades ago, signaling a growing and urgent environmental crisis. This study addresses the ever increasing global concern of forest fires, focusing on sustainable economic recovery while minimizing the ecological footprint amid mounting ...

Improving Soil Health and Crop Yields Through Conservation Agriculture and Nutrient Management in Central India

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Maintaining soil health and crop productivity in the semi‐arid Vertisols of central India poses a significant challenge under intensive agricultural practices. This 6‐year field study assessed the combined impact of different tillage methods, maize‐based crop rotations, and nitrogen management on soil's physical, chemical, and biological ...

Post‐Mining Conservation Measures for Erosion Control: A Global Assessment of Their Effectiveness on Runoff and Soil Erosion Reduction

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mining activities severely disturb land surfaces and hydrological processes, intensifying hillslope erosion and soil loss. To evaluate the effectiveness of post‐mining restoration measures and identify the factors regulating their performance, we compiled a global dataset of runoff and soil erosion yield from 58 studies spanning multiple mine ...

A wavelet‐based method for the assessment of hydrodynamic model behavior against observed sea level variability

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Sea level outputs from hydrodynamic models are often assessed against tide gauge data by comparing the standard deviations of modeled and observed time series, and by calculating the Pearson correlation coefficient and centered root mean square error (cRMSE) between the two.

Optical Stimulation and Monitoring of the Peripheral Nervous System: Perspectives and Challenges Toward Clinical Translation

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Optical neuromodulation with IR light allows stimulation of the PNS without the need for physical contact with the target nerve or without requiring any genetic modification. The clinical translation of this technique will pave the way to the development of neural interfaces for restoring sensory feedback in individuals with limb amputation.

Characterization and Repetition Rate Locking of a 1 GHz Erbium‐Doped ZBLAN Waveguide‐Chip Comb Laser

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
A compact, erbium‐doped ZBLAN waveguide chip mode‐locked laser that self‐starts, delivers stable ultrashort pulses, and repetition rate locked to a 1 GHz radio‐frequency reference. The laser produces near transform‐limited 324 fs pulses and 12 nm bandwidth with low noise and long‐term stability, with potential applications in optical frequency ...
