From Past to Future: Overall Patterns, Nonlinear Relationships, Spatial Heterogeneity and Drivers of Ecosystem Service Trade‐Offs and Synergies in the Yangtze River Economic Belt

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land‐use change and climate change are reshaping watershed ecological functions and may intensify the risk of localized ecological degradation. However, existing studies have primarily focused on the spatiotemporal patterns of ecosystem services (ESs) during historical periods, while the nonlinear changes, spatial heterogeneity, and driving ...

Comparative Effectiveness of Different Mulch Types and Application Rates for Reducing Runoff and Sediment Yield on Forest Skid Trails

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rehabilitation of skid trails following timber harvesting is critical for preserving forest soil integrity, particularly within ecologically sensitive ecosystems such as the Hyrcanian forests of northern Iran, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although mulching is widely recommended for erosion control, field evidence comparing different locally ...

Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Soil Shear Strength in Gully Erosion at Different Developmental Segments of Subalpine Meadows

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Subalpine meadows play important roles in biodiversity conservation and soil carbon sequestration, but gully erosion poses a serious threat to their ecological stability. Soil shear strength (τ) is a key mechanical parameter for evaluating gully stability and soil resistance to failure. However, the spatial variation in soil shear strength and

Topographic and Climatic Determinants of Soil Organic Carbon Across Landscapes: A Meta‐Analysis

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The soil is the greatest natural store of organic carbon, holding between 1500 to 1550 Pg C of organic carbon at the top 100 cm of the soil globally—roughly twice the carbon pool in the atmosphere. The spatial distribution of this stock is controlled by a complex chain of controls: topographic position regulates the hydrological redistribution,

Mixed Litter Decomposition Drives Functional Gene Rearrangement in the Microbial Carbon Cycle

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how mixed‐species litter decomposition regulates microbial communities and carbon cycling is vital for guiding ecosystem restoration and climate change mitigation, as it is a key process for nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration. A 15‐month field experiment compared single‐species (Pinus sylvestris var.

Experimental behavior of wood flooring systems

, 1972
The main objective of the overall project which included this study is to develop a mathematical model of wood joist floor systems which incorporates the T-beam action between the joists and plywood sheathing and the effect of inter-layer slip. Results of tests of wood flooring systems which were constructed and load tested to verify the deflections ...

Placebo Effect in Levodopa‐Induced Dyskinesia: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Levodopa‐induced dyskinesia (LID) is a complication of Parkinson's disease (PD) treatment. While the placebo effect is a known component in PD clinical trials, its specific magnitude in the context of LID is not well characterized.
