Despite their importance, the degradation and restoration of terraces remain insufficiently quantified, particularly in ecologically sensitive and fragmented landscapes such as China's Yellow River Basin (YRB). This study investigates terrace abandonment patterns in the Zulihe River Basin—a representative watershed in the YRB—by integrating explainable machine learning with multi‐source remote sensing and cloud‐based processing. We employed Sentinel‐1 and Sentinel‐2 imagery, DEM‐derived topographic features, and land cover products, supported by high‐resolution Google Earth reference data. A Google Earth Engine–Colab workflow enabled efficient data integration and classification. An ensemble feature selection (EFS) approach combining Gini importance and recursive feature elimination (RFECV) was implemented for optimal feature selection, followed by classification using Random Forest and LightGBM models. The SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) algorithm was applied to enhance interpretability, revealing geomorphic (37.2%) and SAR texture (27.6%) features as dominant predictors. Model performance exceeded 91%, with F1‐scores > 0.96. Our results indicate that agricultural terraces declined by over 20% between 2015 and 2024, with the most significant losses occurring between 2018 and 2021. These areas consistently exhibited low C‐band SAR backscatter (VV/VH), reflecting structural degradation and fluctuations in vegetation cover. In contrast, grassy terraces expanded on convex slopes, suggesting partial ecological restoration. This study introduces a robust and scalable framework for terrace monitoring, offering interpretable insights into land degradation dynamics. The approach can support sustainable land management strategies and inform policy responses in erosion‐prone regions.","PeriodicalId":203,"journal":{"name":"Land Degradation & Development","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145235374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study assessed the long‐term effects of converting a 50‐year‐old primary forest into cultivated land‐use systems, namely, agriculture (AGLU), horticulture (HOLU), and agroforestry (AFLU), over a period of 20–26 years in the Eastern Himalayas, India. The soil was taken to a depth of 1.0 m, with increments of 0.15 m until 0.60 m and 0.20 m until 1.0 m. The evaluation was carried out to assess macro‐ and micronutrient storage, microbial biomass, enzymatic activities, and total and fractionated organic carbon (C) pools. The depletion of nutrients (macro: −52.6% to −59.2%, micro: −20.4% to −61.6%) and biological properties (SMBC: −40.7%, enzymes: −25.5% to −40.2%) was the most severe in the top soil (0.15 m) under agricultural land use.

It is important to identify changes in cropping patterns, their interaction with soil condition and water availability. This study investigates the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalized Difference Moisture Index (NDMI), Bare Soil Index (BSI), and Land Use Land Cover (LULC) by using multi‐temporal Sentinel‐2 satellite imagery during the winter cropping season (2018–2024). Results highlight pronounced temporal variability, with dense vegetation covered in 2020, while peak soil moisture was in 2022, reflecting the sensitivity of cropping systems to changing conditions. Furthermore, BSI index results show that the lowest values were observed in 2020, which indicate the highest vegetation cover in this year. However, the results of LULC reported that the cropping area decreased by −27.18%, while the built‐up area increased by 33.41%. This trend underscores the dual pressure of cropland loss and urban growth. The water bodies' covered area showed a minor increasing trend of 0.56%. The study emphasizes the complex association between the availability of water, the health of vegetation, and land degradation.

This study employs deep learning (DL) and machine learning (ML) models—convolutional neural networks (CNN), long short‐term memory (LSTM), random forest (RF), and decision trees (DT)—to predict wildfire onset days using a dataset of 14,989 data points (1984–2025) that incorporates historical and projected climate variables such as precipitation, temperature extremes, wind speed, and seasonal patterns. Among the tested models, CNN demonstrated the highest accuracy, achieving a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.012, mean absolute relative error (MARE) of 0.597%, root mean squared error (RMSE) of 2.432, and an <jats:italic>R</jats:italic><jats:sup>2</jats:sup> of 0.991. The novelty of this study lies in the customized application of CNN for spatiotemporal wildfire prediction, where climate variables are treated as multi‐channel temporal–spatial tensors, enabling the model to learn both short‐term and long‐term dependencies within structured climate data. This approach goes beyond the conventional use of CNN in image processing by integrating dilated convolutions and optimized kernel architectures to detect rare, high‐impact events like heatwaves and wind bursts that often precede wildfire occurrences. These architectural enhancements allow CNN to extract deep, nonlinear patterns from interdependent climate features while maintaining parameter efficiency and reducing overfitting, marking a significant advancement over standard ML and DL approaches. Despite its strong performance, the model's reliance on projected climate data introduces inherent uncertainties, and the lack of real‐time human activity variables, such as land‐use changes and policy interventions, may limit operational applicability. Future improvements should focus on integrating real‐time sensor networks, refining climate projections, and validating across diverse geographic regions to strengthen the model's reliability and scalability. Ultimately, CNN‐based models have the potential to become crucial tools in proactive wildfire management, enabling timely resource allocation and reducing environmental and human impacts amid a rapidly changing climate.","PeriodicalId":203,"journal":{"name":"Land Degradation & Development","volume":"115 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145203750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Regarding this, the study explores the impacts of green energy, tech development, and urbanization on agriculture's greenhouse gas emissions. The prime objective of the current research is to unveil the green energy, tech innovations, and environmental sustainability nexus to draw novel implications in the context of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In doing so, the authors employ the quarterly data of China from 1990Q1 to 2020Q4. For the long-run empirical analysis, the authors utilize various time-series estimating approaches, such as Quantile regression, which performs better in testing the nexus at different quantiles. However, the Fully Modified OLS, Dynamic OLS, and Canonical Cointegration Regression methods are used as robustness tools to authenticate the estimate of the primary approach. The results suggest that greener energy and technological innovations significantly reduce agriculture sector emissions. Furthermore, the presence of green energy transforms its negative influence into a positive one. Contrastingly, the use of traditional fossil fuel energy, urbanization, and financial development are significant drivers of emissions. This study's findings support SDGs, particularly SDG-2, which supports the stance of sustainable agriculture and encourages green energy use.

Beyond their remediation potential, OPs enhance urban biodiversity, revitalize degraded landscapes, and generate socioeconomic value through commercial by-products. Critically, we unveil their dual-function role in emerging carbon neutrality frameworks: photosynthetic carbon capture synergizes with contaminant immobilization, positioning OPs as linchpins in climate-smart remediation. While OPs exhibit remarkable resilience, their efficacy is modulated by environmental variables and site-specific stresses. We identify key challenges—optimizing stress-tolerant traits via genetic engineering, leveraging plant–microbe partnerships to amplify degradation pathways, and sustainable biomass management—that must be addressed to scale applications. By integrating OPs into urban green infrastructure and industrial buffer zones, this approach transcends traditional remediation.

We investigated the changes in soil microbial diversity and composition across four forest types: a tropical rainforest, a rubber monoculture plantation, and two restored types (natural restoration of rubber monoculture and natural restoration of rubber tree with tea tree intercropping). Results showed that soil fertility (soil organic C, total N, and total P), pH, and electrical conductivity (EC) exhibited increasing trends following forest restoration or decreasing soil aggregate fractions. Forest restoration and soil aggregate fractions were identified as the key predictors of microbial community structure. This relationship may be attributed to enhanced resource availability caused by increased plant diversity, pH, and EC in the restored forests. Smaller aggregates provide physical protection and retain more nutrients, thereby promoting microbial activity and diversity. PLS‐PM showed that microbes constituted the primary contributor among all the factors driving soil fertility. Strong positive correlations were observed between soil fertility and microbial communities, particularly in the dominant phyla and microbial networks. Specifically, the abundance of r‐strategy bacteria (Bacteroidota, Actinobacteria, and Proteobacteria) increased with forest restoration and decreasing aggregate size fractions. Similarly, fungal K‐strategists (Basidiomycota) increased following forest restoration, whereas fungal r‐strategists (Mortierellomycota) increased in the smaller aggregate size fractions. Microbial networks became more complex and tighter with forest restoration and decreasing aggregate size fractions. These shifts in microbial life strategies and co‐occurrence patterns likely enhance the formation of microbial‐derived organic matter, improve the efficiency of resource allocation and ecological signal transmission, and thereby promote soil fertility accumulation. Overall, this study highlights the critical role of forest restoration in abandoned rubber plantations in reshaping soil microbial communities and emphasizes the potential of soil microbes as indicators of soil resilience and health.","PeriodicalId":203,"journal":{"name":"Land Degradation & Development","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145188782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the long‐term persistence of alfalfa can diminish productivity and disrupt soil nutrient balance, raising concerns about the sustainability of these systems. Here, we quantified soil carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) stoichiometry, identified its environmental determinants, and evaluated its role in regulating soil multifunctionality (SMF) across 112 alfalfa grassland sites on the Loess Plateau of China. Average soil C:N, C:P, and N:P ratios (0–20 cm) were 8.6 ± 0.8, 14.4 ± 4.5, and 1.7 ± 0.5, respectively. The C:P and N:P ratios were positively correlated with vegetation cover, aboveground biomass of native species, species richness, soil organic C, but not with alfalfa or total plant biomass. Structural equation modeling revealed that species richness, microbial biomass C, and soil moisture were the dominant drivers of soil C:P and N:P ratios. Soil stoichiometry, particularly the C:P ratio, exerted a stronger influence on SMF than alfalfa biomass, with both direct effects and indirect effects mediated through plant abundance and species richness. These findings identify soil stoichiometry as a key mechanism linking vegetation and microbial processes to SMF. We argue that improving soil stoichiometry—through practices such as balanced fertilization and enhanced plant diversity—will be essential to optimize nutrient use efficiency and sustain soil functioning in alfalfa grasslands.","PeriodicalId":203,"journal":{"name":"Land Degradation & Development","volume":"93 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145194947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
