This study compared the efficacy of agricultural/industrial byproducts (eggshell powder, shell powder, and sugar beet factory lime [SBFL]) versus natural lime materials (calcite and dolomite) for cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) immobilization during the recalcification of degraded calcareous soils. Analysis of soil solution chemistry revealed that SBFL uniquely combined pH elevation across all stages (0.12–1.16 units) with elevated dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations at the seedling and jointing stages (145%–472% increase) to achieve dual Cd‐Pb stabilization. Principal component analysis identified distinct immobilization mechanisms: Cd immobilization was primarily pH‐driven via precipitation and co‐precipitation with calcium, whereas Pb stabilization relied on DOC‐mediated complexation under high pH conditions, effectively suppressing the reductive dissolution of iron and manganese oxides. Consequently, SBFL outperformed the other amendments, reducing root Cd/Pb concentrations by 11.8%–56.6% and enhancing wheat biomass by 25.9%–55.4% compared with the unamended control. These findings highlight the significant potential of industrial byproducts like SBFL to restore degraded calcareous soils through distinct geochemical pathways, reconciling crop productivity with metal sequestration.","PeriodicalId":203,"journal":{"name":"Land Degradation & Development","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144669649","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}

In this study, we combined the Remote Sensing Ecological Index (RSEI) and Modified Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model to develop a Composite Ecological Quality Index (CEQI). This approach was used to examine the spatio‐temporal distribution patterns and driving factors of ecological quality and soil erosion in the transition zone from the Tibetan Plateau–Hengduan Mountains to Chengdu Plain, over the past 20 years (2000–2020). The CEQI results showed a 24% improvement in the study area's ecological quality, and a major east–west gradient difference was observed, with the eastern plains experiencing significant improvements as a result of China's Grain‐for‐Green Project. Moreover, the central and western high‐altitude areas experienced environmental degradation due to the impact of human activities, such as grazing intensity and changes in natural factors that caused the RSEI to decrease by 10%. This study also found a 2.61% increase in soil erosion modulus, with severe erosion concentrated in the Qamdo–Nagqu area where the interaction between climate change and topography was a key driver in the spatial differentiation. The optimal parameters‐based geographical detector (OPGD) and random forest model (RFM) further showed that precipitation, temperature, and land use dominated changes in environmental quality before 2010. The combined effects of grazing intensity, temperature, and precipitation explained the changes in ecological quality after 2010 with the government's implementation of environmental policies.","PeriodicalId":203,"journal":{"name":"Land Degradation & Development","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144677510","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, most previous studies have primarily focused on the impacts of climate change on SOC, leading to a limited understanding of SIC dynamics and SOC‐SIC interactions. In this study, we integrated 1131 paired SOC and SIC observations from 169 sites across global drylands following vegetation restoration and investigated the effects of current and future climate change on the SOC, SIC, and the ratio of SIC to SOC (SIC/SOC). The results indicated that subsoil SOC (20–100 cm) in shrubs was significantly lower than in forests and grasslands, while the SIC/SOC was significantly higher. A significant positive correlation was observed between SOC and SIC (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < 0.05). Along the precipitation gradient, the rate of SIC increase was 1.29 times greater than that of SOC in topsoils (0–20 cm) and 4.86 times greater in deeper soil layers (> 100 cm). Similarly, along the temperature gradient, the increase in SIC was 0.96 times greater than that of SOC in topsoils and 3.5 times greater in deeper soils. Structural equation modeling (SEM) revealed that climatic factors influence SOC, SIC, and SIC/SOC both directly and indirectly, with pH, total nitrogen (TN), and sand content serving as key mediating variables. Under different climate change scenarios, we observed a wide range of changes in SOC and SIC across soil depths, highlighting substantial uncertainty in predicting future SIC/SOC dynamics. Under the SSP126 scenario, SOC increased by 23.7%–66.6% across various soil depths, while SIC decreased by as much as 68.5% in the topsoil under SSP370. Our study highlights the importance of balancing SOC and SIC, advancing a comprehensive understanding of soil carbon dynamics, and providing critical scientific support for addressing climate change in dryland ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":203,"journal":{"name":"Land Degradation & Development","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144677498","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 absence of a quantitative, spatially explicit evaluation of CLC potential that integrates local stakeholder perspectives from farmers, community, and decision‐makers has hindered the effectiveness and efficiency of CLC initiatives, constraining their ability to deliver enduring benefits for agricultural productivity and sustainability. We used a knowledge co‐production approach integrating spatial multi‐criteria analysis (MCA) with multi‐stakeholder engagement to evaluate CLC potential and identify priority areas in Jiangsu Province. We identified priority areas and considerations for CLC implementation to support the transition toward productive, sustainable agricultural systems, categorizing 813 townships into seven CLC priority types. Our analysis identified 41.82% of the area as being most suitable for resource improvement consolidation, 33.83% for pattern optimization consolidation, and 9.84% for utilization enhancement consolidation, with 14.51% designated for combined‐criteria consolidation. Additionally, 686 townships with low to very low CLC potential were identified as priority areas for protection and development. These spatially explicit results provide a robust foundation for regional prioritization, targeted investment, and stakeholder‐driven CLC planning.

The results show that: (1) During the ecological restoration, the primary land transfer changes in the Dexing copper mine involved mutual conversions between forest and construction land and from construction land to cropland. The transition from construction land to cropland and forest exhibited distinct absolute and relative tendency patterns, respectively. (2) The ESVs in the Dexing copper mine showed a slight decrease at first and then a significant increase. The high ESV areas are mainly forest area and other types of ecological land, where no living, industrial, or mining activities have been conducted. The low ESV areas are mainly located in rural residential areas or mining areas and have remarkably decreased since 2018.

However, most existing studies have narrowly focused on local land use/land cover changes, lacking an integrated understanding of how urbanization reshapes agricultural habitats through both direct and indirect pathways across regions. To address this gap, this study employs a telecoupling framework to assess the dual impacts of urbanization on agricultural habitats in Zhejiang Province, China. This study quantified cropland loss and cropland displacement driven by food production demand using land use/land cover conversion data, and applied a scenario‐based approach to distinguish the direct and indirect effects of urbanization on agricultural habitat quality. Between 2000 and 2020, built‐up land expanded by 158.09%, resulting in a 17.89% reduction in cropland. Urbanization directly caused a 15.44% loss in agricultural habitat and indirectly led to a 5.08% decline through the degradation of surrounding cropland. Although cropland displacement contributed to a 15.57% increase in agricultural habitat in other areas, these gains were achieved primarily at the expense of forested ecosystems and exhibited spatial mismatches with the original losses. These findings reveal that the indirect ecological responses to urbanization may partially counterbalance habitat losses locally, but also introduce potential trade‐offs and externalize ecological costs to distant landscapes. Our results highlight the importance of recognizing urban–rural teleconnections in land use planning and call for more integrative and spatially coordinated strategies to safeguard agricultural landscapes and biodiversity under ongoing urban expansion.","PeriodicalId":203,"journal":{"name":"Land Degradation & Development","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144669680","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}

The interaction between land use and human activities has a significant impact on the intensity of carbon emissions, and biomass burning generates carbon emissions by affecting the type of land use. Based on remote sensing data, including land use, nighttime lighting, and so forth, as well as carbon emission calculation methods for land use and biomass burning, we constructed a high‐resolution carbon emission grid for the Pearl River Basin, China (PRB) by combining land use and biomass burning carbon emissions (BBCE). The results reveal that forests, covering approximately 68% of the total area, are responsible for about 99% of the carbon absorption. Carbon emissions from construction land grew rapidly, with 85.15% of the increase in its area led to a 175.89% rise in its associated carbon emissions. Biomass burning is the main source of carbon emissions in the less economically developed counties of PRB. Furthermore, we applied an interpretable machine learning model (SHAP) to analyze the inequality of drivers across PRB. The results show that natural factors such as temperature have a more significant impact on carbon sink areas, while anthropogenic factors such as population have a more significant impact on carbon source areas. This study provides a spatial and temporal analysis of carbon emissions from land use and biomass burning in the PRB from 2001 to 2020.
