Introducing the concept of resilience can help explore the development potential of rural areas and add vitality to the realization of high-quality rural development. Currently, theoretical analyses and systematic evaluations of rural resilience in China's karst mountain area are still insufficient. In this study, based on ecosystem services (ESs) and ecological thresholds, we calculated ecological resilience (ER). For the social systems dimension, we measured social resilience (SR) using a resilience assessment methodology developed by the FAO. Afterward, this study constructed a framework, integrating SR and ER, to assess interactions between rural socioeconomic systems and ecosystems. The study shows that SR is better in rural settlements closer to cities, while remote rural settlements have better ER. Rural settlements close to cities tend to have higher incomes and better educational opportunities than remote rural settlements. In contrast, remote rural settlements perform well in terms of forest area and natural ecology. Based on these findings, we propose specific policy measures to meet these challenges. The operational framework of this study can provide new insights and meaningful theoretical references for the study of rural resilience.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":203,"journal":{"name":"Land Degradation & Development","volume":"36 4","pages":"1255-1268"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142867505","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}

Rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i> L.) cultivation is an effective approach to remediate saline-alkali soil. However, how rice straw (RS), rice straw biochar (RSB), and rice straw ash (RSA) impact soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation and stability in saline-alkali soil remains unknown. Herein, SOC and SOC fractions contents in bulk soil and its particle- and aggregate-size classes under RS, RSB, and RSA amendments and control with amendments (CK) were investigated by field experiment. Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to evaluate bulk SOC chemical composition. The SOC and SOC fractions contents ranked as CK&lt;RSA&lt;RS&lt;RSB. Aromatic C was higher whereas O-alkyl C was lower in RSB relative to other treatments. The contents of SOC and SOC fractions in bulk soil were generally positively correlated with those in particle- and aggregate-size classes as well as with aromatic C. Redundancy analysis showed that exchangeable sodium and electrical conductivity were the most significant factors in shaping SOC contents and chemical composition. The results indicated that RSB is more beneficial for SOC accumulation and stabilization as compared to RS and RSA. The primary mechanisms of SOC accumulation in RSB-amended soil included physical protection afforded by aggregate classes, chemical protection mediated by silt and clay fractions, and biochemical protection with recalcitrant aromatic C. Our findings suggest that converting RS into RSB and the subsequent application of this biochar have the potential for improving soil quality in saline-alkali paddy field.","PeriodicalId":203,"journal":{"name":"Land Degradation & Development","volume":"268 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142867506","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 presents a comprehensive global bibliometric analysis of research trends in this field from 2009 to 2023, offering an in-depth overview of progress and remaining gaps. By reviewing 155 publications retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) database, advanced tools such as VOSviewer and Tree of Science were used to analyze author networks, thematic dynamics, and citation patterns, identifying areas of significant impact and research growth. The results reveal a steady annual growth rate of 23.6% in scientific output, with Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States leading the field, collectively accounting for 54.2% of the publications. More than 76.8% of these studies were published in the last 5 years, highlighting an increasing interest in incorporating flower strips as part of sustainable agricultural strategies. However, despite this progress, our analysis identifies a critical gap in understanding the long-term ecological and economic impacts of flower strips, particularly regarding their effectiveness in enhancing pollinator health and agricultural productivity. Additionally, there is a dearth of research on their adaptation and implementation in diverse geographic contexts, such as tropical and arid regions, where specific environmental conditions may influence their performance and sustainability. Most of the reviewed studies are short-term, limiting the understanding of flower strips' long-term effects on agricultural productivity and biodiversity. Additionally, there is a significant lack of research focusing on the implementation and effectiveness of flower strips in tropical and arid regions, emphasizing the need to expand the geographical scope of future studies. To maximize the potential of flower strips, we recommend developing standardized methodologies to consistently assess pollination services and encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration to address the complex interactions between agricultural practices, pollinator conservation, and ecosystem services. Beyond providing a solid foundation for future research, this analysis offers critical recommendations for the development of agricultural policies that promote biodiversity and agroecosystem resilience, thereby helping to mitigate the effects of climate change and enhance global agricultural sustainability.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":203,"journal":{"name":"Land Degradation & Development","volume":"36 4","pages":"1079-1091"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142857807","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}

Despite its potential benefits, the impact of tea plants intercropping green manure on organic plantations remains largely unexplored. This study primarily evaluated the effects of intercropping summer green manure and winter green manure (TSR: tea intercropping soybean + ryegrass; TMR: tea intercropping mung bean + radish; TSC: tea intercropping soybean + common vetch; TM: tea plant monoculture, consider as control) on soil microbial community composition, tea quality, and bacterial function in an organic tea plantation. Relative to TM, TMR improved soil physical structure by decreasing the soil penetration resistance and bulk density by 30.4% and 9.30% (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05), thus creating a conducive environment for microbial growth and activity. The composition and beta diversity of microbial communities have markedly differed after intercropping, attributed to changes in soil available nutrients, enzyme activities, and soil compaction. Intercropping increased the relative abundance of key microbial phyla, including Acidobacteriota, Firmicutes, Chytridiomycota, and Rozellomycota. Notably, TSR and TSC enhanced nitrogen fixation function by enriching beneficial microorganisms, such as <i>Bradyrhizobium</i> and <i>Clostridium_beijerinckii</i>, which were mediated by soil available potassium. The content of amino acids in tea leaves was increased by 20.2% under TMR. The partial least squares path model further revealed that intercropping with green manure improved tea quality by decreasing soil penetration resistance and increasing soil available phosphorus.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the carbon storage and carbon sequestration potential of check dams within the Helong Region (HLR), utilizing measured data from subcatchments and collected key dam data. The results indicated that the horizontal distribution characteristics of organic carbon (OC) in the seven subcatchments within the Yanhe catchment exhibited a gradually increasing trend from upstream to downstream. The vertical distribution of OC content can be categorized into three patterns: initial decrease followed by fluctuation, initial decrease followed by fluctuating increase, and sudden increase followed by stability. The variation range of OC stored in the dam land was 1.47–598.21 Mg, and there existed a strong quadratic relationship between OC storage and the dam land area. The HLR encompasses a total of 3703 key dams, with a combined storage capacity of 39.89 × 10⁸ m³ and controlling an area of 17951.6 km². As of 2011, the sediment load and OC buried in key dams within the HLR were estimated to be 24.98 × 10⁸ t and 6385.98 Gg, respectively. Assuming complete filling of all key dams, the estimated carbon sequestration potential of the key dams amounted to 6869.41 Gg.

However, they are continuously threatened by anthropogenic activities. Indus River Delta is the sixth largest in the world, has been adversely affected due to reclamation. The study examined the spatiotemporal dynamics of coastal wetlands and reclamation in the Indus River Delta from 1972 to 2022. Wetlands conversion to reclamation was extracted from 6-Landsat images. A land cover transfer matrix was used to analyze land use land cover (LULC) changes in different time intervals. Area-weight centroid was constructed to determine the migration trend of reclamation and coastal wetlands. Spatial accurateness was assessed using Producer's Accuracy (PA), User Accuracy (UA) and KAPPA coefficient (KC). The results reveal that from 1972 to 2022, the net area of wetlands declined by 1.9% (26.1 km²), while reclamation (settlement and cultivated land) increased by 14.7% (200.1 km²), and 27.5% (373.5 km²), respectively. The fastest areal change rate for coastal wetlands was −1.1 km²/year from 2012 to 2022, whereas the fastest areal change rate for settlement and cultivated land were 7.6 km²/year from 1992 to 2002 and 28.6 km²/year from 2012 to 2022.

Thus, taking Chongqing as an example, based on the perspective of LUSC–LUFC coupling, this study constructed a comprehensive conflict index to identify and assess LUCs, then applied the PLUS model to predict LUCs under three development scenarios in 2030. This study found that (1) there was a significant positive spatial association between LUSC and LUFC, with high–high agglomeration types in areas of severe LUCs and low–low agglomeration types in areas of light LUCs. (2) During 2000–2020, the LUCs in Chongqing displayed a trend of upward and then downward from 2000 to 2020, with significant agglomeration in their spatial pattern. (3) Two typical areas of LUCs intensification were identified, namely the topographic transition zone located in the Daba and Wuling mountains and the urban–rural interface in the Chongqing metropolitan area. (4) In 2030, the LUCs in Chongqing manifest an overall mitigation in the ecological protection (EP) scenario, while displaying an intensification in the natural development (ND) and economic development (ED) scenarios.

In this study, we evaluated the overall impact of mowing on root biomass, soil properties, microbial biomass, and diversity grasslands by synthesizing 1103 field observations from 103 global publications and assessed whether the effects of mowing varied with grassland type, mowing duration, and stubble height. Results revealed that mowing duration significantly influenced root biomass, transitioning from positive to negative effects with increased duration. Moreover, the effect of mowing on inorganic nitrogen (IN) differed among grassland types, decreasing in semi-humid/humid grasslands but remaining unchanged in arid/semi-arid ones. Stubble height impacted ammonium nitrogen (NH₄⁺-N), decreasing under medium and low stubble height but not under high stubble height. The effect of mowing on microbial biomass nitrogen (MBN) varied with grassland type and stubble height. MBN decreased in semi-humid/humid grasslands and under high stubble height but remained unchanged in arid/semi-arid grasslands or under medium and low stubble height. Additionally, mowing did not change the total microbial biomass, but decreased the biomass of gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, as well as the bacterial Shannon diversity index, and increased the fungal Simpson diversity index. Overall, this meta-analysis provides insights into how grassland ecosystems respond to mowing, particularly in terms of root biomass, soil properties, microbial biomass, and diversity.
