Postgrazing changes in soil structure and organic carbon stability are indicative of grassland recovery. However, the mechanisms by which seasonal rest grazing affects these soil properties remain unclear. This study examined alpine grasslands subjected to 5 years of seasonal rest grazing to assess its impact on plant community traits, soil aggregate stability, and the soil organic carbon content. The results show that (1) compared with traditional grazing, seasonal rest grazing significantly improved the height, coverage, undecomposed litterfall, and biomass of alpine grasslands while also substantially reducing the root–crown ratio. (2) Seasonal rest grazing resulted in a pronounced increase in the soil water content, whereas the soil bulk density, pH, soil organic carbon, total nitrogen content, and carbon–nitrogen ratio decreased. (3) Seasonal rest grazing enhanced aggregate stability and increased the proportion and organic carbon content of macro‐aggregate soil (> 0.25 mm), but the contents of micro‐aggregates (0.25–0.053 mm), silt + clay particles (< 0.053 mm), and their associated organic carbon decreased. (4) Redundancy analysis and structural equation modeling indicated that the effects of the soil organic carbon of each aggregate, physical properties, and chemical properties on the soil organic carbon content after seasonal rest grazing were more significant than those after traditional grazing and that macro‐aggregate soil organic carbon was the key factor affecting the soil organic carbon content. In conclusion, seasonal rest grazing can improve the productivity and soil organic carbon stability of alpine grasslands and plays an important role in alpine grassland ecosystem maintenance and organic carbon fixation, which is related to altitude.","PeriodicalId":203,"journal":{"name":"Land Degradation & Development","volume":"92 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143653342","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 current mapping methods are difficult to balance accuracy and interpretability, which brings great challenges to the mapping of SOCD. In the present research, a total of 6223 soil samples were collected, along with data pertaining to 30 environmental covariates, from agricultural land located in the Poyang Lake Plain of Jiangxi Province, southern China. Furthermore, ordinary kriging (OK), geographically weighted regression (GWR), random forest (RF), and empirical Bayesian kriging (EBK), along with three hybrid models (RF-OK, RF-EBK, RF-GWR), were constructed. These models were used to map the SOCD (soil organic carbon density) in the study region with a high resolution of 30 m. After that, shapley additive explanations (SHAP) were used to quantify the global contribution and spatially identify the dominant factors that influence SOCD variation. The study outcomes suggested that compared to the single geostatistics model and hybrid model, the RF method emerged as the most effective predictive model, showcasing superior performance (coefficient of determination (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup>) = 0.44, root mean squared error (RMSE) = 0.61 kg m<sup>−2</sup>, Lin's concordance coefficient (LCCC) = 0.58). Using the SHAP, we found that soil properties contributed the most to the prediction of global SOCD (81.67%). At the pixel level, total nitrogen dominated 50.33% of the farmland, followed by parent material (8.11%), available silicon (8.00%), and mean annual precipitation (5.71%), and the remaining variables accounted for less than 5.50%.

This study seeks to fill this gap by evaluating the species richness, diversity, and evenness of fungi, and many soil properties in a severely burned forest in Central-Eastern Spain 10 years after installing log erosion barriers (LEBs) as a post-fire management treatment. When compared to the unburned soils, all diversity indices of fungal communities—especially species richness and abundance, +39%,—significantly increased in burned and untreated sites. This was mainly due to the long time elapsed from wildfire and post-fire treatment and the high cover of dead wood, which supported soil humidity for fungi development. Compared to burned areas, LEBs further increased fungal biodiversity, +43% in species richness, and +22% in abundance. This increased biodiversity was supported by a higher content of organic matter, nutrients, and some enzymes. Therefore, LEBs used in post-fire management can be suitable for the increased development of some fungi species and their diversity in semi-arid forests affected by severe wildfires.","PeriodicalId":203,"journal":{"name":"Land Degradation & Development","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143635121","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}

Pisha sandstone could be used to maintain the water and nutrients in sandy soil due to the presence of montmorillonite, but the impacts of application methods (patterns and levels) on N leaching loss remain unclear. Leaching experiments were conducted to investigate the impacts of Pisha sandstone application patterns and levels on N leaching loss. Soil columns were constructed, including four application patterns (U, upper layer in soil column; M, middle layer; L, lower layer; Mix, mixing with sandy soil) and three application levels (10%, 30%, 50%, mass ratio). Results indicated that not all treatments showed a decrease in N leaching from sandy soil, and the application patterns had a higher effect than application levels. Compared with the sandy soil, the Mix application pattern presented the best impact in reducing N leaching (18.8%—28.3%) and could reduce more leaching N by increasing application levels. The L pattern effectively reduced N leaching loss (3.5%—20.2%) and water drainage loss (12%—33.8%). A cautious attitude should be adopted in selecting U and M patterns due to the risk of increasing N leaching loss. The reasonable use of Pisha sandstone was helpful in reducing N leaching loss from sandy soil.

This study proposes an automatic method for detecting cropland destruction and reclamation. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) derived from long‐term Landsat imagery was selected as the primary factor. First, by extracting a substantial number of NDVI samples from the mining areas, the threshold for cropland destruction due to mining disturbances was determined. Various types and scales of NDVI change templates were constructed based on the mechanisms of cropland disturbance. Subsequently, the Fast Dynamic Time Warping algorithm was employed to match the time‐series curves and identify disturbance types, along with formulating detection rule for the year and magnitude of the cropland disturbance. Finally, patch indicators for disturbed croplands were established, and a random forest model was utilized to eliminate the disturbance noise induced by anthropogenic construction. The proposed method was applied to the Huaibei coal base, mapping cropland destruction and reclamation due to mining activities from 1987 to 2022, with overall accuracies of 0.85 and 0.81, respectively. This study revealed that the total area of cropland destroyed by mining activities amounted to 10179.71 ha during the monitoring period. From 1987 to 2005, the area of cropland destruction was small, accounting for 27.51% of the entire period. Between 2006 and 2018, the area of cropland destruction significantly increased, totaling 6102.01 ha and accounting for 59.94% of the entire period. The area of cropland destruction rapidly decreased and stabilized after 2018. Reclamation efforts began roughly in 1995, achieving a total reclaimed area of 2734.83 ha, with a reclamation rate of 26.86%. This study provides a crucial reference for monitoring the environmental impacts of mining and assessing the effectiveness of ecological restoration.","PeriodicalId":203,"journal":{"name":"Land Degradation & Development","volume":"213 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143618383","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 being a fragile and highly biodiverse ecosystem, little is known about the magnitude, spatial distribution, and drivers of heavy metal contamination in this reserve. Soil samples were collected at a depth of 0 to 10 cm from mangrove areas (MANg), salt marshes (SMe), and dry forests (Df) to assess concentrations of copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), and chromium (Cr) and their correlation with physicochemical properties. Analytical methods included one‐way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, cluster analysis (CA), and the application of the geo‐accumulation index (<jats:italic>Igeo</jats:italic>) and pollution load index (<jats:italic>PLI</jats:italic>) to quantify contamination levels. The results reveal elevated concentrations of heavy metals in MANg, SMe, and the southern dry forest (Df‐S5), exceeding thresholds reported in previous studies. Notably, Zn and Pb contamination levels range from high to very high across the reserve, with MANg soils being the most impacted by all metals studied. The accumulation patterns are closely linked to soil properties such as silt and clay content, porosity, pH, and organic matter, which influence metal retention and mobility. This contamination is primarily attributed to anthropogenic activities, including shrimp farming, conventional agriculture, and pollutants originating from mining, domestic, and industrial discharges from nearby urban areas. These findings underscore the urgent need for targeted restoration and conservation measures to safeguard the reserve's biodiversity and ecosystem services. They also highlight the necessity for updated regulations and mitigation strategies to manage contamination effectively, offering a foundation for sustainable management practices in the AERv and other protected areas in Ecuador.","PeriodicalId":203,"journal":{"name":"Land Degradation & Development","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143608030","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}

According to the Regional Information System (SIR) of the Governor's Office of Huila, the area planted annually with achira in the department for 2020 was 82.3 ha, and the local demand for starch (400 tons/year) is imported from other departments (Cundinamarca and Nariño). Beyond its economic potential, achira contributes to ecosystem services. Its organic management, limited to cultural practices, helps mitigate pollinator population decline, particularly among wild bees. The problems caused by the growth of areas planted in coffee and other conventionally managed crops make it crucial to better understand the relationship between biodiversity and agricultural production; therefore, it is imperative to develop sustainable management strategies that promote the conservation of floral visitors, pollinators, and biodiversity in general.

The variations in altitudinal zones may affect the distribution of native bee species and other visitors, reducing their abundance. Further studies are recommended to establish a direct correlation between altitude and floral visitor diversity.

This degradation is concerning because many of these trails are located in protected natural areas, which aim to conserve natural resources and associated biodiversity. Concurrently, ecosystems worldwide have also been experiencing increased degradation, prompting the United Nations to declare this the Decade of Ecosystem Restoration. In this context, through a systematic review of the scientific literature, our study identifies significant gaps in knowledge regarding the management of degraded trails in protected natural areas worldwide. We observed that the number of research studies has been growing, particularly in the last decade, and is concentrated in countries with developed economies and by researchers from these countries. Notably, while the literature on trail degradation is abundant, there is a pronounced scarcity of empirical research focusing on strategies for the reversal of such degradation. Moreover, the variability in the use of terms such as restoration, recovery, and rehabilitation across studies indicates a lack of consensus that may hinder effective communication and implementation of strategies to address the reversal of trail degradation. Thus, the strength of this research lies in its ability to bridge existing gaps by providing a comprehensive analysis of current terminologies and methodologies. By clarifying the terms' meanings, this study enhances their application in trail management. This enhancement, in turn, boosts management practices and aids in the global effort to restore degraded ecosystems. Not only does this work map out the existing research landscape, but it also underscores the urgent need for more targeted empirical studies that could inform practical, effective strategies for trail restoration in protected natural areas.","PeriodicalId":203,"journal":{"name":"Land Degradation & Development","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143619042","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 found abundant and diversified microbial communities in karst tiankengs, with <i>Proteobacteria</i>, <i>Acidobacteriota</i> (Bacteria), and <i>Ascomycota</i>, <i>Basidiomycota</i> (Fungi) being the main phyla. Compared to the degraded karst landscape, karst tiankengs maintained a higher richness of bacterial taxa. The common and exclusively microbial taxa in karst tiankengs follow copiotrophic and opportunistic strategies, and these taxa are associated with high soil nutrients (TN and SOM) and water content. Karst tiankeng maintained a stable microbial network structure through cooperation, and the dispersal limitation dominated the bacterial and fungal community assembly.
