The Three Gorges Reservoir Area in China was dominated by a farming landscape, but land management has become diversified over recent decades. How these restorative management practices may have affected soil nutrients is not completely understood. In this study, a space-time substitution approach was applied to evaluate soil nutrients and their stoichiometric changes in response to post-farming land management practices. Soil samples (0–10 cm, 10–20 cm, and 20–40 cm) were collected from present-day croplands, cypress plantations, eucalyptus plantations, abandoned croplands, and citrus plantations. Soil organic matter, soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, alkaline hydrolyzed nitrogen, total phosphorus, and available phosphorus were determined. The results showed that soil organic matter and total nitrogen in abandoned croplands, cypress plantations, eucalyptus plantations and citrus plantations were increased by 186% and 190%, 184% and 107%, 45% and 33%, 45% and 54%, respectively, in comparison with those of present-day croplands. Soil nutrients except for total phosphorus decreased with soil depth by exclusion of tillage mixing. Comprehensive soil nutrient index showed that abandoned croplands (0.90) and cypress plantations (0.72) exhibited favorable nutrient recovery capacity. Soil C:P and N:P ratios increased in abandoned croplands, cypress plantations, and eucalyptus plantations. Phosphorus may become a limiting factor for plant growth with prolonged recovery in abandoned croplands, cypress plantations, and eucalyptus plantations, while soil organic matter and total nitrogen deficiencies were exacerbated in citrus plantations and present-day croplands. Therefore, cropland abandonment and reforestation (particularly cypress trees plantation) are recommended options for restoring soil nutrients in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48622,"journal":{"name":"International Soil and Water Conservation Research","volume":"12 4","pages":"Pages 896-907"},"PeriodicalIF":7.3,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140783800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a major ecological problem, gully erosion is destroying land and soil resources on the Tibetan Plateau, but related research is limited, and susceptibility areas and influencing factors are unclear. Machine learning methods are often applied to study gully initiation susceptibility, but they require a programming foundation. Therefore, the Redui watershed on the southern Tibetan Plateau with severe gully erosion was selected to evaluate the susceptibility and influencing factors of gully initiation through 12 influencing factors including topography, human activity, and underlying surface conditions, and all 2310 gully headcut sites. Two non-code nonlinear modeling methods, the categorical Regression (CATREG) and geographical detector (Geodetector) methods, were first used in the spatial modeling of gully initiation susceptibility. The results showed that the gully initiation susceptibility of the hillslope around the alluvial fan was highest. The very high susceptibility areas of the CATREG model and Geodetector model account for 18.2% and 16% of the total, respectively. The main influencing factors of gully initiation were elevation, relief, and soil type recognized by CATREG, and elevation, human footprint, and soil type recognized by Geodetector. Elevation is the primary factor controlling downstream susceptibility in both models. The primary factors in the upper and middle reaches are soil type and relief identified by CATREG. Human footprint, soil type, and distance to road are primary factors in the upper and middle reaches identified by Geodetector. The explanatory power of elevation, elevation-relief interaction, Geodetector model and CATREG model were 39%, 54%, 46.4% and 73.8%, respectively, at extremely significant levels (P &lt; 0.001), which means that the influencing factors were well considered and that the methods have great application potential in the future.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48622,"journal":{"name":"International Soil and Water Conservation Research","volume":"12 4","pages":"Pages 747-760"},"PeriodicalIF":7.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140406854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To reduce these risks, conservation agriculture (CA) uses minimal soil disturbance, crop residue retention, and crop rotation in order to reduce soil erosion, improve soil quality and crop production, and facilitate climate change mitigation and adaptation. Nevertheless, CA adoption in SSA is extremely low. This paper aims to review current practices, challenges, and constraints to the adoption of CA in SSA. Our analyses show that CA is practiced in only about 1.25% of the total cultivated area in SSA, despite two decades of efforts to promote CA adoption among smallholder farmers. Specific difficulties in CA adoption by smallholder farmers in SSA may be attributed to i) lack of locally adaptable CA systems, particularly those integrating the needs of livestock production; ii) lack of adequate crop residues for surface mulch; iii) inconsistent and low crop yields; iv) lack of smallholder CA equipment for direct sowing; v) limited availability, high cost, and inadequate knowledge associated with the use of appropriate fertilizer and herbicides; and vi) lack of CA knowledge and training. Other problems relate to the management of specific soil orders, e.g., CA implementation on steeply sloping land and poorly drained soils such as Vertisols. CA adoption by smallholder farmers is also obstructed by socio-economic factors due to smallholder farmers’ focus on short term yield increases and their lack of access to markets, loans, and education. To facilitate wider adoption by smallholder farmers in SSA, CA approaches should be downscaled to fit the existing tillage tools and the specific agroecological and socio-economic farm settings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48622,"journal":{"name":"International Soil and Water Conservation Research","volume":"12 4","pages":"Pages 828-843"},"PeriodicalIF":7.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140273513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cropland expanded across all agroecologies from 1985 to 2020, with Moist Kolla experiencing the highest increase at the expense of woodland, due the introduction of commercial farming to this hotter, less populated and inaccessible area. Moist Dega exhibited the highest allocation changes within cropland and forest, attributable to farmers’ adoption of rotational land use to rehabilitate extensively degraded cultivated lands. Under the BAU scenario, projections suggest further cropland expansion at expense of woodland in Moist Kolla and built-up areas at the expense of cropland and grassland in Moist Dega. Under the LC scenario, forest cover is expected to increase at the expense of cropland across all agroecologies. The historical and projected BAU LULC change scenario substantially increased soil erosion and reduced ecosystem services. These effects can be minimized if LC scenario is properly implemented.

The visible and near-infrared (Vis-NIR) spectroscopy method can be used for the prediction of OC and TN because it is reliable, nondestructive, fast, and cost-effective. VIS-NIR soil spectral and environmental data were combined with the Partial least squares regression (PLSR) model to examine the effect of topography attributes and land use on topsoil and subsoil OC and TN stocks. After this, based on the soil depth, 114 soil samples were collected from 0 to 20 cm (topsoil) and 20–50 cm (subsoil) under three land uses, as well as OC and TN, along with several soil properties including soil particles (sand, silt, clay), pH, and bulk density in both topsoil and subsoil samples were measured. A DEM with a resolution of 30 m was used to derive the topography factors and remote sensing data was used to calculate the vegetation index. Soils (0–50 cm) under orchard land use had the highest stock of SOC (7.4 kg m<sup>−2</sup>) as well as TN (2.4 kg m<sup>−2</sup>). There was a significant increase in the organic matter stock of soils located on the south aspect (8.3 kg m<sup>−2</sup>) compared to soils located on other aspects, particularly on the north aspect (3.9% increase). Soils on the south aspect contain higher soil-water contents and lower temperatures, resulting in a decrease in the decomposition of soil organic matter. A strong positive correlation was demonstrated between topography wetness index (0.57–0.63) and topography TN stocks (0.54–0.66) as well as the highest loading score among terrain attributes, suggesting that topography is the primary factor controlling SOC stocks, particularly subsoil stocks.

The results showed that infiltrated rainwater tended to move into deep thawed soil, following which the frozen layer forced horizontal transport along the hillslope. This indicated that thaw depths along the soil profile regulated the dominant runoff path. The accumulated precipitation of the previous days had a significant impact on runoff generation. There was minimal lateral subsurface flow when the saturated zone was absent, whereas lateral subsurface flow increased with increasing thickness of the saturated zone.
