In the Africa Sahel region, as well as the largest ecological project in Africa——The Green Great Wall, characterized by diverse and dynamic ecosystems, the quantification of vegetation degradation and NPP variability remains limited and uncertain. Therefore, this study provides substantiating evidence to support the enhancement and preservation of vegetative ecosystems in the Sahel region by analyzing spatial and temporal variations in NPP and its driving factors from 2001 to 2020. The Theil-Sen median and the Mann-Kendall significance test were employed to evaluate the NPP spatio-temporal patterns, while the geographical detector model was implemented to measure the influence of environmental variables within the Great Green Wall corridor. We found that the NPP exhibited an upward trend, with 121.97 gC m<sup>−2</sup> annual average between 2001 and 2020. Over the past two decades of the Green Great Wall Project, approximately 40 % of the region exhibited an increase in NPP, 7 % experienced a decline, while 53 % remained desert or bare land. Spatially, the highest observed NPP was recorded in Ethiopia at 556.23 gC m<sup>−2</sup> yr<sup>−1</sup>, while the lowest value observed was in Niger at 0.43 gC m<sup>−2</sup> yr<sup>−1</sup>. The geographical detector analysis indicated that temperature and precipitation emerged as the dominant climatic driver of NPP variability, while interaction analysis revealed that the combined influence of precipitation and temperature had the strongest effect on NPP dynamics during the study period.

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), particularly from the Sentinel-1 constellation, provides all-weather, high-resolution data capable of capturing structural and moisture-related vegetation attributes. This review evaluates the potential of Sentinel-1 SAR data for assessing and monitoring forage productivity in rangeland ecosystems. It highlights recent applications demonstrating Sentinel-1's effectiveness in forage productivity estimation and its integration with optical sensors like Sentinel-2 to enhance monitoring accuracy. Despite its advantages, challenges such as spatial resolution constraints, ecological sensitivity, and complex data processing impede full operational deployment. Future directions emphasize advanced data fusion techniques, machine learning approaches, and enhanced preprocessing algorithms to optimize Sentinel-1's utility. Integrating SAR with optical datasets promises to facilitate scalable, cost-effective, and reliable rangeland management strategies, supporting sustainable forage utilization and ecosystem resilience. Therefore, governments, the private sector, and NGOs should invest in Earth Observation infrastructure and capacity-building to translate remote sensing into actionable policies that promote sustainable rangeland management, climate change adaptation, and food security.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51080,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Arid Environments","volume":"232 ","pages":"Article 105494"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145221159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, we performed a bibliometric review to assess the current research status of soil health studies on biochar use in dryland soils.

Physical parameters were the least commonly evaluated by the soil health studies with biochar application in drylands, despite their relevance. Research in the area highlights the overall potential of biochar to increase key parameters associated with land conservation in dry areas, such as nutrient availability, water retention, carbon sequestration, and crop productivity.

The analysis reveals a polyphasic history where subsequent pedogenic processes overprint primary geomorphic signatures. The initial state of the parent material is defined by a dominant suite of aeolian microtextures, including high-gloss polish and mechanical impact marks, indicative of prolonged transport in a mobile dune system. This primary surface is consistently altered by features diagnostic of incipient pedogenesis, such as chemical dissolution etching and authigenic growth of complex iron- and chlorine-rich aluminosilicate precipitates. Significantly, the recent, widespread expansion of irrigated agriculture provides a powerful modern analogue for the natural arid-humid cycles of the Quaternary.The seasonal, human-induced humidification of the sandy substrate creates the precise conditions required for these chemical alteration processes.
