This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different riparian vegetation buffer strip on soil organic nitrogen components and microbial communities. Three types of riparian vegetation buffer strips along Taihu Lake in Yixing City (mixed poplar (Populus × euramericana \"Nanlin 95\") and Taxodium \"zhongshanshan\" (Taxodium \"zhongshanshan\"), pure poplar, and pure Taxodium \"zhongshanshan\") were compared with barren land (HD) as control. Soil nitrogen components, microbial community characteristics, abundance, and their relationships were analyzed across 0-60 cm soil profiles. Results showed that all riparian vegetation buffer strips significantly increased soil total nitrogen (TN) content compared to HD, with content decreasing with soil depth. Riparian vegetation buffer strips significantly enhanced microbial abundance and diversity, with mixed buffer strips exhibiting the highest abundance of Chloroflexi and Acidobacteriota, which contribute positively to nitrogen cycling. RDA revealed that soil nitrogen components and enzyme activities were positively correlated with soil organic carbon (SOC) content but negatively with total potassium (TK) content. The microbial communities in mixed riparian vegetation buffer strips and pure Taxodium \"zhongshanshan\" buffer strips were closely associated with organic nitrogen parameters (P < 0.05), while communities in pure poplar buffer strips and HD were more related to TK. These findings demonstrate that strategically designed mixed riparian vegetation buffer strips offer superior enhancement of soil nitrogen cycling and microbial diversity compared to pure vegetation buffer strips, these findings provide valuable insights for optimizing riparian vegetation buffer strips design to improve soil quality and nitrogen management in lakeside ecosystems.</p>","PeriodicalId":543,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144590157","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}

Crotone was profoundly affected by extensive production activities cantered on phosphatic cycles for fertilizer production. The resulting industrial waste containing TENORM was repurposed for civil works across the city, leading to widespread contamination.

By tracing local assets over time and examining how these change in response to socio-economic and environmental factors, the study explores how leveraging local assets can contribute to holistic sustainable, and context-sensitive management of contaminated sites. The study reveals that interactions among community capitals are complex and multidimensional, with changes in one capital often having varied effects on others.

In China, however, CS projects often face challenges, such as low public engagement, limited institutional support, and weak long-term sustainability. This study investigates Guiyang's CS initiatives in watershed governance through an action research approach, applying two analytical frameworks, a six-stage lifecycle model and a participation typology, to examine project design, implementation, and the evolution of citizen involvement. Findings show that Guiyang's CS projects, although rooted in rural communities, expanded the coverage and responsiveness of environmental monitoring by mobilizing local knowledge and activating dense community networks. A \"point-to-surface\" strategy, using trained civilian environmental supervisors to engage local residents, was supported by expert assistance and structured training to overcome technical and knowledge barriers. The study reveals that, by responding to environmental governance needs, embedding CS within rural social structures, and fostering adaptive capacities, these projects integrated into China's policy-driven governance model and local socio-cultural contexts. Three key drivers of sustained development were identified: responsive governance mechanisms, digital tools and a supportive policy environment. Nonetheless, persistent challenges remain, including unstable participation, uneven technical capacity, and intermittent policy support. This study illustrates how CS can be effectively localized in different governance systems and highlights new pathways for participatory environmental governance in the Global South.</p>","PeriodicalId":543,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Management","volume":" ","pages":"1758-1774"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144075114","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}

The present study investigates the impact of open-cast coal mining on land use and land cover (LULC) and ecosystem service valuation (ESV) in the Bhadravati area from 1993 to 2023. Results showed that mining activities expanded dramatically, increasing from 21.49 km<sup>2</sup> (8%) in 1993 to 56.43 km<sup>2</sup> (21%) in 2023, driven by economic and industrial growth. Built-up areas have similarly expanded from 18.84 km<sup>2</sup> (7%) to 45.68 km<sup>2</sup> (17%), due to rapid urbanisation. This expansion contributed to a decline in agricultural lands, which shrank from 204.20 km<sup>2</sup> (76%) to 96.74 km<sup>2</sup> (36%), leading to a 52.66% decrease in the ESV of agriculture from $1.88 million to $0.89 million. On the other side, vegetation cover tripled from 16.12 km<sup>2</sup> (6%) to 61.80 km<sup>2</sup> (23%), due to successful reforestation and land management efforts of the mining company. This increase in vegetation contributed to a 283.58% rise in its ESV, from $3.23 million in 1993 to $12.40 million in 2023.

The Ganj basin in Iran, consisting of three villages, was selected as the study area. Socioeconomic data from the traditional sanctums of each village were collected through surveys and interviews, and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was used to analyze the relationship between participation history and socioeconomic traits.

The Ganj sanctum demonstrated the highest preference for participation in watershed plans. Additionally, the study highlights that relying solely on existing biophysical and socioeconomic government data is inadequate for comprehensive and participatory watershed management. Instead, local assessments, such as questionnaire-based studies, can uncover critical insights into both tangible and intangible factors, thereby improving planning accuracy.

This paper presents experience from safeguarding long-term strategic ecological surveys established by the late Professor Robert Bunce and colleagues in the 1970s: the Great Britain Countryside Surveys, and various related and complementary surveys in the period 1969 to the mid-1990s, including woodland surveys, and regional surveys for Cumbria and Shetland. These surveys are valuable data sources - especially considering national and global ecological restoration targets to address the biodiversity crisis - providing evidence to explore and understand ecological changes in the British countryside over time. For these kinds of data to be useful, usable and used, it is essential they are accessible and well managed, but many important ecological data sets are at risk of loss. A decade of work to protect the Bunce surveys has resulted in a structured five-step approach that can benefit other data rescue and safeguarding initiatives as well as scientists planning new ecological monitoring projects. The steps involve identifying available resources, processing datasets, assembling metadata, producing outputs and publishing. Valuable lessons learnt in the process include: (1) the growing appreciation and relevance of historic ecological data; (2) the importance of adequate resourcing and recognition of data rescue activity; (3) the value of engaging with the originators; (4) the need to identify and understand potential users and uses of the data.
