Abstract:

On the Loess Plateau, vast farmlands have suffered from severe land degradation and soil erosion. Afforestation and natural vegetation restoration are two main methods for ecological restoration on the degraded farmland in the last few decades. Previous studies have mainly investigated the effects of the two methods on soil organic carbon (SOC). However, few studies have focused on the influence of the two methods on soil inorganic carbon (SIC), which is the fundamental component of the local soil carbon pool. On the Loess Plateau, we measured SOC and SIC stocks, and the stable carbon isotope

Abstract:

For satisfactory growth, most high-value hardwood species demand a deep, fertile, moist but well drained soil. Intensive competition control during the early years after planting is a necessity. Close spacing is recommended, with gradual release of crop trees to promote high-quality stem development. For good hardwood growth on soils of marginal fertility or poor drainage or on sites where intensive management cannot be guaranteed, it is recommended that a mixture of several hardwood species be planted.

Abstract:

Soil microorganisms are integral to nutrient cycling, ecosystem functioning, and soil restoration. However, the information on the response of soil eukaryotic microbial communities to land-use transformations, particularly for afforestation, remains underexplored in the mountainous region of northwest Shanxi on the Loess Plateau. The study based on high-throughput sequencing of 18S rRNA sequences, elucidated the impact of afforestation on soil eukaryotic microbial communities in this ecologically sensitive region. The findings indicated that afforestation significantly altered the composition

Afforestation programs such as the one promoted by the EU Common Agricultural Policy have spread tree plantations on former cropland.

AbstractSoil organic carbon (SOC) is a great component of the global carbon cycle and plays significant role in terms of climatic changes and agricultural land-use. An important management concern is the extent of SOC stocks sequestration when farmland is converted to forest stands.

Accumulation of SOC was monitored in 17 examples (41 samples) in 9 locations across the all Czech Republic with focus on the main tree sp

During the C cycle, inorganic C is enriched in heavy isotopes (13C), while organic C, due to photosynthetic fractionation, is enriched in light isotopes (12C). This leads to distinct C isotope fractionation in terrestrial ecosystems. In this study, 72 paired soils (0–20 cm) from poplar shelterbelts and adjacent farmland sites were collected

Abstract:

Over the last few years, new land use planning instruments to reduce the negative consequences of recent land use/cover changes (farmland abandonment, wildfires) have been proposed in Galicia (northwest Spain). Understanding the complex relationship between biophysical constraints, socioeconomic drivers and land use/cover changes is paramount for their successful implementation. In this work, we present an analysis of recent (2005–2017) land use/cover changes in the region, along with a classification of municipalities in homogeneous groups with different patterns of land use and land us

Abstract:

Under the situation of the ecological environment damage, the ecological compensation is becoming one of the focal points of the society in China. In responding to the decision of the Central Government positively, all provinces and municipalities have carried out a variety of plots of ecological compensation, in addition to large-scale ecological engineering projects implemented by the Central Government, including Three-North projects, Natural forest protection, Beijing-Tianjin sandstorm sources governance, and Returning farmland to forest/grassland which came into effective since the late 1

Abstract:

In China, the Returning Farmland to Forest Program (RFFP) has afforested large areas, transforming land and livelihoods. By impacting vegetation cover, it may also drive spatial pattern changes across landscapes. Most studies have focused on time series data as a means to determine the effectiveness of the program, but there is a paucity of community-level comparative studies. Twelve communities in Northwest Yunnan Province were selected to test whether the RFFP changed landscape patterns by testing the following hypotheses: with (or without) the RFFP, forest and shrubland fragmentations would

Abstract:

Soil respiration (SR) is an important process in the carbon cycle. However, the means by which changes in understory plant community traits affect this ecosystem process is still poorly understood. In this study, plant species surveys were conducted and soil samples were collected from forests dominated by black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.), with a chronosequence of 15, 25, and 40 years (RP15, RP25, and RP40, respectively), and farmland (FL). Understory plant coverage, evenness, diversity, and richness were determined. We investigated soil microbial biomass carbon (MBC), nitrogen (MBN), ph

Abstract:

Since the 1980s, with rapid economic development and increased attention given to ecological protection, China has launched a series of ecological-restoration programs to restore the local environment through afforestation and natural forest protection. The evaluation of vegetation restoration is an important part of evaluating the effectiveness of ecological restoration. The Loess Plateau is an area where ecological problems are concentrated, and it is a key area of ecological construction in China. This paper takes the Loess Plateau as the research area, using remote sensing and geographic i

Abstract:

Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays a crucial role in arid zones, while land-use change could lead to changes in the balance of SOC. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the impact of land-use change on the temporal and spatial variability in SOC at the county scale. A semi-arid zone (Aohan County, Northeast China) covering a surface of 3800 km2 was selected for this study. SOC data for 65 and 182 soil samples from 1985 and 2021, respectively, were collected for major land-use types (forestland, farmland, grassland, and sandy land) across Aohan County to a depth of 20 cm.

Abstract:

The rapid population growth in Southern Ethiopia's North-Bilate watershed, specifically in the Boyo Lake area, has resulted in widespread deforestation and soil erosion, affecting the livelihood of farmers. Thus, the current study aimed at assessing the effects of land cover change on soil erosion and agricultural land. For this purpose, 2 lands sat ETM images for the years 2000 and 2020 which have 30*30m resolution were used. The main trajectories of land use change are based on five land use classes which are farmland, built-up area, forest, bare land, water, and open area derived from the r
