Land use change alters biodiversity and soil quality and thus affects ecosystem functions.
This study investigated the effects of changes in land use on major soil quality indicators …

Soil degradation impairs ecosystem functions, and vegetation restoration is a major eco-
engineering method that is used to restore soils globally. Despite the fundamental role that …

The stability of soil aggregates is an indicator of restoration of soil in degraded ecosystems.
A multitude of factors such as properties of plant roots and soil have been suggested to …

Steep gully slopes are widespread and have been recognized as the main sediment source
on the Loess Plateau. Different vegetation growth may lead to the differences in soil …

In many tropical regions, such as New Caledonia, soil erosion from anthropogenic activities
and subsequent ecological restoration are major issues that require detailed soil and …

Vegetation restoration is identified as an effective approach to control soil erosion and
affects soil detachment and resistance to concentrated flow on the Loess Plateau. However …

Land use change can significantly alter the distribution of different soil aggregates, thereby
influencing aggregate stability and aggregate-associated organic carbon (OC). However …

Soil aggregate stability is a feasible and effective factor to understand the complex
interactions between physicochemical properties and soil structure. To reveal the …

Revegetation in fragile ecosystems is an efficient means to increase aggregate stability and
thus reduce soil erosion. However, the influence of large-scale afforestation on soil …

Revegetation has been proven to significantly affect soil erodibility of gully heads, and
climate conditions are expected to affect soil erodibility by determining the vegetation …
