Abstract Changes in land use and ecosystem services influence each other and such
changes have consequences for human wellbeing. In this paper, we review the research …

Most of Earth's terrestrial surface is made up of sloping landscapes. The lateral distribution
of topsoil by erosion controls the availability, stock, and persistence of essential elements in …

Check dams have been used throughout the world for a variety of purposes including torrent
control, water supply enhancement, agricultural land development, and watershed …

Cover crops (CCs) minimize the loss of soil in permanent cropping systems where the soil is
usually bare due to intense tillage or overuse of herbicides. The topsoil, the richer layer in …

Carbon (C) is a key product of forests, but not widely studied for available C stock, and
biomass of tree species in typical forest ecosystems of India. Therefore, it is useful to …

Soil organic carbon stock (SOCS) assessments at a national level are essential in the
climate change mitigation role. Our study provides the first assessment of the SOC stored in …

Accelerated soil erosion, driven by anthropogenic activities such as conversion of natural
ecosystems to agroecosystems and mechanical tillage, has numerous adverse impacts on …

Land degradation by erosion is especially important in drylands, which are among the most
vulnerable to disturbance by human activity or climate change. Biocrusts are an essential …

The research focused on the evaluation of the effect of soil erosion processes on SOC
sequestration rate after 5 years of cover crop soil management in Mediterranean vineyards …

景观格局与生态过程的耦合研究是景观生态学研究的核心科学问题, 也是综合自然地理学深化和
发展的关键. 尺度广泛存在于生态学现象中, 尺度效应与尺度转换是景观生态学研究面临的挑战 …
