Tropical dry forests and savannas are critical yet understudied ecosystems that regulate global biogeochemical cycles and support biodiversity. However, their functioning is increasingly threatened by anthropogenic disturbances and climate change. Here, we present a decade‐long study (2005–2014) examining litterfall dynamics and nutrient cycling across protection gradients (permanently protected [PP], moderately protected [MP], and unprotected [UP] stands) in India's Vindhyan plateau, where forests are transitioning to savannas due to land‐use change. Using field measurements, satellite data, and ecological modeling, we quantified how protection status mediates ecosystem processes in these contrasting biomes. We found that protection status overrides biome differences in driving ecosystem function. PP stands maintained 35%–50% higher annual litterfall (6.4 vs. 3.2 Mg ha −1 yr −1 ) and double the nutrient return rates (2.54 vs. 1.19 Mg ha −1 yr −1 ) compared to UP stands, facilitated by microclimatic buffering (3°C–5°C cooler soils, 15%–20% higher humidity) and reduced disturbance. Forests exhibited “elastic resilience,” resisting degradation until abrupt collapse under high disturbance, whereas savannas showed “graded resilience,” declining linearly with disturbance intensity. Alarmingly, MP stands displayed limited recovery, suggesting passive protection alone is insufficient for restoration. Disturbances disrupted nutrient cycling, with UP areas showing 20%–25% higher nutrient use efficiency (NUE)—a short‐term survival strategy that reduces long‐term nutrient availability. Savanna UP sites are projected to lose 30%–40% of litterfall capacity by 2035, risking irreversible degradation. Landsat data revealed a 6.3% decline in forest cover (2002–2014), exacerbating fire‐prone feedback loops. Our findings underscore that protection is paramount for maintaining tropical dry ecosystem functions. Forests require fire suppression, while savannas need grazing management. We advocate for landscape‐scale conservation integrating protected cores with buffered use zones. This study provides a framework for managing biome‐specific resilience in the face of global change, emphasizing urgent, targeted interventions to avert ecosystem collapse.
热带干燥森林和稀树草原是调节全球生物地球化学循环和支持生物多样性的重要生态系统,但研究不足。然而,它们的功能日益受到人为干扰和气候变化的威胁。在这里,我们提出了一项长达十年的研究(2005-2014),研究了印度温德扬高原的凋落物动态和养分循环,这些凋落物跨越保护梯度(永久保护[PP],中等保护[MP]和未保护[UP]),由于土地利用变化,森林正在向稀树草原过渡。利用野外测量、卫星数据和生态模型,我们量化了保护状况如何在这些不同的生物群系中调节生态系统过程。我们发现保护状态在驱动生态系统功能方面超越了生物群系差异。与UP林分相比,PP林分的年凋落物量高出35%-50%(6.4比3.2 Mg ha - 1年−1年−1),养分返还率翻倍(2.54比1.19 Mg ha - 1年−1年−1),这得益于小气候缓冲(3°C - 5°C较冷的土壤,15%-20%较高的湿度)和干扰减少。森林表现出“弹性恢复力”,在高干扰下抵抗退化直至突然崩溃,而稀树草原表现出“分级恢复力”,随干扰强度线性下降。令人担忧的是,MP展台显示出有限的恢复,这表明仅靠被动保护不足以恢复。干扰破坏了养分循环,UP地区的养分利用效率(NUE)提高了20%-25%,这是一种短期生存策略,会降低长期养分的可用性。预计到2035年,热带草原UP地区将失去30%-40%的凋落物容量,面临不可逆转的退化风险。Landsat数据显示,2002-2014年森林覆盖率下降了6.3%,加剧了火灾易发反馈循环。我们的发现强调了保护对于维持热带干旱生态系统功能至关重要。森林需要灭火,而稀树草原需要放牧管理。我们提倡景观尺度的保护,将受保护的核心与缓冲的使用区域结合起来。该研究为面对全球变化管理生物群系特有的恢复力提供了框架,强调了避免生态系统崩溃的紧急、有针对性的干预措施。

Coastal sandy soils pose a challenge for microbial nutrient retention due to low organic matter and high leaching. While plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) show promise, their functional synergies in these ecosystems—particularly beyond phosphorus limitation—remain unclear. We investigated their complementary roles in enhancing soil function and Casuarina equisetifolia growth under nutrient‐depleted conditions. A 150‐day pot experiment evaluated the synergistic effects of PGPR ( Paenibacillus kribbensis LB18/LB19, P. cellulositrophicus LB46, Brucella pseudogrignonensis LQ10) and AMF ( Funneliformis mosseae ) through soil enzymatic activity, nutrient dynamics, and plant growth metrics. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and redundancy analysis (RDA) were employed to dissect soil–plant–microbe interactions. Dual PGPR‐AMF inoculation enhanced soil enzymatic activity (dehydrogenase: 1.6‐fold; catalase: +57%) and total nitrogen (18.28 mg g −1 ). However, single inoculation with LQ10 outperformed dual treatments, increasing plant height (+102.2%) and biomass (+254.1%) via root architecture optimization. Indole‐3‐acetic acid (IAA) synthesis and cellulase activity correlated strongly with nutrient cycling (AN: r = 0.54–0.61; AP: r = 0.56–0.67). SEM identified soil nutrient dynamics ( R 2 = 0.506) and antioxidant enzyme networks as growth determinants, with potassium availability ( λ = 0.835) and superoxide dismutase activity ( λ = 0.527) dominating RDA. Structural equation modeling (SEM) revealed that dual inoculation triggered metabolic trade‐offs, suppressing host plant secondary metabolism ( β = −0.514) while concurrently enhancing plant physiological resilience, as evidenced by coordinated upregulation of antioxidant enzymes and osmoprotectant levels. Microbial functional traits (e.g., IAA production, cellulolysis) critically regulate soil–plant feedback in nutrient‐poor systems. We propose a time‐resolved framework for microbial consortia design, where PGPR–AMF synergism is constrained by host carbon allocation thresholds and potassium availability.
海岸带沙质土壤有机质含量低、淋滤率高,对微生物养分保持提出了挑战。虽然促进植物生长的根茎细菌(PGPR)和丛枝菌根真菌(AMF)显示出希望,但它们在这些生态系统中的功能协同作用(特别是在磷限制之外)仍不清楚。研究了它们在养分枯竭条件下增强土壤功能和木麻黄生长的互补作用。通过150天的盆栽试验,通过土壤酶活性、养分动态和植物生长指标,评估了PGPR(克里本拟芽孢杆菌LB18/LB19、P. cellulositrophicus LB46、伪格里诺布鲁氏菌LQ10)和AMF (mosseae)的协同效应。采用结构方程模型(SEM)和冗余分析(RDA)对土壤-植物-微生物相互作用进行了分析。双PGPR - AMF接种提高了土壤酶活性(脱氢酶:1.6倍;过氧化氢酶:+57%)和总氮(18.28 mg g - 1)。单次接种LQ10优于双次接种,通过优化根构型,提高了株高(+102.2%)和生物量(+254.1%)。吲哚- 3 -乙酸(IAA)合成和纤维素酶活性与养分循环密切相关(AN: r = 0.54-0.61; AP: r = 0.56-0.67)。SEM发现土壤养分动态(r2 = 0.506)和抗氧化酶网络是生长的决定因素,钾有效性(λ = 0.835)和超氧化物歧化酶活性(λ = 0.527)主导RDA。结构方程模型(SEM)显示,双重接种引发了代谢权衡,抑制了寄主植物的次生代谢(β = - 0.514),同时增强了植物的生理弹性,这可以通过抗氧化酶和渗透保护剂水平的协同上调来证明。微生物功能性状(例如,IAA生产,纤维素分解)在养分贫乏的系统中对土壤-植物反馈起到关键调节作用。我们提出了一个时间解决的微生物群落设计框架,其中PGPR-AMF协同作用受到宿主碳分配阈值和钾可用性的限制。

In recent years, the frequency of extreme climate events has risen significantly, exerting profound effects on both terrestrial ecosystems and human well-being. The Central Yunnan Urban Agglomeration, an ecologically sensitive region, is especially vulnerable to these changes. This study, conducted using the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform, utilizes trend analysis, Hurst exponent evaluation, correlation analysis, and random forest modeling to explore the spatiotemporal dynamics of vegetation greenness in the region and its response to extreme climate events. The main results are as follows: (1) From 2000 to 2022, vegetation greenness showed significant improvement with an annual growth rate of 0.003 (R2 = 0.69). Over half of the study area exhibited increasing trends across temporal scales, and a general upward trend over the past two decades, despite spring values being consistently lower than other seasons and low-value areas concentrating in the eastern region and urban peripheries. (2) Vegetation stability was relatively low, with one-third of areas showing high interannual variability and two-thirds exhibiting high seasonal variability. (3) The annual mean Hurst index values were all below 0.5, with over 60% displaying anti-persistent increasing trends, suggesting that while the overall trend may continue to rise, future patterns could differ from the past. (4) Vegetation greenness was primarily influenced by extreme temperatures, which had a far greater impact than precipitation events. The key factors identified for vegetation changes were consecutive dry days (CDD), extreme precipitation (R95p), and temperature extremes (TN90p, TX10p, TX90p), each accounting for over 30% of the changes. In conclusion, this study reveals the complex ecological dynamic of concurrent “vegetation growth and vulnerability,” providing a scientific basis for formulating ecosystem conservation and restoration policies in the region.
近年来,极端气候事件的频率显著上升,对陆地生态系统和人类福祉都产生了深远影响。滇中城市群作为生态敏感区,尤其容易受到这些变化的影响。利用谷歌Earth Engine (GEE)平台,运用趋势分析、Hurst指数评价、相关分析和随机森林建模等方法,探讨了该地区植被绿度的时空动态及其对极端气候事件的响应。结果表明:(1)2000 ~ 2022年,植被绿度显著提高,年增长率为0.003 (R2 = 0.69);尽管春季值始终低于其他季节,且低值区主要集中在东部地区和城市外围,但超过一半的研究区在时间尺度上呈现上升趋势,且在过去20年中总体呈上升趋势。(2)植被稳定性较低,1 / 3地区年际变化较大,2 / 3地区季节变化较大。(3) Hurst指数的年平均值均小于0.5,60%以上呈反持续上升趋势,表明尽管总体趋势可能继续上升,但未来的格局可能与过去不同。(4)植被绿度主要受极端温度的影响,极端温度对植被绿度的影响远大于降水事件。植被变化的关键因子为连续干旱日数(CDD)、极端降水(R95p)和极端温度(TN90p、TX10p、TX90p),各占变化的30%以上。综上所述,本研究揭示了该地区“植被生长与脆弱性”并存的复杂生态动态,为该地区生态系统保护与恢复政策的制定提供了科学依据。

Conversion of tropical rainforest to pasture reduces soil carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) contents. Ecological restoration supports soil nutrient recovery, but the effectiveness of restoration strategies may differ, informing management and choice. We compared soil nutrient concentrations in 0–5 cm and 5–20 cm layers of a 13‐year‐old restoration experiment in Los Tuxtlas, Mexico, under natural succession and mixed‐species plantings, with pasture and reference forest as controls, and also examined altitudinal (182–256 m) variation, C 4 ‐derived C, and natural abundance of 15 N. Plantings with animal‐dispersed species had 92% higher C concentration in the upper soil than pasture, likely due to high fine root biomass and decomposition. In addition, animal‐dispersed plantings showed a 122% higher NO 3 :NH 4 + ratio in deeper soil than natural succession, possibly due to greater animal N deposition and enhanced N mineralization and nitrification processes. Other nutrient comparisons placed the three restoration treatments generally between forest and pasture; among restoration treatments, no other differences had p < 0.10. No evidence of nutrient runoff was detected, despite the slope (182–256 masl). C 4 ‐derived C in the upper soil was around 5 times higher in animal‐ and wind‐plantings than in forest, reflecting grass‐to‐forest conversion. In natural succession plots, 15 N natural abundance correlated negatively with Fabaceae basal area, reflecting the legacy effects of leguminous tree species. Overall, differences among restoration strategies were few and minor, indicating that nutrient recovery alone cannot guide the choice between natural succession and mixed‐species plantings; broader ecological and practical objectives should instead shape decisions.
热带雨林向牧场的转变减少了土壤中的碳(C)、氮(N)和磷(P)含量。生态恢复支持土壤养分恢复,但恢复策略的有效性可能不同,为管理和选择提供了信息。在墨西哥Los Tuxtlas进行的一项为期13年的恢复实验中,我们比较了自然演替和混合物种种植下0-5 cm和5-20 cm土层的土壤养分浓度,以牧场和参考林为对照,并研究了海拔(182-256 m)的变化、c4衍生的C和15 n的自然丰度。动物分散物种的种植在上层土壤中的C浓度比牧场高92%,这可能是由于细根生物量和分解量高。此外,与自然演替相比,动物分散种植的深层土壤no3−:nh4 +比值高出122%,这可能是由于动物氮沉降更大、氮矿化和硝化过程增强所致。其他养分比较表明,三种恢复处理一般介于森林和牧场之间;各修复处理间差异无p <; 0.10。尽管有坡度(182-256 masl),但没有发现养分径流的证据。在动物和风力种植的土壤中,上层土壤中的c4来源的碳含量大约是森林的5倍,反映了草向森林的转化。在自然演替样地,15 N自然丰度与豆科基面积呈负相关,反映了豆科树种的遗产效应。总体而言,不同恢复策略之间的差异很小,表明仅靠养分恢复不能指导自然演替和混合种种植之间的选择;相反,更广泛的生态和实际目标应该影响决策。

Limestone mining is a major contributor to cement production in South India's Ariyalur region. However, its impact on regional hydrogeological systems, particularly, the Kallar River and adjacent groundwater reserves, requires further investigation. This study employs an integrated approach combining groundwater table elevation data, hydrodynamics, hydrogeochemical analysis, and geospatial systems to evaluate the effects of mining activities. The Kallar River's flow direction is found to be opposite to the dip of the limestone beds. The presence of marl (CaCO3 + clay) occasionally induces seepages and slope failures in the mines, though not at a significant rate. The shows a semiconfined to confined aquifer system with limestone formations of low permeability and limited water yield. The groundwater samples (May 2024, 33 samples) assessed for water quality showed pH is within the limits and a significant proportion of samples exceeded permissible limits for TDS (27.27%), Na+ (39.39%), K+ (18.18%), Ca2+ (3.03%), Mg2+ (6.06%), HCO3 (12.12%), Cl (15.15%), SO42− (12.12%), and NO3 (24.24%). Hydrogeochemical analysis using Piper and Gibbs plots indicates a dominance of Ca–Mg–Cl–SO4 type water, governed by rock–water interactions and anthropogenic influences. The Nitrate Pollution Index and classified 49% of samples as Clean, and WAWQI classified over 52% of samples as safe for human consumption.

石灰石开采是印度南部阿里亚鲁尔地区水泥生产的主要来源。然而,它对区域水文地质系统的影响,特别是对Kallar河和邻近地下水储量的影响,需要进一步调查。本研究采用地下水位高程数据、水动力学、水文地球化学分析和地理空间系统相结合的综合方法来评价采矿活动的影响。卡拉尔河的流向与石灰岩层的倾斜方向相反。泥灰岩(CaCO3 +粘土)的存在偶尔会引起矿井的渗漏和边坡破坏,但发生率并不高。该含水层为半精细-承压含水层,具有低渗透、限产的石灰岩地层。地下水水质评价样品(2024年5月,33个样品)pH值在允许范围内,TDS(27.27%)、Na+(39.39%)、K+(18.18%)、Ca2+(3.03%)、Mg2+(6.06%)、HCO3−(12.12%)、Cl−(15.15%)、SO42−(12.12%)、NO3−(24.24%)超过允许范围。利用Piper和Gibbs图进行水文地球化学分析表明,受岩石-水相互作用和人为影响,Ca-Mg-Cl-SO4型水占主导地位。硝酸盐污染指数和将49%的样品分类为清洁,WAWQI将52%以上的样品分类为人类食用安全。总体而言,由于Kallar河与邻近矿区之间的水文连通性有限,环境恶化程度最低。该研究建议采取生态恢复措施和建设保护性堤防,以确保在这一敏感的石灰岩地形中地下水资源的长期可持续性。

Vegetation succession in aquatic and littoral habitats has received much less attention than terrestrial habitats have. We sampled differently aged successional stages at five different types of post‐mining sites, that is, sandpits, stone quarries, clay quarries, brown coal spoil heaps and black coal subsidences, across the Czech Republic, Central Europe. They ranged in age since creation from 1 to 89 years. The chronosequence approach was adopted. The succession was described based on plant species identity and selected life‐history traits of these species. Alongside vegetation data, the effects of environmental variables, namely age, water depth, pH, conductivity, elevation, area and substratum type (mainly the proportion of organic material) on vegetation development were analysed. Altogether, 254 vascular plant species and 7 charophytes were identified. The types of mining sites differed in species composition and number of species per plot with the littorals of sandpits being the most species‐rich habitat. The water table was one of the main driving factors alongside age and accumulation of organic material. The successional stages (young, middle, late) significantly differed in their vegetation composition in littoral habitats in sandpits and in aquatic habitats of sandpits and brown coal spoil heaps only. The succession of littoral vegetation prevailingly runs towards more compact vegetation dominated by tall perennial graminoids, while aquatic vegetation was mostly characterised by random occurrence of species and partly affected by accumulation of nutrients in later stages. Spontaneous succession in aquatic and littoral habitats leads to valuable semi‐natural vegetation and can thus be considered to be a reliable restoration method of such post‐mining sites in Central Europe.
与陆地生境相比,水生和沿海生境的植被演替受到的关注少得多。我们在五种不同类型的采矿后遗址(即沙坑、采石场、粘土采石场、褐煤矸石堆和黑煤沉降)取样了不同年龄的演替阶段,这些地点遍布中欧捷克共和国。他们的年龄从1岁到89岁不等。采用时间顺序法。根据植物的物种特征和选择的生活史特征来描述植物的演替。除植被数据外,还分析了年龄、水深、pH、电导率、海拔、面积和基质类型(主要是有机质比例)等环境变量对植被发育的影响。共鉴定出维管植物254种,蕨类植物7种。矿区类型在物种组成和样地物种数量上存在差异,以沙坑沿岸为物种最丰富的生境。地下水位是除年龄和有机质积累外的主要驱动因素之一。滨海沙坑生境与水生沙坑生境和褐煤矸石堆生境的植被组成在演替阶段(年轻、中期、晚期)存在显著差异。沿海植被的演替主要是向以高大的多年生禾本科植物为主的更紧凑的植被演替,而水生植被的特征主要是物种的随机发生,部分受后期养分积累的影响。水生和沿海生境的自然演替导致有价值的半自然植被,因此可以被认为是中欧此类采矿后遗址的可靠恢复方法。

Globally, the sociological, ethnological, economic, demographic, and psychological aspects of migration have been studied extensively. However, a critical gap remains in the systematic quantitative assessment of its ecological effectiveness, particularly concerning planned ecological resettlement projects (ERP). This study examined the interrelationships among ERP implementation, climate change (CC), land use and land cover (LULC) change, net primary productivity (NPP), and soil erosion (SE) dynamics. We propose a new spatiotemporal analytical framework integrating geostatistical methods to explore how ERP influences land‐use patterns, soil conservation, and land productivity. Focusing on 19 counties and districts in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, the study utilizes MODIS‐derived NPP data, LANDSAT‐based LULC classification, SE, ECMWF Reanalysis v5 (ERA5) meteorological data (2001–2022), and demographic statistics from the Ningxia Statistical Yearbook (1985–2022) to evaluate the spatiotemporal changes and drivers of ecological quality in out‐ and in‐migration areas before and after ERP implementation. Key findings include: (1) All 19 counties participated in the ERP, resettling approximately 974,800 migrants between 1999 and 2020. (2) The project substantially reconfigured land‐use patterns. In out‐migration areas, the urban impervious area increased by 152.5%, while cropland decreased by 31.7%. Conversely, in in‐migration areas, the urban impervious area increased by 262.0%, while cropland increased by 30.1%. (3) Although regional NPP demonstrated an overall increasing trend, the per‐unit‐area growth rate (∂NPP) of dominant land covers—cropland and grassland—was markedly higher in out‐migration areas (83.7%, 80.8%) than in‐migration areas (18.1%, 38.2%). These results provide robust support for the targets or indicators of the SDGs and offer valuable insights for policymakers devising social‐ecological migration and land rehabilitation strategies.
在全球范围内,移民的社会学、民族学、经济学、人口学和心理学方面都得到了广泛的研究。然而,在系统定量评估其生态效益方面,特别是在计划生态移民项目方面,仍然存在重大差距。本研究探讨了生态资源规划实施与气候变化、土地利用和土地覆盖变化、净初级生产力(NPP)和土壤侵蚀动态之间的相互关系。我们提出了一个整合地统计学方法的新的时空分析框架,以探索ERP如何影响土地利用模式、土壤保持和土地生产力。以宁夏回族自治区19个县区为研究对象,利用MODIS NPP数据、基于LANDSAT的LULC分类、SE、ECMWF Reanalysis v5 (ERA5)气象资料(2001-2022)和宁夏统计年鉴(1985-2022)的人口统计数据(1985-2022),分析了ERP实施前后迁入迁出区生态质量的时空变化及其驱动因素。主要发现包括:(1)1999年至2020年,所有19个县都参与了移民计划,安置了大约974,800名移民。(2)该项目实质上重新配置了土地利用模式。在迁出地区,城市不透水面积增加了152.5%,而耕地面积减少了31.7%。相反,在移民地区,城市不透水面积增加了262.0%,而耕地增加了30.1%。(3)尽管区域NPP总体呈上升趋势,但外迁入区优势土地覆盖(耕地和草地)的单位面积增长率(∂NPP)(83.7%、80.8%)明显高于迁入区(18.1%、38.2%)。这些结果为可持续发展目标的目标或指标提供了强有力的支持,并为决策者制定社会生态移民和土地恢复战略提供了宝贵的见解。

The plateau pika ( Ochotona curzoniae ) is recognized as an ecosystem engineer on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP). Despite the critical roles that soil microbiomes play in ecosystem functioning, little is known about how the disturbance behaviors of plateau pikas alter soil microbial community. Here, we investigated the impact of plateau pika disturbance across a gradient of intensities—high (1587 ± 89 burrows·ha −1 ), medium (667 ± 42 burrows·ha −1 ), and low (41 ± 5 burrows·ha −1 )‐on soil microbial composition, community assembly processes, functional profiles, and co‐occurrence network patterns using 16S rRNA sequencing. The results revealed that pika disturbance significantly altered soil microbial composition. Specifically, the relative abundance of Proteobacteria , Rokubacteria and Entorrhizomycota showed a significant increase with disturbance intensity. Furthermore, the disturbance altered both bacterial and fungal β diversity, resulting in a clear separation between microbial communities under low and high disturbance intensities. Soil pH, carbon and nitrogen contents were significantly correlated with both bacterial and fungal community compositions. Stochastic processes, particularly dispersal limitation, predominate in microbial community assembly and become more pronounced with greater disturbance. Furthermore, higher disturbance intensity resulted in a marked reduction in secondary metabolic functions and increased the complexity of microbial co‐occurrence networks. These findings demonstrate that plateau pika activity drives the restructuring of soil microbiomes across the disturbance gradient. This study provides an ecological perspective for integrating microbial metrics into alpine grassland management and for evaluating the ecological trade‐offs in managing pika populations on the QTP.
尽管土壤微生物群落在生态系统功能中起着至关重要的作用,但高原鼠兔的干扰行为如何改变土壤微生物群落却知之甚少。本研究利用16S rRNA测序技术,研究了高原鼠兔干扰对土壤微生物组成、群落聚集过程、功能特征和共现网络模式的影响,研究了高原鼠兔干扰在高(1587±89个洞·ha−1)、中(667±42个洞·ha−1)和低(41±5个洞·ha−1)强度梯度下的影响。结果表明,鼠兔干扰显著改变了土壤微生物组成。Proteobacteria、Rokubacteria和Entorrhizomycota的相对丰度随干扰强度的增加而显著增加。此外,干扰改变了细菌和真菌的β多样性,导致低强度和高强度干扰下微生物群落明显分离。土壤pH、碳、氮含量与细菌和真菌群落组成呈显著相关。随机过程,特别是扩散限制,在微生物群落组装中占主导地位,并且随着干扰的增加而变得更加明显。此外,较高的干扰强度导致次级代谢功能显著降低,并增加了微生物共生网络的复杂性。这些发现表明高原鼠兔的活动推动了土壤微生物群在扰动梯度上的重组。本研究为将微生物指标纳入高寒草地管理和评价青藏高原鼠兔种群管理的生态权衡提供了生态学视角。

Soil degradation on abandoned or poorly managed terraces in the Mediterranean region poses a significant threat to the resilience of agroecosystems, particularly in hillside olive groves where erosion and nutrient depletion accelerate land abandonment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the short‐term effects of five different soil management practices (grass cover, organic mulch, herbicide application, pile burning and tillage) on soil physical and chemical properties, hydrological responses and nutrient and pollutant losses. A field trial with replicated microplots (five per treatment, 25 in total) on a Rendzic Leptosol was conducted on degraded terraces in southern Croatia. Natural rainfall events were monitored in 2024 (spring to autumn) to quantify runoff and sediment yield. Results showed that mulch and grass treatments significantly improved bulk density, water‐holding capacity and aggregate size while reducing runoff, sediment loss and nutrient export. In contrast, herbicide and fire treatments resulted in pronounced compaction, increased runoff and up to nine times higher losses of C, N, P, K and Cu compared to covered plots. Sediment was consistently enriched in nutrients and contaminants compared to soil, with element concentrations up to three times higher, especially under herbicide, fire and tillage. The study provides new insights into erosion‐induced chemical enrichment and degradation processes on Mediterranean terraces and emphasises the effectiveness of protective measures based on soil cover. The results highlight the disproportionate importance of exposed soils for the transport of fine, chemically enriched sediments and confirm that soil cover, particularly mulch or vegetation, provides substantial protection against both on‐site degradation and nutrient export from the site.
地中海地区被遗弃或管理不善的梯田的土壤退化对农业生态系统的恢复能力构成重大威胁,特别是在山坡橄榄园,那里的侵蚀和养分枯竭加速了土地的遗弃。本研究的目的是评估五种不同的土壤管理措施(草地覆盖、有机覆盖、除草剂施用、秸秆焚烧和耕作)对土壤理化性质、水文响应以及养分和污染物损失的短期影响。在克罗地亚南部退化的梯田上对Rendzic Leptosol进行了重复小块(每次处理5块,共25块)的田间试验。监测了2024年(春季至秋季)的自然降雨事件,以量化径流和泥沙产量。结果表明,覆盖和草地处理显著提高了土壤容重、持水能力和团聚体大小,同时减少了径流、泥沙损失和养分输出。相比之下,除草剂和火灾处理导致明显的压实,径流增加,碳、氮、磷、钾和铜的损失比覆盖地块高9倍。与土壤相比,沉积物的营养物质和污染物含量一直很丰富,元素浓度高达土壤的三倍,特别是在除草剂、火灾和耕作下。该研究为地中海阶地侵蚀引起的化学富集和退化过程提供了新的见解,并强调了基于土壤覆盖的保护措施的有效性。研究结果强调了暴露的土壤对精细的、富含化学物质的沉积物的运输的不成比例的重要性,并证实了土壤覆盖,特别是地膜或植被,提供了大量的保护,防止现场退化和营养物质从现场输出。

Forest ecosystems play a critical role in the global carbon cycle. As a significant terrestrial carbon sink, plantations exhibit carbon stock patterns that are shaped by tree species composition, stand structure, and environmental conditions. Here, we investigated typical plantation types in the Mufu Mountain, Hubei Province. Total carbon stock and its distribution across different stand types were quantified by establishing permanent monitoring plots and conducting tree surveys, applying general biomass models to estimate biomass, and employing elemental analysis to measure soil carbon content. Our results indicated that total carbon stock ranged from 37,452.54 to 184,909.38 kg/ha among six forest subplots in the Mufu Mountain. Broadleaf and coniferous stands accumulated substantially more carbon than Phyllostachys edulis (Carrière) J. Houz. forests. Higher soil temperature, illuminance, and increased shrub cover promoted carbon accumulation in trees and shrubs. In contrast, multiple environmental factors regulated carbon stock in herbaceous plants, litter, and soil organic matter, demonstrating clear carbon pool‐specific effects. Our findings clarify key environmental drivers of carbon dynamics in subtropical plantations, and based on these results, we propose concrete management strategies including the selection of high‐carbon stock tree species, maintenance of understory shrub layers, and implementation of strategic canopy thinning to enhance forest carbon sequestration.
森林生态系统在全球碳循环中发挥着关键作用。人工林作为重要的陆地碳汇,其碳储量模式受树种组成、林分结构和环境条件的影响。本文对湖北省木府山典型人工林类型进行了调查。通过建立永久性监测样地并进行树木调查,应用一般生物量模型估算生物量,采用元素分析测量土壤碳含量,量化了不同林分类型的总碳储量及其分布。结果表明:木浮山6个样地的总碳储量在37,452.54 ~ 184,909.38 kg/ha之间;阔叶林和针叶林的碳积累量明显高于毛竹林(Phyllostachys edulis)。森林。较高的土壤温度、光照和灌木覆盖增加促进了乔木和灌木的碳积累。相比之下,多种环境因素调节着草本植物、凋落物和土壤有机质的碳储量,显示出明显的碳库特异性效应。研究结果明确了亚热带人工林碳动态的关键环境驱动因素,并在此基础上提出了具体的管理策略,包括选择高碳储量树种、维持林下灌木层和实施战略性林冠间伐以增强森林碳固存。

As a significant terrestrial carbon sink, plantations exhibit carbon stock patterns that are shaped by tree species composition, stand structure, and environmental conditions. Here, we investigated typical plantation types in the Mufu Mountain, Hubei Province. Total carbon stock and its distribution across different stand types were quantified by establishing permanent monitoring plots and conducting tree surveys, applying general biomass models to estimate biomass, and employing elemental analysis to measure soil carbon content. Our results indicated that total carbon stock ranged from 37,452.54 to 184,909.38 kg/ha among six forest subplots in the Mufu Mountain. Broadleaf and coniferous stands accumulated substantially more carbon than <jats:italic>Phyllostachys edulis</jats:italic> (Carrière) J. Houz. forests. Higher soil temperature, illuminance, and increased shrub cover promoted carbon accumulation in trees and shrubs. In contrast, multiple environmental factors regulated carbon stock in herbaceous plants, litter, and soil organic matter, demonstrating clear carbon pool‐specific effects. Our findings clarify key environmental drivers of carbon dynamics in subtropical plantations, and based on these results, we propose concrete management strategies including the selection of high‐carbon stock tree species, maintenance of understory shrub layers, and implementation of strategic canopy thinning to enhance forest carbon sequestration.","PeriodicalId":203,"journal":{"name":"Land Degradation & Development","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145657263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
