To promote food security and sustainability, ecologically intensive farming systems should
reliably produce adequate yields of high-quality food, enhance the environment, be …

Abstract Development and protection are both vital human demands in ecologically
vulnerable areas. An estimation of the land use/cover changes and their ecological …

Since fire is still necessary for rotational shifting cultivation (RSC), the vertical distribution
and slope effect on soil properties and soil surface loss after a fire remain unclear. To …

Vegetation recovery is a promising strategy to mitigate soil loss risk across different
landscapes and human disturbance levels. Uncertainties still exist in the impacts of forest …

Understanding soil organic carbon (SOC) distribution and influencing factors are important
to accurately assess soil carbon sink potential and ecosystem quality. However, variations …

Abstract Soil carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) are the main soil nutrients
required for plant development and their stoichiometric ratios are important indicators of …

To obtain accurate spatial distribution maps of soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen
(TN) in the Hetian Town in Fujian Province, China, soil samples from three depths (0–20, 20 …

Natural resource monitoring and assessment is a vital step to formulate a sustainable
development plan. The introduction of various modern geospatial techniques and tools like …

In regions with a relatively complex topography, the soil organic carbon (SOC) is
characterized by a high spatial heterogeneity, which is likely to contribute to large …

Climatic, topographical and soil conditions are the main drivers of soil potassium (K)
variations in terrestrial ecosystem. Although theoretical and empirical studies have explored …
