Defining clear goals for ecosystem restoration, and developing effective tools to assess and
monitor progress, are critical to achieve restoration success. Soil quality indicators can be …

Dryland areas are being seriously affected by degradation processes. The use of organic
amendments in ecosystem restoration is an effective technique for accelerating soil …

Climate change impacts are a serious threat to food provisioning, security and the economy.
Thus, assessing agricultural suitability and yield reduction under climate change is crucial …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays a key role in the sequestration of carbon that could
otherwise be warming the atmosphere. Climate change including increased temperature …

Land use land cover change (LULCC) is a global environmental trend that plays a key role
in worldwide environmental change and sustainable development. Substantial disturbance …

Precipitation is one of the most important factors affecting the variations in soil carbon (C)
and nitrogen (N) following revegetation. However, the effects of revegetation and …

Soil nitrogen (N) dynamics have considerable effects on the terrestrial carbon cycle, and
land use changes could affect soil N through impacts on soil aggregate stability. This study …

Land use change can greatly affect the carbon balance for both terrestrial ecosystems and
anthropogenic carbon emissions. However,“physical-social” integrated carbon balance …

Soil quality is mainly studied from the chemical and physical point of view, whereas soil
biochemical and microbiological parameters are relatively more scarcely explored to assess …

Understanding the response of soil organic carbon (SOC) and moisture to different land-use
types, slope positions, seasonal variations, and their interactions has great significance for …
