Relationships between lithology, topography, soil, and vegetation, and their implications for karst vegetation restoration

Feixia Zhong et al.

Summary: Excessive human disturbance in karst areas has led to serious soil and vegetation degradation. This study aimed to reveal the relationships between lithology, topography, soil, and vegetation characteristics in karst landscapes through multivariate statistical techniques. The results showed that vegetation types and lithologies have significant influences on various vegetation and soil characteristics, suggesting the importance of considering differences in lithologies for ecosystem restoration in karst landscapes.

Vegetation changes in the understory of nitrogen-sensitive temperate forests over the past 70 years

Marina Roth et al.

Summary: The study found that changes in vegetation composition in temperate forest understories are reflective of environmental changes caused by atmospheric nitrogen deposition and altered forest management, leading to a trend of eutrophication. Different forest types show varying sensitivity to these environmental changes, influenced by geological and climatic site characteristics as well as historical land use.

Effects of vegetation restoration on soil carbon dynamics in Karst and non-karst regions in Southwest China: a synthesis of multi-source data

Xiao-Cong Zhu et al.

Summary: The study found significant differences in soil carbon sequestration between karst and non-karst regions in southwest China, with faster and longer sequestration observed in karst regions. The primary factor inhibiting soil carbon sequestration was identified as temperature, rather than precipitation. Additionally, phosphorus was found to be the dominant factor limiting nitrogen use by vegetation in karst regions, ultimately affecting carbon sequestration.

The karst NDVI correlation with climate and its BAS-BP prediction based on multiple factors

Yuju Ma et al.

Summary: The study found that the seasonal NDVI of KV is mainly influenced by temperature, while the autumn NDVI is mainly affected by precipitation. The correlation between the interannual variation in NDVI and precipitation was higher than the correlation with temperature. The model's performance in predicting NDVI was better at spatial resolution of 1 km compared to 250 m and 8 km.

Quantifying the lagged effects of climate factors on vegetation growth in 32 major cities of China

Wenxi Tang et al.

Summary: The study shows that humidity has the longest and strongest time-lag effect on vegetation growth, while evapotranspiration has the shortest and weakest time-lag effect. The time-lag effects of precipitation and sunshine duration on vegetation growth are stronger in the south than in the north.

Spatiotemporal variation and influencing factors of vegetation dynamics based on Geodetector: A case study of the northwestern Yunnan Plateau, China

Hong Huo et al.

Summary: The study investigated the spatiotemporal variation in vegetation cover on the northwestern Yunnan Plateau from 2005 to 2015, revealing a negative overall trend primarily driven by natural factors such as soil type, elevation, geomorphic type, and vegetation type. Human factors played a weaker role in vegetation change, with the interaction of pairwise factors being more important than individual factors in affecting vegetation dynamics.

Eco-engineering controls vegetation trends in southwest China karst

Xuemei Zhang et al.

Summary: Studies have shown a greening trend in the karst area of Yunnan-Guangxi-Guizhou region since 2000, with eco-engineering playing a significant role in explaining this trend. Different vegetation trends in various areas are influenced by a combination of factors, emphasizing the importance of understanding these patterns in planning ecological restoration efforts, which can be applied to other restoration areas.

Social-Ecological Archetypes of Land Degradation in the Nigerian Guinea Savannah: Insights for Sustainable Land Management

Ademola A. Adenle et al.

Summary: The study examines the ecological and social characteristics of degraded lands in the Nigerian Guinea Savannah, providing insights for sustainable land management and governance. Using the self-organizing map method and spatial datasets, nine archetypes of drivers of land degradation were identified, with key features including population density, information/knowledge access, poverty level, and geographic location. Through various policies and practices, raising awareness about land degradation and promoting sustainable land management and restoration practices can help progress towards land-degradation neutrality in the region.

Relative contributions of natural and man-made factors to vegetation cover change of environmentally sensitive and vulnerable areas of China

Yang Li et al.

Summary: The study investigates the impacts of climate change, human activities, and natural/anthropogenic factors on vegetation variations, and defines the annual precipitation fluctuation zone in China for the first time; findings show that vegetation activity is influenced by factors such as precipitation and temperature, with climate change playing a significant role in vegetation variations.

Contribution of karst ecological restoration engineering to vegetation greening in southwest China during recent decade

Yina Qiao et al.

Summary: A general greening trend in vegetation was observed in southwest China from 2000 to 2016, with a higher proportion of greening in karst regions. 65% of the greening trend was associated with human-induced factors, and 35% was a result of climate change.

Ecological restoration guided by historical reference conditions can increase resilience to climate change of southwestern US Ponderosa pine forests

Michael T. Stoddard et al.

Summary: The study in northern Arizona shows that forest restoration treatments, such as tree thinning and prescribed fire, increase ecological resilience over a 20-year period by improving forest resistance to climatic stressors and reducing crown fire potential. The treated areas displayed lower tree mortality, greater tree growth, and maintained forest structure closer to historical conditions compared to untreated controls. Management of fire regimes, including longer intervals between prescribed burns, is recommended to maintain forest resilience in the face of future climate change.
