A novel index for ecological drought monitoring based on ecological water deficit

Tianliang Jiang et al.

Summary: A new ecological drought index, the SEWDI, was constructed in this study, and it showed the best performance in monitoring ecological drought compared to other indices at different time scales. The NWRC was decomposed into five ecological drought regions, including SE, SW, NW, NE, and CT, using the REOF method. The monitoring results indicated that serious ecological droughts mainly occurred in SE, SW, CT, SW, NE, and NW, NE, and CT regions during 1982-2010.

Effects of land use and land cover on soil erosion control in southern China: Implications from a systematic quantitative review

Jia Chen et al.

Summary: The study found that bare land has the greatest impact on soil erosion, while cropland and grassland have the smallest impact. When vegetation coverage exceeds 60%, soil erosion tends to stabilize. Land use with multiple vegetation layers or contact cover can reduce runoff and sediment values.

Considering landscape-level processes in ecosystem service assessments

Jean Paul Metzger et al.

Summary: The provision of ecosystem services is spatially influenced by landscape structure, but landscape-level processes are often not comprehensively considered in assessments, with a focus on supply rather than demand and flows. It is necessary to better incorporate landscape processes in order to achieve more accurate and spatially precise estimates in ecosystem service assessments.
