Understory shading exacerbated grassland soil erosion by changing community composition

Yi-Fan Liu et al.

Summary: The study revealed that understory shading in forest-grassland ecosystems altered the community composition and structure of understory grasslands, leading to increased soil loss. Shade-tolerant herb species play a crucial role in controlling soil erosion, highlighting the importance of species selection for vegetation restoration in such ecosystems.

Afforestation influences soil organic carbon and its fractions associated with aggregates in a karst region of Southwest China

Pujia Yu et al.

Summary: Understanding the impact of land-use change on soil organic carbon (SOC) content and distribution in karst regions is important. This study compared soil samples from four different land-use types and found that afforestation significantly increased total SOC content, particularly in macro-aggregates. Stable carbon was the predominant fraction in the study area. The conversion of farmland to orange orchards was identified as the best choice to increase SOC sequestration in karst regions.

Effects of raindrop temperature on the contributions of slaking and mechanical striking to aggregate disintegration during splash erosion

Hairu Li et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of raindrop temperature on soil aggregate disintegration and evaluated their contributions to splash erosion. It was found that the impact of raindrop temperature varied in terms of slaking and mechanical striking, and different soil types and temperatures had different contributions to splash erosion.

Variations in soil organic carbon content with chronosequence, soil depth and aggregate size under shifting cultivation

Sabina Yasmin Laskar et al.

Summary: Shifting cultivation is an important agricultural form globally, with significant impact on the cultural identity of indigenous communities. The study found significant changes in soil bulk density, aggregate stability, and soil organic carbon content with the transition from undisturbed forest to slash-and-burn cultivation and fallow phases. The research concluded that a minimum of 20 years of fallow period is required to achieve soil organic carbon content and carbon stocks comparable with intact forest land.

Profile distribution of soil organic carbon and its isotopic value following long term land-use changes

Mengyang You et al.

Summary: Soil organic carbon content and C-13 natural abundance along soil profile are sensitive to land use changes, with conversion of cropland to forest or grassland beneficial for increasing SOC storage, especially in the 0-60 cm depth. The turnover of SOC in deep soil layers has little impact during the study period.

A systematic review of soil erosion in citrus orchards worldwide

Y. H. Niu et al.

Summary: The rapid expansion and increased cultivation intensity of citrus orchards have accelerated soil erosion, hindering the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals. Various soil and water conservation measures have been tested to alleviate soil erosion, but their effectiveness varies, with the trade-off between runoff reduction and soil loss reduction favoring the latter. Decision makers should consider both ecological and economic benefits when implementing optimal management strategies for citrus orchards.

Response of soil aggregate disintegration to the different content of organic carbon and its fractions during splash erosion

Hairu Li et al.

Summary: This study found that soil organic carbon and its components have significant effects on the stability and disintegration process of soil aggregates, with the increase of SOC and LFOC enhancing the stability of soil aggregates. In simulated rainfall experiments, the reduction of macroaggregates in soil decreased gradually with the increase of SOC and LFOC contents.

The formation of large macroaggregates induces soil organic carbon sequestration in short-term cropland restoration in a typical karst area

Lumei Xiao et al.

Summary: Cropland restoration induces litter and root inputs, promotes the development of biological soil crusts (BSCs), and leads to increased soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration. The formation of large macroaggregates is controlled by the litter-moss-root interactive effect, with forage grassland (FG) potentially being a better short-term cropland restoration strategy in promoting soil carbon sequestration in deeper soil layers.
