The rehabilitation of sandy desertified land in various dryland ecosystems by different management practices has a great potential to increase aggregate stability and improve soil quality. However, plants in general may have a different ability to sustain soil. The objective was to determine the effects of reclamation practices including Haloxylon ammodendron and Atriplex canescens plantation o...

Exploring the landscape ecological security pattern and its driving mechanisms in key economic zones is of great significance for preventing resolving risks promoting regional sustainable development. This study quantitatively analyzed land use change characteristics Huaihe River Eco-economic Belt from 1980 to 2020 using transfer matrix intensity index. Further, evolution their were investigate...

the dragon's head(lallemantia iberica f. & c. m.) can be introduced as a new oilseed crop to cold rainfed areas because of its unique characteristics. the field trial was carried in a split-plot factorial in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications in dryland agricultural research institute (dari) in 2010-11. the treatments included three landraces of dragon’s head...

Multi-sensor data from different satellites are used to identify an upwelling area in the sea off northeast Taiwan. Sea surface temperature (SST) data derived from infrared and microwave, as well as sea surface height anomaly (SSHA) data derived from satellite altimeters are used for this study. An integration filtering algorithm based on SST data is developed for detecting the cold patch induc...

Habitat quality is the key to regional ecological restoration and green development, land use change an essential factor affecting habitat quality. Studying spatial temporal evolution characteristics of under multiple scenarios significant for management, preventing future environmental risks. We used improved Logistic-CA-Markov (Logistic-Cellular Automata-Markov) InVEST (Integrated Valuation E...

a r t i c l e i n f o Land degradation in drylands is one of the major environmental issues of the 21st century particularly due to its impact on world food security and environmental quality. Climate change, shifts in vegetation composition, accelerated soil erosion processes, and disturbances have rendered these landscapes susceptible to rapid degradation that has important feedbacks on regio...
