Addition of Fine Sand in the Low‐Permeability Dryland Saline‐Sodic Soil Increases the Permeability and Soil Moisture Conservation
Soil salinization poses a significant challenge to farmland tillage and production worldwide, especially in the dryland saline‐sodic soils area characterized by clayey texture, low permeability, and high compaction. How to solve soil water infiltration of the low‐permeability saline‐sodic soils is an important practical problem that has been restricting its agricultural production availability. In this study, fine sand with particle sizes of 0.15…
Tilting‐Tracking Photovoltaic Systems Mitigate Soil Degradation Risks While Maintain Native Vegetation Productivity Across All Reshaped Micro‐Zones in a Desert Steppe
Unlike fixed photovoltaic systems, which can only form one ground rainwater accumulation micro‐zone, the tilting‐tracking photovoltaic systems (TT‐PVS) can create two rainwater accumulation micro‐zones (west and east edges). However, the impacts of TT‐PVS on ecological restoration in arid areas remain poorly understood. This study assessed TT‐PVS impacts on soil quality and plant growth in a desert steppe. Soil quality indices (SQIs) were quantif…
Fresh Straw Clippings as Organic Soil Amendments Quickly Recovered Soil Quality of Farmland by Improving Soil Structure and Soil Hydraulic Properties
Intensive agriculture threatens soil quality globally, especially in semiarid regions. Organic matter inputs are recognized as effective strategies in improving soil quality quickly; however, it is unclear whether the fresh plant organic matter inputs more effectively improve soil quality compared with the traditional dried plant inputs. Here, a 2‐year field study was conducted to quantitatively evaluate the effects of fresh and dried maize straw…
Artificial Grassland Revegetation Improves Soil Water Retention and Storage Capacity of the Degraded Hillside Alpine Meadow
The crucial role of soil water retention and storage in soil hydrology and the water cycle is well established. However, in sensitive and degraded ecosystems like alpine meadows, the effectiveness of revegetation in enhancing these critical functions remains understudied. This study investigates the effects of revegetating severely degraded hillside meadows with artificial grasslands on soil water retention and storage capacity in the Qinghai‐Tib…
Incorporating Cattle Manure Improves Hydraulic Properties and Enhances Infiltration Rates of Low‐Infiltrability Saline‐Sodic Soils
Drylands present a significant challenge to global agricultural production, especially in dryland saline‐sodic soils, which are marked by poor structure and low infiltrability. Enhancing the infiltration capacity of these soils is crucial for enhancing soil health and optimizing land‐use efficiency. However, few studies have been conducted to improve soil physical structure and enhance water infiltration and storage capacity in saline‐sodic soils…
Artificial Reseeding Promotes Biodiversity Restoration in Alpine Sandy Meadow of the Eastern Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau
Alpine grasslands have undergone severe desertification due to climate warming and overgrazing. Artificial reseeding has been widely employed for the restoration of these alpine sandy grasslands. However, its effectiveness in enhancing biodiversity remains unclear, particularly regarding the consistency of responses between aboveground plant diversity and belowground microbial diversity. To investigate the impacts of artificial reseeding on plant…
Divergent responses of above‐ and belowground ecosystem functioning to shrub encroachment in the Tibetan semi‐arid alpine steppes
Semi‐arid alpine ecosystems on the Tibetan Plateau are experiencing rapid climate change and extensive anthropogenic activity, concomitant with the encroachment of shrubs. Shrub encroachment will lead to changes in both the ecosystem structure and functioning of the semi‐arid alpine steppes. Yet, the encroaching impacts of shrubs on the above‐ and belowground ecosystem functioning of the semi‐arid alpine steppes remain uncertain. To quantify shru…
Artificial reseeding improves multiple ecosystem functions in an alpine sandy meadow of the eastern Tibetan Plateau
Desertification in alpine grasslands is exacerbated by rapid climate change and intensive anthropogenic activity, which will substantially threaten the structure and function of alpine grassland ecosystems. Artificial reseeding was a widely used strategy for the restoration of alpine sandy grasslands. However, it is still unclear whether reseeding restoration can improve multiple ecosystem functions of sandy meadows. To narrow these knowledge gap…
Shrub encroachment impaired the structure and functioning of alpine meadow communities on the Qinghai – Tibetan Plateau
Shrub encroachment has been rapidly occurring due to climate change, with profound ecological consequences for the alpine meadows of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau. Here, we conducted field surveys along a shrub coverage gradient to examine the effects of shrub encroachment on the structure and functioning of alpine meadows' plant communities. Our results showed that the overall coverage, density, aboveground biomass, species richness, and diversity…
Thinning effects on forest production and rainfall redistribution: Reduced soil water deficit and improved sustainability of semiarid plantation forestlands
Large‐scale planted afforestation worldwide has exacerbated soil desiccation and led to a serious shortage of water resources for forests sustainability in semiarid areas. Consequently, thinning is discussed as an important management approach to conserve water resources and to maintain plantation forestland sustainability. Here, we explored the effects of thinning intensity on semiarid forest production and soil water supply. Three artificial fo…
Plant litter crust role in nutrients cycling potentials by bacterial communities in a sandy land ecosystem
Plant litter is most important in mediating soil functioning during ecosystem recovery. In sandy ecosystems, the formation of a plant litter crust plays a crucial role in the process of restoration. This research explored the influence of the plant litter crust on sandy soil properties and the bacterial community, and the effect of the bacterial taxa on soil functions through driving sandy soil nutrients cycling and multienzyme activities. Our st…
Carbon accumulation by Pinus sylvestris forest plantations after different periods of afforestation in a semiarid sandy ecosystem
The carbon pool is changing in afforestation ecosystems, which vary in their duration since establishment, in many semiarid sand regions. Understanding this is important for the management of the planted forest. The present study explored the dynamics of afforested forest carbon pool in a semiarid sandy ecosystem, northwest China. We studied afforested forests of pine ( Pinus sylvestris ) of five afforestation ages (20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 years s…
Five‐year soil moisture response of typical cultivated grasslands in a semiarid area: Implications for vegetation restoration
Soil water deficit is one of the important abiotic stresses affecting vegetation restoration. The magnitude and spatiotemporal dynamics of soil water content (SWC) provide basic guidance for optimal vegetation restoration. In a semiarid Chinese area, the changes in the soil water storage (SWS) of five cultivated grasslands and one wasteland were observed, to evaluate the water consumption at different soil depths (0–100 cm), from 2008 to 2012. Th…
Progress in landsenses ecology research and applications: An introduction
This special issue is the first systematic introduction to the progress of landsenses ecology and its applications since its formation in 2016. As a people-oriented, science-technology-based emerging discipline, landsenses ecology connects our physical senses with digital sensors, and balances the local and global considerations of ecosystem services and sustainable development. The progress in landsenses ecology research and applications covered…
