Global climate change and overgrazing are driving shifts in the plant composition of grassland communities, which may profoundly affect function ecosystems regulating runoff soil erosion. Here, we examined shift effects normal hillslope alpine meadow to shrub severely degraded states on sediment generation under natural rainfall conditions, determined contributions properties changes erodibility, by situ experiment monitoring Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. The results showed that into state, mean weight diameter, saturated hydraulic conductivity, cohesion erodibility K-factor at topsoil decreased 70.3%, 73.1%, 80.3% −13.1%, respectively, when meadows they reduced 49.1%, −1.3%, 49.4%, −8.3%, respectively. Runoff loss significantly changed - 40.0% 177.8% shifted a while + 65.0% +77.8% state. Our findings highlight two divergent both increased compared meadows. Overall, our indicate exacerbated These obtained here offer novel perspective regulation erosion ecosystem.

Land use and land cover change (LULCC), along with the conversion of natural ecosystem into farmland, poses significant ecological challenges for desert riparian ecosystems. The Tarim River Basin (TRB), home to world’s largest most densely distributed well-preserved ecosystem, remains exceptionally susceptible climate change. However, our understanding role climatic factors (mean annual temperature (MAT); mean during warmest month (MWMT); relative humidity in September, October, November (RH_SON); heat–moisture index (AHM)) driving pattern changes these ecosystems limited. To address this gap, we employed a transfer matrix approach coupled geographically weighted regression models conduct an extensive analysis LULCC trends their within TRB from 1990 2020. 30-year dataset on provided invaluable insights, revealing that proliferation farmland shrubberies has precipitated decline arbor forests grassland expanses. Furthermore, expansion resulted heightened fragmentation, particularly notable between 2005 2010. Our assessment indicates artificial are gradually transitioning back states, encompassing 8.24% total area, chiefly attributed expanding shrubbery regions. Additionally, in-depth scrutiny impacts structure unveiled moisture exerts pronounced influence patterns, followed by air content growing season, while relatively lesser impact. Overall, study contributes realization SDG 13 (Climate Action) 15 (Life Land) informing conservation efforts sustainable management practices dryland
