Abstract Vegetation restoration processes significantly affect near‐surface characteristics, thus affecting soil detachment. Existing research has primarily focused on analysing detachment via root morphological parameters and physical chemical properties. However, few studies have the variation in with age from a mechanical parameter perspective. Natural, undisturbed samples were collected five grasslands restored for 1–22 years one bare plot (0 of restoration, employed as control). The subjected to flow scouring hydraulic flume experiments under six stream powers. relationship between rate (SDR) root–soil composites, namely cohesion shear strength ( τ 200 ), quantified reveal mechanism underlying during vegetation restoration. results indicated that SDR decreased, whereas increased increasing age. dominant factors influencing changed hydrodynamics at early stage properties composites late stage.

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is an important pool in the global cycle, playing a vital role moderating atmospheric CO2 concentrations. largest terrestrial ecosystems and, as basic unit of soil structure, aggregates are key to protecting pools. However, influence aggregate particle size, SOC distribution, and contribution different sizes still unclear, particularly under land use types. In this study, samples were collected from five types (slope farmland (SF), forest (FL), grassland (GL), shrubland (SL), terraced field (TF)) typical small watershed Loess Plateau, China. We analyzed composition, stability after dry wet sieving, content aggregates, effects on distribution SOC. The results showed that, surface (0 ∼ 20 cm) water-stable relatively stable, FL, mean weight diameter (MWD) value was 2.16 mm.

Land use and rainfall are two important factors affecting soil erosion processes. The red region of southern China is a representative with high amounts rapidly changing land patterns where the water process sensitive to changes in rainfall. To comprehensively understand response this region, 6-year situ experiment based on eight plots (bare seven typical uses) was conducted from 2015 2020. 320 events were divided into 4 types, there 3 main types. runoff different types primarily determined by amount, while intensity. High-intensity contributed most both total erosion. Compared bare land, uses reduced more than 75%. Grassland, cropland, forest low vegetation coverage experienced erosion, shrubland effectively combination type significantly affected annual average depth, modulus, loss coefficient. Rainfall can change relationship between for uses. highly correlated characteristics, weakened under short- or moderate-duration reduce high-intensity should receive special attention, all ensure that well developed, especially understory vegetation.

In the realm of global climate change and environmental protection, precise estimation forest ecosystem carbon density is essential for devising effective management emission reduction strategies. This study employed inventory, soil carbon, remote sensing data combined with three models—Random Forest (RF), Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR), innovative Random (GWRF) model—integrated technology to develop a framework assessing regional spatial distribution vegetation (FVC) (FSC). The findings revealed that GWRF model outperformed other models in estimating both FVC FSC. indicated Heilongjiang Province ranged from 4.91 t/ha 72.39 t/ha, an average 40.88 t/ha. contrast, FSC was 182.29 range 96.01 255.09 Additionally, (FEC) varied 124.36 302.18 averaging 223.17 Spatially, FVC, FSC, FEC exhibited consistent growth trend north south. results this demonstrate machine learning consider relationships can improve predictive accuracy, providing valuable insights future modeling storage.

Pasture development could be a viable option to restore degraded land in semi-arid region. New knowledge on soil functional diversity, aggregation, and temperature sensitivity (Q10) of organic carbon (SOC) after pasture would assist accomplish the scope global pastureland management for climate change mitigation restoration. To understand impact SOC stock, its Q10, research was undertaken at three sites (RS1, RS2, RS3) India with seeding Cenchrus ciliaris, Megathyrus maximus, Stylosanthes seabrana (at line-ratio 2:2:1). After years, biomass productivity SOC, enzyme activities, etc. 0–20 21–40 cm depths were estimated. improved from 0.68 mg ha−1 undeveloped site 3.62–4.64 ha−1. enhanced stock 5.85 7.31 C surface layer an annual accumulation rate 28–112 kg year−1. Greater activities extracellular enzymes observed over control. The mean weight diameter ∼23–38% higher sites. Q10 being controlled by labile significantly (13–29%) site. Hence, short-term improve stocks only, but vulnerable loss temperature. However, long-term have great potential accrue mitigate change.
