Engaging Sustainable Reforestation and Forest Protection in the Wallacea Line, Indonesia

F1000Research, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14, P. 165 - 165

Published: Feb. 5, 2025

The Wallacea region of Indonesia has high biodiversity and highly unique endangered species. Its terrestrial ecosystems have flora fauna found nowhere else. Nevertheless, the strategy for protecting conserving ecosystem is like that in other parts Indonesia, since it refers to national forest environmental regulations. The uniqueness does not reflect extraordinary efforts region’s pristine ecosystem. continuing decline forestland expansions agricultural lands indicated need a more fundamental integrative approach ecosystem, particularly forestlands. We use actor-centered power (ACP) or ideas Line highlight how this idea contested confronted with dynamics complex societies ecosystems.

Spatial Distribution Changes and Factor Analysis of Topsoil Organic Carbon Across Different Forest Types on Hainan Island

Forests, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 16(3), P. 550 - 550

Published: March 20, 2025

Topsoil organic carbon (SOC, 0–20 cm) is crucial for terrestrial stocks and the global cycle. This study integrated field survey data, re-analysis climatic remote sensing-derived environmental factors to examine SOC distribution its drivers across forest types on Hainan Island using machine learning models statistical analysis. The results showed that univariate analysis had limited explanatory power SOC, with plantations exhibiting significantly lower than mangroves natural forests. For mangroves, vapor pressure deficit (VPD) was most influential factor, followed by precipitation (PRE), normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), age; meanwhile, forests, VPD, altitude, PRE, NDVI were vital drivers. optimal demonstrated relatively stronger predictive performance (R2 = 0.71 mangroves; R2 0.81 forests). Mangroves higher average (27.91 g/kg) forests (15.82 g/kg), while concentrations in central–western region attributed reveals spatial variation patterns of regulation mechanisms Island, providing important references stock management protection.

Pig manure addition promotes organic carbon sequestration dominantly contributed by mineral protection in upland red soil

Land Degradation and Development, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 35(16), P. 4948 - 4960

Abstract Organic fertilizers are essential for enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC) levels and promoting sustainable agriculture. The mechanisms of sequestration in upland red soils using various materials not well understood. Here, the impact fertilization strategies on SOC fractions, functional groups, iron oxides, aggregates was investigated to clarify protective underlying preservation. Six regimes were examined: no (CK), mineral fertilizer (CF), 60% (RF), RF + straw (RFS), pig manure (RFP), vermicompost (RFV). results demonstrated that contents significantly increased by 62.5% RFP 63.1% RFV compared CF treatment, with particulate (POC) being primary contributor. Scanning electron microscopy X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy treatments induced formation denser flock‐like aromatic C content, respectively. Fourier transform infrared analysis indicated treatment exhibited highest abundance groups among all treatments. POC highly positively correlated chemical properties, aggregates, poorly crystalline rings. Structural equation models directly promoted accumulation, while provided physical protection aggregate formation. Furthermore, indirectly facilitated development mineral‐associated via biochemical properties Overall, application enhanced protection, immobilization, recalcitrance (alkyl C, C) carbon, facilitating stability. This study highlights importance management increasing storage maintaining global balance.

Changes in Soil Aggregate Carbon Components and Responses to Plant Input during Vegetation Restoration in the Loess Plateau, China

Plants, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 13(17), P. 2455 - 2455

Published: Sept. 2, 2024

Vegetation restoration is an effective measure to cope with global climate change and promote soil carbon sequestration. However, during vegetation restoration, the turnover properties of within various aggregates change. The effects plant source input on surface subsurface may be different. Thus, characteristics components in are affected. Therefore, research object this study
