Disaggregating Land Degradation Types for United Nations (UN) Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) Analysis Using the State of Ohio (USA) as an Example

Earth, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 5(2), P. 255 - 273

Published: June 20, 2024

The United Nations (UN) Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) evaluation stresses the need to account for different types of land degradation (LD) as part UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 15: Life on Land) and Convention Combat Desertification (UNCCD). For example, one indicators, 15.3.1 Proportion that is degraded over total area, can be differentiated between LD (e.g., urban development, agriculture, barren) when considering use cover (LULC) change analysis. This study demonstrates it important consider not only overall anthropogenic status trend time, but also type confirm LDN. study’s innovation leverages remote-sensing-based LULC analysis evaluate LDN by using state Ohio (OH) a case study. Almost 67% in OH experienced primarily due agriculture (81%). All six soil orders were subject various degrees LD: Mollisols (88%), Alfisols (70%), Histosols (58%), Entisols (55%), Inceptisols (43%), Ultisols (22%). developments linked damages from LD, with 10,116.3 km2 developed, resulting midpoint losses 1.4 × 1011 kg carbon (TSC) social cost dioxide emissions (SC-CO2) $24B (where B = billion 109, USD). Overall, 2001 2016 indicated LDN, however, during same there was percent increase developed area (577.6 km2), which represents consumptive conversion likely caused loss 8.4 109 TSC corresponding $1.4B SC-CO2. New occurred adjacent current areas, near capital city Columbus, other cities Dayton, Cleveland). Developments negated OH’s because multiple damages: C loss, associated “realized” costs (SC-CO2), sequestration potential. has very limited potential (1.2% area) nature-based solutions (NBS) compensate damages, extend beyond state’s boundaries greenhouse gas (GHG).

Spatiotemporal Analysis of Soil Quality Degradation and Emissions in the State of Iowa (USA)

Land, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 13(4), P. 547 - 547

Published: April 19, 2024

The concept of soil quality (SQ) is defined as the soil's capacity to function, which commonly assessed at field scale. Soil composed inherent (soil suitability) and dynamic health, SH) SQ, can also be analyzed using geospatial tools a SQ continuum (SQC). This study proposes an innovative spatiotemporal analysis degradation emissions from land developments state Iowa (IA) in United States America (USA) case study. was linked anthropogenic (SD) (LD) state. More than 88% IA experienced LD primarily due agriculture (93%). All six orders were subject various degrees LD: Entisols (75%), Inceptisols (94%), Histosols (59%), Alfisols (79%), Mollisols (93%), Vertisols (98%). have increased between 2001 2016. In addition agricultural LD, there SD/LD caused by increase often through urbanization. damages with 8385.9 km2 developed area, causing midpoint total carbon (TSC) losses 1.7 × 1011 kg C associated social cost dioxide (SC-CO2) $28.8B (where B = billion 109, USD). recently area (398.5 km2) 2016 likely loss 8.0 109 corresponding $1.3B SC-CO2. New are located near urban areas, for example, capital city Des Moines, other cities (Sioux City, Dubuque). Results this reveal several different kinds damage developments: potential future sequestration soils, loss, “realized” costs (SC-CO2). has very limited (2.0% area) nature-based solutions (NBS) compensate SD LD. results used support pending health-related legislation monitoring towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Nations (UN) providing landscape-level perspective on focus field-level initiatives reduce improve SQ. Future technological innovations will provide higher spatial temporal remote sensing data that fused direct track SH changes.

Accounting for Climate and Inherent Soil Quality in United Nations (UN) Land Degradation Analysis: A Case Study of the State of Arizona (USA)

Climate, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 12(12), P. 194 - 194

Published: Nov. 21, 2024

Climate change and land degradation (LD) are some of the most critical challenges for humanity. Land is focus United Nations (UN) Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 15: Life on Land). composed inherent anthropogenic LD, which both impacted by soil quality (SQ) climate. Conventional LD analysis does not take into account SQ because it result use/land cover (LULC), can be tracked using remote sensing platforms. Furthermore, traditional link climate through greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study uses one indicators SDG 15 (15.3.1: Proportion that degraded over total area) demonstrate how in with corresponding GHG emissions time state Arizona (AZ) as a case study. The AZ skewed towards low soils (Entisols: 29.3%, Aridisols: 49.4%), which, when combined climate, define status. Currently, 8.6% has experienced primarily developments (urbanization) (42.8%) agriculture (32.2%). All six orders have varying degrees LD. linked damages from 4862.6 km2 developed, resulting midpoint losses 8.7 × 1010 kg carbon (TSC) social cost dioxide (SC-CO2) $14.7B (where B = billion 109, USD). was neutral (LDN) based an increase (+9.6%) overall (+29.5%) between 2001 2021. Considering ongoing impacts AZ, this urbanization represents reverse adaptation (RCCA) increased population. 82.0% area nature-based solutions (NBS). However, dominated inherently (e.g., Entisols, Aridisols, etc.), complicates efforts adaptation.
