Land degradation is one of the significant issues the human beings are confronted with, which has become a bottleneck of restricting the sustainable development of the regional society and economy. In order to ascertain the root causes contributed to the land degradation and characteristics of land degradation, Bijiang watershed, the most important Lead-Zinc mine area of Lanping county of Yunna...

land-use change has strong effects on ecosystem properties, especially on soil carbon storage and it increased global atmospheric co2. degradation and loss of area and quality of hyrcanian forests are the biggest problems in these forests. one of the most important solutions to taking care of these problems is increasing plantations in these areas. therefore, investigation of the effects of dif...

The glycoprotein known as glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP) is abundantly produced on the hyphae and spores of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in soil and roots. Few studies have focused on its amount, composition and associations with soil properties and possible land-use influences, although the data hints at soil rehabilitation. By choosing a primary forest soil as a non-degraded refer...

the use of metal-accumulating plants to clean the contaminated soil with toxic metals is the most rapidly developing component of phytoremediation as an environmentally friendly technology. overcoming harsh soil conditions and accelerating the recovery of degraded soils remain a worldwide restoration challenge. this study evaluated the effect of different concentrations of pb, zn, cu and fe on ...

in recent years, rangelands have been regarded as potential carbon sinks. one of the most widely suggested options to sequester more c in rangelands is the restoration of the degraded rangelands through grazing the exclusion. in present study, the effects of exclusion on the carbon sequestration of gomishan rangelands were investigated. three transects were established in a key area inside and ...
