Soil change after planting longleaf pine on agricultural lands: Revisiting a chronosequence study after 23 years
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Soil Science Society of America Journal"
DOI: 10.1002/saj2.70062
Abstract: Efforts to restore longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) have led to millions of hectares of longleaf pine being established across the southern United States. On lands planted to longleaf pine that were formerly subjected to… read more here.

Dynamics of Utah's agricultural landscapes in response to urbanization: A comparison between irrigated and non-irrigated agricultural lands
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Applied Geography"
DOI: 10.1016/j.apgeog.2019.02.006
Abstract: Abstract In the literature on how urbanization affects agricultural landscapes, little attention has been focused on differentiating and comparing the changes in irrigated agricultural landscapes to non-irrigated agricultural landscapes. Additionally, there have been few applications… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-52421-3
Abstract: Pesticides may have serious negative impacts on bee populations. The pesticide exposure of bees could depend on the surrounding landscapes in which they forage. In this study, we assess pesticide exposure across various land-use categories,… read more here.

Natural forest colonisation as a management strategy to restore soil functioning of abandoned agricultural lands
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Journal of Applied Ecology"
DOI: 10.1111/1365-2664.14780
Abstract: Land abandonment promotes forest expansion into abandoned agricultural lands in Europe. This process leads to changes that affect several ecosystem services, but it is considered a low‐cost strategy to restore soil functions in past agricultural… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.15121
Abstract: While improved management of agricultural landscapes is promoted as a promising natural climate solution, available estimates of the mitigation potential are based on coarse assessments of both agricultural extent and aboveground carbon density. Here we… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/atmos16101122
Abstract: Urban clusters face escalating atmospheric challenges, with elevated PM2.5 concentrations representing a critical environmental constraint. This study investigates spatiotemporal evolution mechanisms of PM2.5 within China’s Taiyuan-Yuci-Xinzhou (TYX) urban cluster. Daily PM2.5 concentrations (July–September 2000–2020) characterized… read more here.
