Effect of land degradation on argan agro-ecosystem in Morocco: implications for conservation and rural development

Effect of land use change on soil erosion by water in the Niyang River Basin of Tibet during 1990–2020

In alpine gorge regions, human activities are concentrated on limited river terraces, yet whether the resulting land use changes exacerbate soil erosion at the basin scale remains unclear. This study aimed to quantify the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use and soil erosion by water in the Niyang River Basin, a repre...
