Abstract South China Karst faces the challenge of balancing ecological conservation and regional development, a task made more intricate by geological limitations carbonate formations. Large‐scale restoration initiatives have mitigated rocky desertification positioned as global hotspot for vegetation regrowth over past two decades. However, challenges stemming from constraints oversights in recognizing synergies within social‐ecological systems remain. Here, we propose framework that...

Abstract Understanding the forest evolution is vital to answering reforestation potential in karst areas. Here, we present first‐ever pollen record depression sediment, combined with comprehensive dating methods ( 137 Cs, 210 Pb ex , and 14 C) historical documents, reveal plant change history southwest Guangxi, a severe rocky‐desertification region. We inferred three stages of “virgin forest–deforestation–sparse tree planting” over past centuries. Before 1780s, barren mountains used be lush...

Karst regions of Southwest China become a hotspot for global greening through large-scale vegetation restoration in recent two decades.However, the unique, fragile geological setting carbonate rocks affects sustainability greening.Here, we summarize and evaluate impacts rock soil compositions karst landscapes on types quality restoration.We introduce concept "soil mass" establish its relationship with aboveground biomass across varying degrees rocky desertification.The mineral nutrients mass...

To approach the relationship between geologic factors and landslides, Zhaotong region, an area of 22,434 sq km, with more than 279 landslides is used as example. A map shows geology distribution report applies a quantitative method, Grey system theory, to identify that rock type has effect on any other factor. Fault density earthquake intensity have some but less type.

Abstract The Daliangshan region (DLS) is characterized by significant vertical differentiation in human activity and land use owing to the high elevation gradient, which may affect soil erosion pattern direction. However, spatial variability of rates along a hillslope at catchment scale remains poorly understood. In this study, we used cesium‐137 tracer technique estimate under different uses zones from small agricultural catchment, Luowugou DLS. Ten plots comprising four typical (valley,...
