The measurement of sustainability in terms of social, economic, and ecological indicators significantly influences the achievement of sustainable development goals.
Poor soil fertility and land degradation limit crop production among smallholder farmers. The practice of agroforestry with leguminous trees has proven to be sustainable as it bolsters nutrient supply through nitrogen fixation and nutrient cycling.
Agroforestry systems have been promoted as a solution to address trade-offs between environmental conservation efforts and the need for increased agricultural productivity on smallholder farms in Brazil.
Land degradation affects a significant portion of the Earth’s ice-free land area and several countries have embraced the challenge of restoring large parts of their degraded lands.
Climate change has strong impacts on soil conservation and agricultural productivity, with severe consequences on smallholders in developing countries, but virtually no research has been carried out so far on this issue.
Understanding the interactions of the social and biophysical drivers of land degradation is crucial for developing adaptive management actions for future sustainability.
Mapping and quantifying land degradation status is important for identifying vulnerable areas and to design sustainable landscape management.
Wind erosion desertification is the most serious type of land degradation in Northwest China, so it is an important task for ecological management in the region. As the core of ecological management, soil quality is mainly affected by the presence of silt–clay content.
