“…Thus, our framework for combining erosion monitoring and CADRs would allow land managers to have a better understanding of the quantitative target rate of erosion that can maintain good ecological status and halt or potentially reverse land degradation [127]. This research illustrates that a quantitative target of a natural background rate of erosion would be particularly useful when planning and managing different land uses such as vineyards [21,26,122,125,128], specific locations impacted by wildfire [33][34][35], and construction sites [22,24,33].…”

“…Knowing just how much grazing, wildfire, and urbanization can increase soil erosion above natural rates has implications for the sustainable management of arid-region soils. The accelerated soil erosion by human activities is a major concern for land management with respect to soil degradation (e.g., [11,12,15,19,22,36,[121][122][123][124][125]). Through their extensive review of tolerable soil erosion rates for human society, Verheijen et al [126] concluded that soil functions can generally be maintained as long as soil erosion does not exceed natural erosion rates.…”

Land use changes often lead to soil erosion, land degradation, and environmental deterioration. However, little is known about just how much humans accelerate erosion compared to natural background rates in non-agricultural settings, despite its importance to knowing the magnitude of soil degradation. The lack of understanding of anthropogenic acceleration is especially true for arid regions. Thus, we used 10Be catchment averaged denudation rates (CADRs) to obtain natural rates of soil erosion in and around the Phoenix metropolitan region, Arizona, United States. We then measured the acceleration of soil erosion by grazing, wildfire, and urban construction by comparing CADRs to erosion rates for the same watersheds, finding that: (i) grazing sometimes can increase sediment yields by up to 2.3–2.6x, (ii) human-set wildfires increased sediment yields by up to 9.7–10.4x, (iii) after some post-fire vegetation recovered, sediment yield was then up to 4.2–4.5x the background yield, (iv) construction increased sediment yields by up to 5.0–5.6x, and (v) the sealing of urban surfaces led to one-tenth to one-half of the background sediment yields. The acceleration of erosion at the urban–rural interface in arid lands highlights the need for sustainable management of arid-region soils.

“…In recent years, the quality and ecology of cultivated land have attracted attention from the government. Agricultural land degradation is often affected by the loss of soil fertility and biodiversity, which is commonly caused by unsustainable agricultural land management practices, such as longterm monoculture cropping (Chen S. et al, 2018;Chen et al, 2020;Yu and Jesús, 2021). In China, because of the limited area of cultivated land, the same crop is often continually grown in the same field without interruption, which typically leads to the continuous cropping (CC) obstacle.…”

In recent years, the problems associated with continuous cropping (CC) that cause soil degradation have become increasingly serious. As a key soil quality property, dissolved organic matter (DOM) affects the circulation of carbon and nutrients and the composition of bacterial communities in soil. However, research on the changes in the molecular composition of DOM after CC is limited. In this study, the soil chemical properties, DOM chemical diversity, bacterial community structure, and their interactions are explored in the soil samples from different CC years (CC1Y, CC3Y, CC5Y, and CC7Y) of tobacco. With increasing CC year of tobacco, most of the soil chemical properties, such as total carbon, total nitrogen and organic matter, decreased significantly, while dissolved organic carbon first decreased and then increased. Likewise, the trends of DOM composition differed with changing duration of CC, such as the tannin compounds decreased from 18.13 to 13.95%, aliphatic/proteins increased from 2.73 to 8.85%. After 7 years of CC, the soil preferentially produced compounds with either high H/C ratios (H/C > 1.5), including carbohydrates, lipids, and aliphatic/proteins, or low O/C ratios (O/C < 0.1), such as unsaturated hydrocarbons. Furthermore, core microorganisms, including Nocardioides, wb1-P19, Aquabacterium, Methylobacter, and Thiobacillus, were identified. Network analysis further indicated that in response to CC, Methylobacter and Thiobacillus were correlated with the microbial degradation and transformation of DOM. These findings will improve our understanding of the interactions between microbial community and DOM in continuous cropping soil.

“…To mitigate the negative impacts of the erosion process, especially, in vineyards, it is necessary to estimate the risk of erosion and to identify the vulnerable areas for adequate territorial planning (Rodrigo‐Comino, 2018). However, numerous viticultural areas over the world remain unstudied, for example in China (Yu & Rodrigo‐Comino, 2021).…”

Winemaking in Chile is a long tradition that is recognized around the world. It is especially important in the Maule region where more than 40% of the total wine in the country is produced. However, there is a lack of studies related to soil erosion in vineyards in Chile, especially considering the extreme rainfall events that occur in the country. This research estimates soil erosion mobilization rates before and after a rainy season between April 2020 and May 2020 using the "improved stock unearthing method" on two inter-row plots in a vineyard located in the Maule region of Chile. This method relies on the graft union as a bioindicator for assessing soil surface-level changes. Maps of the soil surface were obtained to show how soil depletion and accumulation points within the inter-row areas could be detected. It has been estimated that a total soil mobilization of 85.7 and 130 Mg ha yr À1 had occurred in the inter-row areas 1 and 2, respectively, since the establishment of the plantation. However, a single rain event mobilized soil at rates of 5.5 and 3.5 Mg ha yr À1 , respectively, in the inter-row areas 1 and 2. We have demonstrated that erosive processes present in the study area exceed the rates of soil formation and the tolerable rates of erosion on a global scale. The results allow re-thinking of agricultural practices and management of soil systems to improve the sustainability of conventional Chilean vineyards and their soils.erosion, improved stock unearthing method, sustainable agriculture, vineyards | INTRODUCTIONGlobally, about a third of the total arable land has been lost in the last 40 years due to erosion, and at an alarming loss rate of more than 10 million ha per year (FAO, 2015). Many recent investigations estimated that cultivated soils show severe or moderate degradation due to the absence of vegetation cover and the use of herbicides (Cerdà,
