Biogeosystem Technique (BGT*) Methodology Will Provide Semiarid Landscape Sustainability (A Case of the South Russia Volgograd Region Soil Resources)

Abstract

The science and political initiatives focus is not only concerning agricultural intensification for food security and human development. The prevention of land degradation and loss is important, and a new land-use technological platform is needed for human well-being and the ecosystem service coupling. An adverse change in the soil quality of the steppe terrain under the standard agriculture is revealed, and the dynamics of the ecosystem service is assessed. The results indicated that the standard land-use practice deteriorates stability of the soil cover, failing to ensure the soil productivity and the ecosystem services in a dry terrain. For land degradation prevention and soil-environmental services refinement, a new transcendental Biogeosystem Technique (BGT*) technological platform was developed. The BGT* is capable of providing long-term, sustainable land-use management. The BGT* methodology includes intra-soil milling, intra-soil pulse continually discrete watering, and intra-soil waste recycling. The BGT* is a basis for future political initiatives in land-use management to prevent land degradation and loss, to increase soil productivity, and to provide soil-environmental services.

Habitat Quality Assessment and Driving Factor Analysis of Xiangyu in Feng River Basin Based on InVEST Model

“…Therefore, in the assessment of habitat quality, parameter setting should focus on the degree of threat factors to the habitat and the cumulative influence range. Land use change and soil property evolution affect the ecological environment's quality and spatial patterns [38][39][40]. In future studies, the effects of engineering activities on habitat quality and habitat degradation will be further explored on other scales.…”

Runoff of Water and Its Quality under the Combined Impact of Agricultural Activities and Urban Development in a Small River Basin

“…As an innovative basis for the modeling of soil erosion [55] and the arrangement of agrolandscapes [56], an object-oriented approach has been adopted, which allows the structuring of information from the point of view of controllability and the corresponding methodology. The basin-scale approach to the integration of agro-and hydroecological monitoring and the soil protection management of watershed lands on basin principles [57][58][59][60] is a well-established concept that is already being applied in practice.…”

Physiological Functions of Carbon Dots and Their Applications in Agriculture: A Review

“…Pesticides and herbicides are widely used, and low fertilizer use efficiency leads to fertilizer loss, which seriously threatens the global ecosystem and is not conducive to the sustainable development of agriculture [2,3]. The biogeosystem technique (BGT) is known to increase soil productivity and keep soil health through intrasoil milling, intrasoil pulse continually discrete watering, and intrasoil waste recycling [4][5][6]. On the other hand, aiming to address the challenges of food growth and sustainable agricultural security development, there is an urgent need for agriculture to develop new green and environmentally friendly technologies to improve crop growth and development.…”
