“…Changes in land use are one of the key factors affecting soil erosion and an important means for policymakers to effectively improve regional soil erosion conditions at a lower cost [68][69][70]. Although the rapid expansion of construction land may reduce soil loss in the short term, this phenomenon is neither positive nor sustainable [71].…”

Revealing the relationship between land use changes and soil erosion provides a reference for formulating future land use strategies. This study simulated historical and future soil erosion changes based on the RULSE and GeoSOS-FLUS models and used a random forest model to explain the relative importance of natural and anthropogenic factors on soil erosion. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) From 1990 to 2020, significant changes in land use occurred in Kunming, with a continuous reduction in woodland, grassland, and cropland, being converted into construction land, which grew by 195.18% compared with 1990. (2) During this period, the soil erosion modulus decreased from 133.85 t/(km²·a) in 1990 to 130.32 t/(km²·a) in 2020, with a reduction in soil loss by 74,485.46 t/a, mainly due to the conversion of cropland to construction and ecological lands (woodland, grassland). (3) The expansion of construction land will continue, and it is expected that by 2050, the soil erosion modulus will decrease by 3.77 t/(km²·a), 4.27 t/(km²·a), and 3.27 t/(km²·a) under natural development, rapid development, and ecological protection scenarios, respectively. However, under the cropland protection scenario, the soil erosion modulus increased by 0.26 t/(km²·a) compared with 2020. (4) The spatial pattern of soil erosion is influenced by both natural and anthropogenic factors, and as human activities intensify in the future, the influence of anthropogenic factors will further increase. Traditionally, the expansion of construction land is thought to increase soil loss. Our study may offer a new perspective and provide a reference for future land use planning and soil loss management in Kunming.

With increasing concerns regarding water resource management and environmental sustainability, understanding land use change and the hydrological health of watersheds is critical for informed decision-making. This study aimed to explore the effect of land use changes on hydrological health resilience in the Rejoso watershed, East Java, using remote sensing techniques and geographic information system tools to characterize the various land cover types. Landsat ETM 7+ satellite imagery was used to describe land cover classes. Hydrological health indicators such as water transmission, water availability during the dry season, and peak rainfall buffer events were systematically analyzed in relation to land cover change conditions. Regression statistical methods were used to measure the impact of land cover changes on hydrological parameters. The study results showed that the area of forest land in the Rejoso watershed tended to increase from 2011 to 2021; on the other hand, the area of agroforestry land tended to decrease along with the increase in upland land. In general, the hydrological health of the Rejoso watershed is decreasing from year to year. The increase in forest area, agroforestry, settlements, and ponds provides a positive response to the hydrological health of the watershed. On the other hand, the increase in moorland and rice fields has a negative impact on the hydrological health of the watershed.

Water erosion is associated with soil degradation, mainly with the removal of soil particles, their downstream transport as runoff, and, at the end, the accumulation of the carried material in new sites (Polykretis et al. 2023). Humic horizons are reduced and often already removed, and transported material, rich in an organic carbon (OC), covers an original topsoil in the concave sites, resulting in the change of landscape structure (Zádorová & Penížek 2018;Juřicová et al. 2022). Human activities, especially intensive agriculture in the case of Chernozems, rapidly accelerate soil erosion (Borrelli et al. 2017). The intensity of the soil particle transport is negatively correlated with the rate of infiltration, while this
