“…In addition, higher SOC in forestland might be another reason. Previous studies showed that characteristics of plant community depend on landuse types [28] and significantly influence stability of soil aggregates via changing SOC and soil microbial biomass [29]. Zhao et al [10] reported that landuse types contributed to about 67% variation of soil aggregates, which implied that land use was a main factor influencing soil aggregate stability and size distribution.…”

Soil aggregate stability is a vital indicator for evaluating soil quality. Land-use types may affect size distribution and stability of soil aggregates via changing soil organic carbon content. This study was conducted to evaluate effects of long-term different land-use types on soil aggregates. Three land-use types (forestland, grassland, and cropland) were selected in Zhoukou City (Central China). Soil aggregates were assessed by both wet and dry sieving methods. Significant difference of mean weight diameter (MWD) was observed under different land-use types and sieving methods. In 0-20 cm layer, MWD ranged from 0.32 to 1.45 mm under wet sieving method, while it ranged from 3.43 to 6.32 mm under dry sieving method; in 20-40 cm layer, the MWD ranged from 0.66 to 1.15 mm and from 2.74 to 6.48 mm under wet and dry sieving methods, respectively. The MWD for the wet sieving method was lower than that under dry sieving method, which might indicate that the soil tended to suffer from erodibility. MWD under both sieving methods was the highest in forestland, suggesting that the forestland soil was more resistant to soil erosion. The positive correlation between MWD and soil organic carbon was significant under wet sieving method. These results showed that land-use types had significant effects on soil aggregates, and soil organic carbon was related to stability of soil aggregates. These results would help to provide guidance for alleviating soil erosion and promoting soil quality under different land-use types.

“…Wetland is an important part of ecosystem, which has important ecological, economic and social value. However, many wetlands have suffered serious damage due to human activities (Tendar and Sridith, 2021). For the needs of human activities such as agriculture, urbanization and industrialization, many wetlands have been filled and reclaimed, leading to the disappearance and reduction of wetlands (Rashid et al, 2023).…”

Wetlands are badly damaged in many parts of the world. The wetland management of Minjiang Estuary wetland has achieved remarkable results. This provides valuable experience for wetland management in other areas. Minjiang Estuary wetland can achieve the effect, mainly because of the adoption of the water quality management, ecological restoration, and ecological tourism development. However, different management modes have their own scope of application. In order to spread its successes, three differential game modes related to Minjiang Estuary wetland management are constructed, and their equilibrium results are compared and analyzed. Finally, research shows that the amount of water quality control by governments is directly proportional to the resilience of wetlands. The amount of social organization culture is proportional to the degree of better water quality. The amount of development by the government and social organizations is directly proportional to the decrease of investment in the spontaneous tourism industry. When the loss caused by flood or the ecological restoration effect is large, the wetland should adopt the ecological restoration mode. When the increased income or reputation of ecotourism is large, the ecotourism development mode should be adopted. This provides a reference for how to manage wetlands and how to promote the management mode of Minjiang Estuary wetland to other areas more effectively.

“…The profile diagrams are crucial in describing certain general features of the forest structures that are not well represented and explained by the photographs and quantitative data [7]. Understanding plant diversity, composition, and structural profile is imperative for forest ecological study and provides essential information for long-term monitoring of environmental change, forest management, and wildlife conservation [4,6,8,9].…”

The present study provides preliminary information on floristic composition of lowland deciduous forest fragments in Thammasat University, Lampang Campus, Lampang Province, Northern Thailand. A total of 110 vascular plant species belonging to 43 families and 89 genera were collected and identified. The most common species were Dipterocarpus obtusifolius, Dipterocarpus tuberculatus, Cratoxylum cochinchinense, Diospyros ehretioides, Garcinia nigrolineata, and Anacardium occidentale. The structural profiles of straight stems, sparsely distributed trees, and open crowns with 3 layers were constructed. In addition, the lowland deciduous forest fragments on the campus are considered the young to the intermediate-staged secondary forests in the present study.
