However, research on aeolian desertification in this region has been limited. To develop a set of science-based preventive measures to mitigate desertification in this region, it is first necessary to clarify the status, evolution, and driving factors of aeolian desertification.

This article is from PLoS ONE , volume 9 . Abstract The native forests of Borneo have been impacted by selective logging, fire, and conversion to plantations at unprecedented scales since industrial-scale extractive industries began in the early 1970s.

This creates an information gap for conservation planning, especially with regard to selectively logged forests that maintain high conservation potential....

Freshwater lake ecosystems have supported livelihoods for millennia. Yet, most lakes worldwide today are suffering severe degradation in response to anthropogenic pressures. Scientists and managers are facing pressing challenges to define safe operating space for successful lake management into the future. Achieving these goals requires a clear understanding of nonlinear trajectories of ecosystems response to changes in multiple interacting drivers at multi-decadal scales. Based on a synthesis...

In the 1970s a new method of helping the poorest people in the world emerged: microlending. The idea is to give the very poorest people, those who live on less than two dollars per day, very small loans they can use to start businesses and serve their community. Thanks to the power of success stories and anecdotes of those helped by microlending, the idea caught on with philanthropists and governments in the west. The concept enjoyed the full throated endorsement of the Clintons, The Nobel...

Rainfall erosivity is one of the key factors influencing soil erosion by water. Improved knowledge of rainfall erosivity is critical for prediction of soil erosion and the implementation of soil and water conservation plan as well as sediment management projects under climate change. In this study, the Jing River Basin (JRB), a typical eco-environmentally vulnerable region of the Loess Plateau in China was selected as a case study. Spatial-temporal changing patterns of rainfall erosivity in the...
