“…To restore deteriorating ecosystems, countries in Asia's drylands have carried out a series of ecosystem restoration programmes involving forest restoration, grassland protection, combatting desertification, and securing water resources in recent years (Daeseob & Gyumi, 2016; Delang & Wang, 2013; Khalilimoghadam & Bodaghabadi, 2020; Tal, 2006; Yin et al, 2019). These programmes promote several SDGs.…”

The multiple effects of ecosystem restoration programmes deserve attention. After reviewing the social-ecological effects of 23 ecosystem restoration programs in Asia's drylands, we find that these programmes mainly contribute to sustainable development goals (SDGs) synergistically, but the trade-offs between social-ecological effects still exist. Among the five goals of SDG15 (Life on Land), SDG13 (Climate Action), SDG6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG1 (No poverty), and SDG2 (Zero Hunger), 11 programs can synergistically achieve no less than three goals, especially grassland restoration and water diversion in China, as well as water management programmes in Israel. However, the contribution of ecosystem restoration programs to SDG15 easily weakens SDG6, SDG1, and SDG2, indicating the competition of land and water between ecosystem restoration and agriculture. To reduce the trade-offs among SGDs caused by ecosystem restoration, we propose the social-ecological system research framework of 'Dryland Boundary -Water, Food, Energy and Ecosystem Nexus -Meta-coupling -Nature-based Solutions' to guide the implementation of ecosystem restoration programmes from four aspects: supply-demand matching, element matching, regional matching, and local adaptation.

“…While, by the passage of time since mulching, plant diversity could increase in the mulch-treated area even more than the control area. For example, Khalilimoghadam and Bodaghabadi (2020) reported that 'Shannon's diversity index increased over the time period of 30-40 years compared to the initial years of sand dunes stabilization (< 5 years).…”

Wind erosion is one of the desertification results and is among the natural processes that mostly occur under dry conditions and high wind velocity. Using oil-mulches is one of the common methods to stabilize sand dunes. The current study aimed to investigate the short-term effects of oil-mulch on vegetation attributes (i.e., cover and diversity) and rangeland condition score (RCS) using integrated ecological and remote sensing-based approaches in arid regions of Southwestern Iran. A vegetation survey was carried out in 2019 in the oil-mulched and control area, and a remotely sensed vegetation index (MSAVI) was calculated for 2017 and 2019. The results indicate that one year after treatment, compared to the control area, vegetation cover (30 ± 17.11 vs. 17 ± 5.44 %) and litter (4.6 ± 2.18 vs. 0.94 ± 1.55 %) increased significantly in the oil-mulched area, while bare soil (65.20 ± 17.34 vs. 82.31 ± 5.84 %) decreased. Further, diversity indices (Species evenness, Shannon, and Simpson indices) declined by applying oil-mulch (88%, 63%, and 71%, respectively). The rangeland condition score was significantly higher in the oil-mulched area than in the control area (22 ± 1.86 vs. 12 ± 0.88; P < 0.001). Comparing MSAVI between 2017 and 2019 showed that vegetation cover increased 44.8%. Based on the results, it can be suggested that planting native palatable species in an oil-mulched area with the exclusion of livestock grazing is likely to increase the benefits of oil-mulch treatment and will lead to better rangeland condition score.

In addition, a strong positive association between vegetation cover and biomass production was reported (Flombaum & Sala, 2007;Louhaichi et al, 2018;Pordel et al, 2018).…”
