“…Researchers have found that by increasing the level of the salt concentration in water, they can enhance the EC of soil and minimize the availability of N, P, and K [ 22 , 26 , 38 ]. The availability of nutrients in the soil is affected by salinity via modifying retention, fixation, and transformation of nutrients in soils, changing the absorption of nutrients that affect the growth and development of plants [ 7 , 43 ]. The high concentration of salts also affects the enzyme behavior and application of photosynthates in plants.…”

“…The high concentration of salts also affects the enzyme behavior and application of photosynthates in plants. Several researchers found that cationic (Ca, Mg, Na, K) inequality affects the rate of photosynthesis and the activity of stroma enzymes [ 7 , 44 ]. Due to the influence of salt, there is an enhancement in the EC of soil that results from a significant decrease in yield, which overall results in the reduction in grain and stover yield by affecting the availability of water and nutrients for the plants.…”

“…Soil organic matter (SOM), characterized by the residence time and biodiversity present, regulates the movement of water by increasing the moisture-retaining capacity and provides essential nutrients for plants and microbes [ 6 ]. On the contrary, anthropic intervention with herbicides causes a decrease in the water content of the soil, which is faster in areas with less vegetation [ 7 ]. SOM also improves and controls the stability of the soil structure as well as the number of essential aggregates [ 8 ].…”

(1) Background: Arid conditions occur due to climate abnormality in the different biogeography regions of the world. The aim of this research is to investigate the stoichiometry of manure and moisture regimes on soil properties, microbial biomass C:N:P turnover, and the grain yield of mustard crops under stress in arid conditions; (2) Methods: The field experiment was carried out for 2 years at the farms of the agriculture college of SKN, Jobner (SKRAU Bikaner, Rajasthan). The effects of organic manure, moisture regimes, and saline water treatment on soil properties, such as the soil microbial biomass build-up, loss, turnover, and recycling of carbon (Cmic), nitrogen (Nmic), and phosphorus (Pmic) in the mustard crop were investigated. The twenty-seven treatments studied are described as follows: organic manures (control, FYM @ 10 t ha−1 and vermicompost @ 5 t ha−1), moisture regimes (0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 IW/CPE ratio), and saline irrigation water (control, 6, 12 dSm−1); (3) Results: Our findings indicate that vermicompost @ 5 t ha−1 significantly increases moisture retention and the available water in soil at 33 kPa and 1500 kPa. The microbial biomass build-up of Cmic increases by 43.13% over the control and 14.36% over the FYM. Similarly, the soil microbial biomass of Nmic, and Pmic also increase considerably. The SHC of the soil is enhanced by the application of farmyard fertilizer and vermicompost. The BD and pH decrease significantly, while the SHC, OC, CEC, and ECe of the soil increase significantly. The build-up, losses, and fluxes of the soil microbial biomass of Cmic, Nmic, and Pmic increase significantly, and the turnover rate decreases under vermicompost @ 5 t ha−1. A significant increase in grain yield was observed. Irrigation with a 0.8 IW/CPE moisture regime significantly decreases the pH of the SHC; (4) Conclusions: We hypothesized the interactive outcomes of the moisture regime and found that organic manure significantly influenced grain and stover yield. The treatments of quality irrigation water and the addition of organic manure are efficient enough to improve soil properties, water holding capacity, and soil microbial biomass C:N:P in stress climatic conditions.

“…Carón, Dalmasso, Ortín & Verheyen (2015) evaluaron las diferentes alternativas de restauración de un ecosistema de bosque tropical seco, en donde se concluyó que la recuperación del bosque está fuertemente condicionada por la naturaleza y el tiempo de ocurrencia de los disturbios. Mir, Dad, Singh & Kamili (2022) evaluaron el estado de restauración pasiva y su influencia sobre la salud del suelo, la estructura vegetal y las reservas de carbono en los bosques de pino de Kashmir Himalaya, India. Los resultados obtenidos exhibieron suelos franco-arcillosos con pH 6.67, conductividad eléctrica 0.11, densidad aparente (Mg m −3) 1.31, SOC y TN (g kg − 1) 10,21 y 0,63; Después de la restauración, los resultados mostraron suelos franco-arcillosos tanto en RT como en NR, lo que indica que la textura del suelo había cambiado poco, con menor acidez.…”

Con la finalidad de conocer el estado del suelo en diferentes estados sucesionales de las coberturas vegetales naturales, se inició con la interpretación de imágenes de satélite en la vereda Montes Grandes del municipio de Pueblo Bello en Colombia, para buscar formaciones asociadas a coberturas naturales arbóreas. Se seleccionó una formación en proceso de sucesión natural con 30 años de edad, un bosque natural adulto, y un cultivo agroforestal que incluye café, sembrado hace tres años, con árboles nativos adultos. En cada una de estas formaciones se levantó una parcela de un décimo de hectárea, dentro de estas se levantaron todas las plantas que tuviesen una altura mínima de 1,3 metros y un diámetro a la altura del pecho de 3,5 centímetros. Se hizo la colecta de especímenes, la determinación de las especies, el cálculo del número de individuos, especies, familias y algunos indicadores ecológicos. También se tomaron muestras de suelos, las cuales fueron analizadas por un laboratorio de suelo certificado, obteniendo como resultado de todo el ejercicio que la formación vegetal vegetación secundaria presenta el mayor número de especies y de individuos por unidad de área, que los árboles más altos se encuentran en los sistemas agroforestales y el mayor volumen de biomasa viva se encuentra en el bosque natural adulto. En cuanto al suelo, los sistemas agroforestales presentaron altos niveles por encima de las demás formaciones de materia orgánica, carbono orgánico, capacidad de intercambio catiónico y magnesio. La formación vegetación secundaria presenta los valores más altos en fósforo, azufre y saturación de calcio, mientras que el bosque natural adulto lidera los valores de manganeso.

“…India is planning to restore 26 Mha of degraded lands by 2030 to fulfill its commitment to the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (Kumar et al, 2022). Several countries have been involved in various programs promoting forest restoration, such as the Bonn Challenge and the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (Mir et al, 2022).…”

Ecological engineering has been implemented worldwide to mitigate land use and management stresses. It can remarkably alter the spatiotemporal patterns of carbon sinks and regulate ecosystem functions and processes. However, the linkage between ecological engineering and carbon sink remains unclear. To adequately address this dilemma, we must urgently determine the spatiotemporal patterns and drivers of carbon sinks and illustrate ecological response and feedback mechanisms. We created a Special Issue to answer these questions, establish future research directions, and propose a framework for sustainable land use and management. All these efforts provide a theoretical basis to guide the implementation of ecological projects and contribute to global carbon neutrality.
