The Role of Soil Surface in a Sustainable Semiarid Ecosystem
Patterns in a semiarid ecosystem are important because they directly and indirectly affect ecological processes, biodiversity, and ecosystem resilience. Understanding the causes and effects of these patterns is critical for long-term land surface management and conservation efforts in semiarid regions, which are especially sensitive to climate change and human-caused disturbances. It is known that there is a regular connection between the vegetation and the living species in a habitat since some animals evolved to live in a semiarid ecosystem and rely on plants for food. In this work, we have constructed a coupled mathematical model to connect the water resource, vegetation and living organisms and have investigated how the soil surface affects the resulting patterns for the long term. This study contributes to a better understanding of ecological patterns and processes in semiarid environments by shedding light on the complex interaction mechanisms that depend on the structure of semiarid ecosystems. The findings provide further critical insight into the influence of efforts for improving ecosystem resilience and adjusting to the challenges posed by climate change and human activities.

Contrasting dynamics of seed banks and standing vegetation of annuals and perennials along a rainfall gradient
The soil seed bank is a major component of plant communities. However, long-term analyses of the dynamics of the seed bank and the ensuing vegetation are rare. Here, we studied the dynamics in plant communities with high…
A Collaborative Platform for Soil Organic Carbon Inference Based on Spatiotemporal Remote Sensing Data
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a key indicator of soil health, fertility, and carbon sequestration, making it essential for sustainable land management and climate change mitigation. However, large-scale SOC monitoring rem…
Decision MakingManagementRole of Nano-fertilizer in Plants Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE)- A mini-review
Over the past half-century, the combination of technology and innovation has been developed to manage the negative impact of synthetic fertilizer on land ecosystems to identify the limitations of sustainability and optim…
NutritionStructured foraging of soil predators unveils functional responses to bacterial defenses
Predators and their foraging strategies often determine ecosystem structure and function. Yet, the role of protozoan predators in microbial soil ecosystems remains elusive despite the importance of these ecosystems to gl…
Identification of Tree Species in Japanese Forests based on Aerial Photography and Deep Learning
Natural forests are complex ecosystems whose tree species distribution and their ecosystem functions are still not well understood. Sustainable management of these forests is of high importance because of their significa…
