- 摘要：
- Land degradation is predicted to damage more than a quarter of the world’s land surface, resulting in decreased or lost soil performance owing to physical and chemical degradation, as well as falling biological and economic productivity. Land loss and climate variation are two interrelated routes with biophysical and man-made drivers, consequences, and remedies. Land restoration has an influence on agro-ecological systems’ socioeconomic constancy. Changes in the quantity and quality of ecosystem services as a result of climate resilience will have an impact on livelihoods in a variety of businesses. Agriculture adaptation planning should emphasize continuous land restoration, as well as the possibilities that come with restoring degraded land. While some national agricultural adaptation plans recognize the need of soil protection, many still fail to include land restoration as a component of such strategy. Management choices such as changing crop types and animal breeds, as well as adjusting the timing and location of management actions, have been a major emphasis for crop and livestock production systems. In order to achieve land degradation neutrality (LDN), efforts must be made to minimize additional net losses of land-based natural capital as compared to a reference condition, or baseline. Within individual land types, where land type is determined by land potential, planning for neutrality entails counterbalancing predicted losses with steps to obtain corresponding benefits. LDN adoption contributes to SDG 15 and other associated targets, providing possibilities for achieving these objectives in a cost-effective and environmentally sound manner at the same time.
