Land Degradation and Development, October 2025

Long-term land-use transitions significantly alter soil nutrient dynamics, microbiological functions, and carbon (C) pool distributions in the soil profile. This study assessed the long-term effects of converting a 50-year-old primary forest into cultivated land-use systems, namely, agriculture (AGLU), horticulture (HOLU), and agroforestry (AFLU), over a period of 20–26 years in the Eastern Himalayas...
