Mastering the spatio-temporal evolution of soil erosion on regional sloping farmland is
crucial for optimizing erosion control planning and carrying out soil quality evaluations. To …

Root reinforcement, provided by plants in soil, can be exerted by a mechanical effect,
increasing soil shear strength for the presence of roots, or by a hydrological effect, induced …

Understanding the soil and water conservation (SWC) impact of steep‐slope agricultural
practices (eg terraces) has arguably never been more relevant than today, in the face of …

Cropland on steep slopes is crucial for smallholders to maintain food security and their
livelihoods, but the social‐ecological predicament on global steeply sloped cropland is …

The presence of roads in high steep agricultural systems is often linked with landslides
occurrence. This research aims to model multi-temporal overland flow dynamics in a shallow …

Landslides occur frequently in Lixian County, China, and land use has changed significantly
in recent decades. We obtained land use data for the years 1980, 2000, and 2018, as well …
