Population loss in rural areas is rapidly increasing in high‐income countries, raising
concerns and debate, given its socio‐economic consequences. Despite the evident …

Overland flow connectivity and runoff and sediment trap effectiveness are currently the
cutting edge topics in soil erosion research. The effect of agricultural terraces, irrigation …

Several decades of intensive rainfed farming in Mediterranean mountains and later land
abandonment has led to rapid land use and land cover changes. During recent centuries …

The aim of this research was to analyse the effect of rainfall intensity and slope on soil and
nutrient losses by hydric erosion in soils with different hydrological characteristics. This …

Mediterranean mountains are sensitive agroecosystems that have suffered intense land use
and land cover changes (LULCC) during the last century. From the middle of the twentieth …

Abstract Information on sediment sources in river catchments is required for effective
sediment control strategies, to understand sediment, nutrient and pollutant transport, and for …

The loss of fertile topsoil is one of the principal soil degradation problems in mountain
agroecosystems worldwide. Soil erosion rates reach their maximum during exceptional …

This research paper addresses the ongoing challenge of developing fine-resolution global
digital soil property maps for hydrological modelling applications. Hydrological models are …

In the Mediterranean region, the long history of cultivation is associated with significant
changes in the original landscape. Agricultural intensification and subsequent land …

Soil erosion and sediment yield are strongly affected by land use/land cover (LULC).
Spatially distributed erosion models are of great interest to assess the expected effect of …
