During the last few decades, many case studies focused on the dynamics of fluvial systems
in response to hillslope erosion, land-use impact, and climate changes. This paper will …

Soil erosion is a geomorphological and, at the same time, a land degradation process that
may cause environmental and property damage, loss of livelihoods and services as well as …

Nearly all of Europe is affected by soil erosion. A major policy response is required to
reverse the impacts of erosion in degraded areas, particularly in light of the current climate …

Closed depressions (CDs) are typical geomorphological features of the loess belt in Europe.
CDs have been reported in several regions of the European loess belt, where they are …

In humid climate zones, like Central Europe, past soil erosion and gullying are strongly
connected with agricultural expansion, and extreme soil erosion events often play an …

A Holocene sediment budget was constructed for the 758 km2 Dijle catchment in the
Belgian loess belt, in order to understand long-term sediment dynamics. Hillslope sediment …

This study presents a Holocene sediment budget for the Nethen catchment, a typical river
catchment (55 km2) in the Belgian loess belt. Soil erosion and hillslope sediment storage …

Soil variability across landscapes is well known and results from the combination of
geomorphologic and pedogenetic processes. Despite its importance, little quantitative …

Over 10,000 closed depressions (CDs) are found in the silty plains of Northeastern France.
These small wetlands support the growth of rare plant species. Although their origins, which …

Evidence of the agricultural use, during Roman or Medieval times, of forested areas formerly
considered to be ancient, as well as legacies of this former land use on plant biodiversity …
