Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors are often used to characterize the surface of bare
soils in agricultural environments. They enable the soil moisture and roughness to be …

An extensive database of short to medium-term erosion rates as measured on erosion plots
in Europe under natural rainfall was compiled from the literature. Statistical analysis …

The principles and theoretical background are presented for a new process‐based model
(PESERA) that is designed to estimate long‐term average erosion rates at 1 km resolution …

Purpose Sediment connectivity at the landscape scale has gained interest in the last few
decades. Distributed approaches, such as topographic indices, are widely used to evaluate …

The Soil Information Working Group (SIWG) was etsablished at the 2004 plenary meeting of
the European Soil Bureau Network (Ispra, November 2004) with the objective of bringing …

Soil erosion by water is one of the major causes of land degradation in Lebanon. The
problem has not yet been treated in detail although it affects vast areas. This study …

Soil moisture is a key parameter in different environmental applications, such as hydrology
and natural risk assessment. In this paper, surface soil moisture mapping was carried out …

Soil loss on arable agricultural land is typically an order of magnitude higher than under
undisturbed native vegetation. Although there have been several recent attempts to quantify …

Map-based assessment of land degradation processes supports national monitoring and
protection of the soil resources, in line with the Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) and the …

Model-based soil erosion studies have increased in number, given the availability of
geodata and the recent technological advances. However, their accuracy remains rather …
