Land degradation affects natural and cultivated socio-ecosystems worldwide. Soil erosion is
one of the main processes leading to land degradation, and the process is accelerated by …

Accelerated soil erosion by water and wind involves preferential removal of the light soil
organic carbon (SOC) fraction along with the finer clay and silt particles. Thus, the SOC …

Soil erosion is a threat to food security, especially in regions where the area of arable land is
shrinking dramatically because of soil degradation. Research on soil erosion expanded …

On the steep hill slopes of southwest Ethiopia, soil erosion may cause significant declines in
soil organic carbon (SOC) and nutrients, negatively affecting cropland productivity. Soil …

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 …

Understanding how organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) move with soil along the fluvial
system and where eroded organic C and N sources occur over catchment landscape is of …

Understanding the processes governing lateral terrestrial organic carbon transfer is
confounded by the fact that organic carbon deposits on land have not yet been fully …

Soil carbon (C) redistribution within cultivated landscapes is strongly controlled by soil
erosion and sedimentation and it is widely appreciated that C is preferentially transported …

Check dams are small engineering structures. They are used worldwide for soil and water
conservation, gully rehabilitation, hydrological regulation, and food supply. Eroded materials …

The implementation of alley cropping in orchards can be a sustainable strategy to increase
farm productivity by crop diversification and contribute to climate change mitigation. In this …
