The effects of human activity on geomorphic processes, particularly those related to
denudation/sedimentation, are investigated by reviewing case studies and global …

Abstract Information on the main sources supplying deleterious sediment loads to river
systems is needed to improve our understanding of soil erosion processes to better target …

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 …

Sediment source fingerprinting is increasingly used to provide insight into the dynamics of
catchment sediment transfer processes, yet relatively few studies seek to validate source …

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 …

Abstract In the Cordillera Blanca, the glaciers delineated by some of the highest peaks in the
tropical Peruvian Andes have experienced a fast retreat over the last few decades. At the …

In slopes of Mediterranean mid-mountain areas, land use and land cover changes linked to
the abandonment of cropland activity affect soil quality and degradation and soil …

Purpose Soil loss is considered one of the most important consequences of land
degradation as it affects the production of agricultural and forested areas, and the natural …

Soil erosion and fine particle exports are two of the major concerns of soil nutrient loss and
water quality decrease nowadays. In Mediterranean mountainous environments, agricultural …
