The complex interactions between biocrust properties and rainfall characteristics give rise to
partitioning of infiltration and runoff. In this review we examine primary mechanisms for …

The evaluation of soil susceptibility to runoff and water erosion in the field is often expensive
or time-consuming. Several authors have reported that susceptibility is linked to aggregate …

The soil water content is recognized as one of many runoff controlling factors in semiarid
environments. A simple, physically based distributed model has been developed to study …

Water erosion is the most destructive erosion type worldwide, causing serious land
degradation and environmental deterioration. Against a background of climate change and …

An interpretation of soil hydrology and erosion data obtained from limestone areas in
southeast Spain is presented in the framework of recent hypotheses on runoff generation …

Daily runoff depths from 28 plots (5m× 2m) recorded during a 2-year period in the semi-arid
to subhumid highlands of Tigray were analyzed to study the effect of vegetation restoration …

Three small catchments (< 2.5 km2 in size) were monitored in the Central Spanish Pyrenees
to analyse the hydrological and geomorphological consequences of different land covers …

Reforestation efforts in dryland ecosystems frequently encounter drought and limited soil
productivity, although both factors usually interact synergistically to worsen water stress for …

This article deals with flood events in Mediterranean ephemeral streams typical of the
Valencia region. The combination of the basin physical characteristics (steep slopes, sparse …

Runoff and erosion processes are often non-linear and scale dependent, which complicate
runoff and erosion modelling at the catchment scale. One of the reasons for scale …
