To give soils and soil degradation, which are among the most crucial threats to ecosystem
stability, social and political visibility, small and large scale modelling and mapping of soil …

Soil erosion is generally recognized as the dominant process of land degradation. The
formation and expansion of gullies is often a highly significant process of soil erosion …

Trace elements (TEs) are deposited to soils mainly due to anthropogenic activities and pose
a significant threat to human health. In this review we aimed at (a) discussing the …

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 …

Abstract The Yihe River Basin is a key area for water conservation and soil erosion control in
northern China. The excessive development of land resources is a major factor causing soil …

Gully erosion has important on and off site effects. Therefore, several studies have been
conducted over the past decades to quantify gully headcut retreat (GHR) in different …

Bio-engineered slopes use vegetation as “live” protection elements against the triggering
forces of landslides, erosions and debris flows. In this paper, the effects of basic plant traits …

Incorporating sustainable materials into geotechnical applications increases day by day due
to the consideration of impacts on healthy geo-environment and future generations. The …

This review summarizes the effects of vegetation on runoff and soil loss in three dimensions:
vertical vegetation structures (aboveground vegetation cover, surface litter layer and …

Coupling vegetation cover pattern with soil erosion and runoff generation positions a multi-
discipline hotspot. Due to the widely occurred patchy vegetation cover and water-limited …
