High-altitude ecosystems shelter important reserves of biodiversity, water provision and soil
organic carbon (SOC) stocks. Climate change, agricultural encroachment, overgrazing, and …

Terrace soils are distinctive features of the agricultural landscape in Europe. Due to their
historical and aesthetic significance, they are a resource for agriculture and tourism …

Soil degradation by water erosion has been accelerated by human activities. This process is
aggravated in the Andes region due to steep slopes, sparse vegetation cover, and sporadic …

There is a lack of quantitative information describing the physical processes causing soil
erosion in the Andean Highlands, especially those related to interrill and rill erodibility …

This paper presents a case study in assessment of erosion hotspots in an Andean
watershed. To do this, we made use of an interface called Geospatial Modelling of Soil …

Soil organic C (SOC), the largest terrestrial C pool, has been shown to be sensitive to
agricultural disturbance. In the Andean Puna, agricultural expansion is thought to be …

Predicting spatial patterns and intensity of soil erosion and sediment redistribution in
landscapes can be problematic in areas where few experimental data are available. Yet it is …

Abstract Information related to rainfall erosivity in the Andes is scarce. This study was carried
out to determine the characteristics of rainfall events at the La Encañada watershed …

Choosing a particular textural fraction as an erodibility predictor is often confusing because
various fractions of soil particles have been introduced as erodibility index by many …

After being employed for over 45 years at Wageningen University, I consider it an honor to
address my farewell speech to you. What kept me inspired these many years is the …
