Soil erosion is a critical environmental problem throughout the world's terrestrial
ecosystems. Erosion inflicts multiple, serious damages in managed ecosystems such as …

Basin sediment yield is the product of all sediment producing processes and sediment
transport within a basin. Consequently, the prediction of basin sediment yield should take …

Assessing the impacts of climatic and, in particular, land use changes on rates of soil
erosion by water is the objective of many national and international research projects …

An extensive database of short to medium-term erosion rates as measured on erosion plots
in Europe under natural rainfall was compiled from the literature. Statistical analysis …

To control the severe soil erosion in the Loess Plateau, China, a great number of soil
conservation measures including terracing, afforestation, and construction of sediment …

Soil resilience has recently been introduced into soil science to address sustainability of the
soil resource and to combat soil degradation. The concept of soil resilience and its …

There is a strong link between desertification of the drylands and emission of CO 2 from soil
and vegetation to the atmosphere. Thus, there is a strong need to revisit the desertification …

In semiarid landscapes, the linkage between runoff and vegetation is a particularly close
one. In this paper we report on the results of a long‐term and multiple‐scale study of …

Identifying how agricultural practices can be changed to reduce sediment loss requires
knowledge of the erosion processes and spatial areas contributing to end of catchment …

In the semiarid areas of the Mediterranean basin, restoration activities during the XXth
century have mainly relied on extensive plantations of Pinus halepensis, which now cover …
