The rehabilitation and restoration of land is a key strategy to recover services-goods and
resources-ecosystems offer to the humankind. This paper reviews key examples to …

Soil erosion is a threat to food security, especially in regions where the area of arable land is
shrinking dramatically because of soil degradation. Research on soil erosion expanded …

In this contribution we compile and summarize the available paleo-environmental lacustrine
data for the last 20,000 years from the southern Central Pyrenees (from west to east: El …

Former agricultural fields are increasingly abandoned in several regions in Southern
Europe. In many cases this leads to vegetation succession which may have a direct impact …

One of the most difficult issues in the development of hydrologic models is to find a rigorous
source of data and specific parameters to a given problem, on a given location that enable …

This paper reviews the research on land use change and its corresponding ecological
responses. Patterns of land use changes in spatio-temporal level are produced by the …

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 …

This paper analyzes runoff and soil loss in relation to the rainfall regimes and land use
changes in a small mountainous watershed in the Three Gorges Area (TGA) of China …

Abandoned cropland areas have the potential to contribute to climate change mitigation
through natural revegetation and afforestation programs. These programs increase above …

Tropical mountain regions are affected by rapid land use/-cover change, which may threaten
their (eco-) hydrological functions. Although there is a growing interest in evaluating the …
