For many years, scientists have tried to understand, describe and quantify water and
sediment fluxes, with associated substances like pollutants, at multiple scales. In the past …

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

The 346km of the middle Ebro River between Logroño and La Zaida is a free meandering
channel in a wide floodplain. This reach contains a discontinuous riparian corridor, including …

Abstract Changes in floodplain sediment dynamics have profound effects on riverine
habitats and riparian biodiversity. Depopulation due to socio‐economic changes in the …

The effects of increasing agricultural land use on fluvial morphology have received much
attention in fluvial research. However, in several regions in Europe, a reversing trend of …

This study adopts the “syndrome approach”, originally defined by the Potsdam Institute for
Climate Impact Research (PIK),(Downing et al., 2002) to assess and map rural land …

A series of revegetation practices have been implemented to improve the environmental
quality and to reduce water and soil losses in the wind and water erosion transitional belt of …

This paper analyses the effects of land abandonment on runoff and sediment yield in a
central inland area of Portugal. Rainfall simulation experiments were performed in areas of …

This paper presents a quantitative multi-temporal analysis performed in a GIS environment
and based on different spatial information sources. The research is aimed at investigating …

Reliable and complete knowledge of the historical floods is necessary for understanding the
extreme hydrological dynamics of the rivers, their natural variability and anthropic changes …
