Agricultural watersheds tend to be places of intensive farming activities that permanently
modify their microtopography. The surface characteristics of the soil vary depending on the …

Soil surface roughness has a strong influence on runoff and erosion, affecting surface
storage capacity, water flow routing and velocity, and modifying runoff rates. It also reduces …

In this study we investigated the quantitative and qualitative aspects of soil organic matter
(SOM) losses caused by water erosion within a small catchment in Northern Laos, under …

Predicting the rate at which rain infiltrates on steep slopes is very uncertain. There is no
consistent information in the literature. We have therefore related infiltrability to slope …

It was recently demonstrated that, infiltration into mountain-tilled soils with highly stable
microaggregates, increases with increasing slope gradient. In this work we investigate the …

Microtopography, consisting of small‐scale excursions in the elevation of the land surface
on millimeter to centimeter scales, is ubiquitous on hillslopes, but its effects are rarely …

Soil surface roughness and the complementary soil microrelief depression pattern
determine water infiltration, overland flow and drainage network development. The …

The Saint-Venant equations have consistently proved capable of accurately simulating
hydrographs at plot scale. However, recent works showed that even though the hydrograph …

In most regions of the world overgrazing plays a major role in land degradation and thus
creates a major threat to natural ecosystems. Several feedbacks exist between overgrazing …

Soil erosion is a multi-scale geographical interface process with high spatiotemporal
variability. This study aimed to assess runoff and sediment dynamics under different …
