Soil water erosion on cultivated lands represents a severe threat to soil resources in the
world, and especially in Mediterranean areas, due to their topographic, edaphic and climatic …

Assessments of the implications of soil erosion require quantification of soil erosion rates
(SE) and sediment yield (SSY) at regional scales under present and future climate and land …

Soil erosion is a key factor in Mediterranean environments, and is not only closely related to
geoecological factors (lithology, topography, and climatology) but also to land-use and plant …

Viticulture is a major worldwide economic sector with a vine area of 7.52 million ha, wine
production of 288 Mhl, and wine exports of 26 billion euros. Nevertheless, viticulture has to …

Data on surface runoff and soil loss on gentle slopes with vineyards are analysed. Using a
rainfall simulator, 22 rainstorms with varied intensities from 30 to 117.5 mmh− 1 and return …

The soils of Mediterranean vineyards are usually managed with continuous tillage, resulting
in bare soil, low infiltration and high soil erosion rates. Soil nutrients, such as nitrogen, could …

Initiated by the need to quantify erosion rates and the impacts of global changes on erosion,
several attempts have been made to apply erosion models at regional scales. However …

Soil erosion, runoff and nutrient-loss patterns over a two-year period (1999–2000) were
monitored in erosion plots on a mountainside with olive (Olea europaea cv. Picual) trees …

Soil management in vineyard inter-rows has a great influence on soil hydraulic conductivity
and bulk density, and, consequently, on runoff and soil erosion processes at the field scale …

In hydrology and geomorphology, less attention has been paid to rain event properties such
as duration, mean and peak rain rate than to rain properties such as drop size or kinetic …
