Attributing soil erosion to land management and climatic drivers is important for global policy
development to protect soils. The Chinese Loess Plateau is one of the most eroded areas in …

Soil erosion represents one of the most important processes of land degradation in the world
and is considered a serious threat to the provision of food supply, to human health and to …

Wetlands in drylands are dynamic landforms and hotspots of ecosystem service provision,
including downstream improvements in water quality by mediating fluxes of sediment …

Vineyards are customarily managed using tillage to eliminate competition from other plants.
If the vineyards are on a slope, however, this process leads to considerable soil loss. The …

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 …

The dynamics of suspended sediment transport were monitored continuously in a large
agricultural catchment in southwest France from January 2007 to March 2009. The objective …

Vegetation cover affects soil erosion, organic matter and nutrient contents, water storage in
soil and pesticide leaching. In vineyards where copper fungicides are used, grass cover may …

The relation between rainfall, runoff, erosion and sediment transport is highly variable in
Mediterranean catchments. Their relation can be modified by land use changes and climate …

Understanding and quantifying sediment load is important in catchments draining highly
erodible materials that eventually contribute to siltation of downstream reservoirs. Within this …

Sediment connectivity is a principal element for revealing sediment yield variations in
catchments. Although several methods for quantifying this element have been tested, there …
