Sedimentation is an important parameter to assess the life of a reservoir. Seventy-eight
years ago, Cook was the first to identify mathematically, the three major factors affecting soil …

The health of arid and semiarid lands needs to be monitored, particularly if they are used to
produce food and fiber, and are prone to loss of vegetation cover and soil. Indicators of …

Soil erosion is addressed as one of the main hydrogeological risks in the European Union.
Since the average annual soil loss rate exceeds the annual average formation rate, soil is …

Erosion is one of the major threats listed in the Soil Thematic Strategy of the European
Commission and the Alps are one of the most vulnerable ecosystems, with one of the …

Retention and sequestration of soil organic matter is extremely important for the
maintenance of soil structure, agricultural productivity and carbon sequestration. Research …

Fuxian Lake is one of the most important freshwater supply lakes of China; however, its
water quality is affected by land degradation in its basin. This study aimed to monitor and …

Runoff and sediment are two of the critical factors for watershed management. This study
developed a physiographic soil erosion–deposition model (PSED) by application of GIS to a …

The transient effect of forest fires on runoff, erosion and yield of woody biomass has been
investigated by combining the experimental approach with mathematical models of …

In arid climate regions, redistribution of runoff water is highly relevant for vegetation
development. The process of water redistribution at catchment scale is studied with the …

A traditional way to estimate the amount of sediment deposition in a reservoir is simply
based on the variation in the elevation measurements made at different times. In the present …
