Temporal and spatial variability of soil bulk density and near-saturated hydraulic conductivity under two contrasted tillage management systems
Physical properties of cultivated soils vary in space and time and according to tillage
practices. To characterize this variability, we measured surface and subsurface (15 cm …

Can DEM time series produced by UAV be used to quantify diffuse erosion in an agricultural watershed?
N Pineux, J Lisein, G Swerts, CL Bielders, P Lejeune… - Geomorphology, 2017 - Elsevier
Erosion and deposition modelling should rely on field data. Currently these data are seldom
available at large spatial scales and/or at high spatial resolution. In addition, conventional …
