The composition of sediment fluxes caused by erosion can vary greatly both spatially and temporally, causing different impacts on water bodies. The erosion process is mainly driven by soil and rainfall characteristics as well as land use. The aim of this research is to evaluate the combined effect of these factors in a mountain agroforestry system,...

Soil erosion by water is a major cause of land degradation in the highlands of Ethiopia and anywhere else in the world, but its magnitude and variability are rarely documented across land uses and climatological conditions. The purpose of this study was to examine runoff and soil loss responses under cropland (CL) and grazing land (GL) management p...

Soil erosion is especially severe in areas affected by intermittent heavy rainfalls after dry periods, and human practices such as deforestation. Mediterranean mountain environments underwent conversion of rangelands into croplands during the previous centuries to increase agricultural production but this process was reversed after land abandonment...
To gain a better understanding of the global application of soil erosion prediction models, we comprehensively reviewed relevant peer-reviewed research literature on soil-erosion modelling published between 1994 and 2017. We aimed to identify (i) the processes and models most frequently addressed in the literature, (ii) the regions within which mod...
