Water erosion is a significant global threat due to the high soil loss rate and all its consequent implications. Technologies to predict erosion are strongly related to measurements and vice versa. Measurements can simply provide empirical evidence of the erosion process and are hard to extrapolate in time and space. Measurements were used to devel...

Soil erosion due to rainfall is a critical environmental issue in North Korea, exacerbated by deforestation and climate change. This study aims to estimate rainfall erosivity (RE) in North Korea using automated machine learning (AutoML), with a particular focus on regional soil erosion risks. North Korean data were sourced from the European Centre ...

Understanding how land use and land cover (LULC) changes affect soil erosion is essential for effective management of watershed areas. This study used Geographic Information Systems (GISs) and the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model to analyze the impact of LULC changes on soil erosion in the Dondor Watershed. Remote sensing data, in...

Amid global desertification, this study investigates karst ecosystems; analyzing soil’s physiological and ecological properties within intricate fissure networks supporting plant root growth. This study investigates soil nutrients in three types of rocky fissure network habitats in Maolan, through field surveys and experimental measurements. Signif...

The Massarosa wildfire, which occurred in July 2022 in Northwestern Tuscany (Italy), burned over 800 hectares, leading to significant environmental and geomorphological issues, including an increase in soil erosion rates. This study applied the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model to estimate soil erosion rates with a multi-temporal a...

Global changes have led to significant changes in soil erosion on the Loess Plateau. Soil erosion leads to the degradation of land resources and a decline in soil fertility, adversely affecting agricultural production and the socioeconomic situation. Therefore, revealing the spatiotemporal evolution patterns of soil erosion in the Loess Plateau reg...

Farmers have a pivotal responsibility in soil conservation: they can either preserve or deplete it through their choices. The responsibility of agriculture increases when practised in delicate ecosystems, such as lagoonal ones. The Venetian Lagoon islands, which are increasingly subjected to natural and anthropic subsidence, occasional flooding eve...

In this study, in a pioneering effort, glomalin proteins were extracted and geochemically characterized from soil in Serbia. Standard chemical (dry combustion, Walkley-Black) and spectroscopic methods (fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), scanning electron microscope (SEM)) were used to gain insight into t...

We investigate the influence of land use and land cover (LU/LC) changes on soil erosion and chemical weathering processes within the Nonguén watershed in the Coastal Cordillera of south-central Chile. The watershed is divided into three sub-basins, each characterized by distinct LU/LC patterns: native forest and exotic plantations. A comprehensive ...

This study addresses the persistent challenge of class imbalance in land use and land cover (LULC) classification within the Shihmen Reservoir watershed in Taiwan, where LULC is used to map the Cover Management factor (C-factor). The dominance of forests in the LULC categories leads to an imbalanced dataset, resulting in poor prediction performance...
