Soil erosion is generally recognized as the dominant process of land degradation. The
formation and expansion of gullies is often a highly significant process of soil erosion …

Gully erosion has important on and off site effects. Therefore, several studies have been
conducted over the past decades to quantify gully headcut retreat (GHR) in different …

Living plant roots modify both mechanical and hydrological characteristics of the soil matrix
(eg soil aggregate stability by root exudates, soil cohesion, infiltration rate, soil moisture …

Bio-engineered slopes use vegetation as “live” protection elements against the triggering
forces of landslides, erosions and debris flows. In this paper, the effects of basic plant traits …

Landslide dams pose enormous risks to the public because of the potentially catastrophic
floods generated by breaching of such dams. The need to better understand the threats of …

This book integrates the physical processes of dam breaching and the mathematical aspects
of risk assessment in a concise manner• The first book that introduces the causes, processes …

Marsh vegetation, a definitive component of delta ecosystems, has a strong effect on
sediment retention and land-building, controlling both how much sediment can be delivered …

Plant roots can be very effective in stabilizing the soil against concentrated flow erosion. So
far, most research on the erosion-reducing potential of plant roots was conducted on loamy …

How microbial communities respond to soil aggregation and rill erosion resistance has
rarely been addressed. Such a knowledge gap hinders the practice of guiding sustainable …

Quantifying the impacts of climate and human activities on water and sediment discharge
has become a central topic in climate and hydrologic research. This issue, however, has so …
