The EU Commission is preparing a proposal for a Soil Framework Directive with the purpose
of protecting the soil resources in Europe. The proposal identifies six major threats to the …

Rainfall erosivity, considering rainfall amount and intensity, is an important parameter for soil
erosion risk assessment under future land use and climate change. Despite its importance …

This study investigates potential changes in erosion rates in the Midwestern United States
under climate change, including the adaptation of crop management to climate change …

The cultivation of row crops on mountainous farmland can generate severe soil erosion due
to low ground cover, especially in the early growth stages. Organic farming, due to the …

Rainfall erosivity is a major causal factor of soil erosion, and it is included in many prediction
models. Maps of rainfall erosivity indices are required for assessing soil erosion at the …

Rainfall erosivity is one of the key parameters influencing the degree of soil erosion. Due to
the high spatiotemporal variability of rainfall erosivity and the influence of a changing climate …

One major controlling factor of water erosion is rainfall erosivity, which is quantified as the
product of total storm energy and a maximum 30 min intensity (I 30). Rainfall erosivity is …

Water resources and soil erosion are the most important environmental concerns in the
Yangtze River basin, where soil erosion and sediment yield are closely related to rainfall …

Soil erosion is time compressed into a number of episodic erosive rainfall events with an
associated potential to detach and transport soil particles (rainfall erosivity), each …

Erosive storm energy is the primary driver of soil detachment, and hence a major
determinant of transfer of sediment and particulate phosphorus (P) to surface waters …
