Modification of terrestrial sediment fluxes can result in increased sedimentation and turbidity
in receiving waters, with detrimental impacts on coral reef ecosystems. Preventing …

Ecologists are increasingly discovering that ecological processes are made up of
components that are multi‐scaled in space and time. Some of the most complex of these …

Coupling vegetation cover pattern with soil erosion and runoff generation positions a multi-
discipline hotspot. Due to the widely occurred patchy vegetation cover and water-limited …

Context Humans structure landscapes for the production of food, fibre and fuel, commonly
resulting in declines of non-provisioning ecosystem services (ESs). Heterogeneous …

Understanding integrated hydrological phenomena in catchments is difficult because of the
fragmented nature of soil physical and hydrological data, given these are typically derived …

Theoretical models predict that drylands can cross critical thresholds, but experimental
manipulations to evaluate them are non‐existent. We used a long‐term (13‐year) pulse …

State‐and‐transition models (STMs) synthesize and communicate knowledge about the
alternative states of an ecosystem and causes of state transitions. Data supported narrative …

Although sustainable land management (SLM) is widely promoted to prevent and mitigate
land degradation and desertification, its monitoring and assessment (M&A) has received …

Vegetation effectively prevents soil erosion. However the relationship between plant
diversity and soil erosion remains ambiguous under various environmental conditions. To …

This paper examines the state of knowledge about the effects of prescribed burning on
surface runoff and erosion at point to catchment scales in forests and shrublands. Fires can …
