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 …

The remarkable complexity of soil and its importance to a wide range of ecosystem services
presents major challenges to the modeling of soil processes. Although major progress in soil …

In this paper, we reflect on the implications for science, policy and practice of the recently
introduced concept of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS), with a focus on the European context …

Soil erosion is a geomorphological and, at the same time, a land degradation process that
may cause environmental and property damage, loss of livelihoods and services as well as …

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 …

Global change has been accompanied by recent increases in the frequency and intensity of
various ecological disturbances (eg, fires, floods, cyclones), both natural and anthropogenic …

Several Andean countries have planned to restore forest cover in degraded land to enhance
the provision of multiple ecosystem services in response to international commitments such …

Abstract Slope Stability Models (SSMs) are valuable tools used as decision support in land
management to mitigate catastrophic effects caused by rainfall-induced shallow landslides …

Nature-based solutions (NBS) are being promoted as adaptive measures against predicted
increasing hydrometeorological hazards (HMHs), such as heatwaves and floods which have …

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 …
