Soils are at the crossroads of many existential issues that humanity is currently facing. Soils
are a finite resource that is under threat, mainly due to human pressure. There is an urgent …

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors are often used to characterize the surface of bare
soils in agricultural environments. They enable the soil moisture and roughness to be …

Soil Erosion and Conservation provides a comprehensive treatment of the processes of soil
erosion, the methods that can be used for their control, and the issues involved in designing …

An extensive database of short to medium-term erosion rates as measured on erosion plots
in Europe under natural rainfall was compiled from the literature. Statistical analysis …

Land surface cover affects runoff generation and soil loss processes. Splash erosion occurs
by the impact of raindrops on the soil surface. As a result of this process, raindrops detach …

Extensive soil surface observations and measurements were conducted in Normandy on
loess soils prone to surface crusting in order to understand the spatial distribution and …

We examined the effects of forest floor coverage on overland flow generation and soil
erosion in mature Japanese cypress plantations with different coverage conditions: sparse …

Global climate and land use changes could strongly affect soil erosion and the capability of
soils to sustain agriculture and in turn impact regional or global food security. The objective …

Mulching a soil has long been considered an effective way of reducing soil and water losses
as compared to an un-mulched soil. However, under certain conditions of extreme rainfalls …

This paper gives a brief synthesis of the information obtainable from remote-sensing data
and how it can be related to two significant functions of catchment hydrology, namely, the …
