Policy implications of multiple concurrent soil erosion processes in European farmland
Soil erosion is a serious threat to soil functions leading to land productivity decline and
multiple off-site effects. Here we show, using a multi-model approach, the spatial risk of soil …

Evaluating the effects of changes in landscape structure on soil erosion by water and tillage
Landscape structure, or the spatial organization of different land units, has an impact on
erosion and sedimentation on agricultural land. However, current erosion models …

Effectiveness of stone bunds in controlling soil erosion on cropland in the Tigray Highlands, northern Ethiopia
Use of stone bunds to enhance soil and water conservation was first introduced to Tigray,
northern Ethiopia in 1981. This study was designed to examine the factors that control the …

How soil erosion and runoff are related to land use, topography and annual precipitation: Insights from a meta-analysis of erosion plots in China
We compiled an extensive database of erosion and runoff measurements on erosion plots
under natural rainfall in China. We used this database to analyse how soil loss by sheet and …
