Preventing the off‐site effects of soil erosion is an essential part of good catchment
management. Most efforts are in the form of on‐site soil and water conservation measures …

This review summarizes the effects of vegetation on runoff and soil loss in three dimensions:
vertical vegetation structures (aboveground vegetation cover, surface litter layer and …

The biogeochemical cycles of carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are interlinked
by primary production, respiration and decomposition in terrestrial ecosystems. It has been …

Surface runoff and soil loss from 2007 to 2010 related to land use and rainfall regimes in
karst hill slopes in Guizhou Province, southwest China, were analyzed. Using the …

Most ecologists are not card-carrying members of either individualistic or interdependent
guilds, but our perception of plant community organization, and the way we conduct …

Soil erosion is a threat to food security, especially in regions where the area of arable land is
shrinking dramatically because of soil degradation. Research on soil erosion expanded …

The dynamics of vegetation‐driven spatial heterogeneity (VDSH) and its function in
structuring runoff and sediment fluxes have received increased attention from both …

A thorough knowledge of soil functionality is critical to successful restoration of disturbed
ecosystems, and its evaluation involves the assessment of soil properties and processes as …

A large-scale laboratory study was conducted to test the influence of design and operating
conditions on the lifespan of stormwater biofilters. The evolution of hydraulic conductivity …

Land degradation affects natural and cultivated socio-ecosystems worldwide. Soil erosion is
one of the main processes leading to land degradation, and the process is accelerated by …
