Agricultural terraces are common in mountain regions. They are built to provide a larger
surface area for cultivation on hillslopes and to aid farming production in the long term. This …

Paired catchment studies have been widely used as a means of determining the magnitude
of water yield changes resulting from changes in vegetation. This review focuses on the use …

Farmland abandonment is a major problem in parts of Europe, particularly in mountain
areas and semiarid environments. In such places, farmland abandonment represents a …

The soil water content is recognized as one of many runoff controlling factors in semiarid
environments. A simple, physically based distributed model has been developed to study …

Traditional cultivation terraces are one of the most ancient and conspicuous agricultural
landscapes in mountain and hilly regions of the Mediterranean basin. Spreading out from …

Based on four decades of research by Professor Andrew Goudie, this volume provides a
state-of-the-art synthesis of our understanding of desert geomorphology. It presents a truly …

Three small catchments (< 2.5 km2 in size) were monitored in the Central Spanish Pyrenees
to analyse the hydrological and geomorphological consequences of different land covers …

The relationships between precipitation, vegetation and erosion are important yet
unresolved issues in the field of earth surface processes. Vegetation plays an important role …

The storage and release of water in soils is critical for sustaining plant transpiration and
groundwater recharge. However, how much subsurface mixing of water occurs, and how …

Understanding the historical context of rainfall erosivity enhances comprehension of climate
and environmental changes, guiding strategies to address global environmental challenges …
