Soil, a non-renewable resource, sustains life on Earth by supporting around 95% of global
food production and providing ecosystem services such as biomass production, filtration of …

Soil water erosion on cultivated lands represents a severe threat to soil resources in the
world, and especially in Mediterranean areas, due to their topographic, edaphic and climatic …

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 …

Erosion is a major threat to soil resources in Europe, and may impair their ability to deliver a
range of ecosystem goods and services. This is reflected by the European Commission's …

The largest currently compiled database of plot runoff and soil loss data in Europe and the
Mediterranean was analysed to investigate effects of land use on annual soil loss (SL) …

The effects of soil and water conservation techniques (SWCTs) on annual runoff (Ra), runoff
coefficients (RCa) and annual soil loss (SLa) at the plot scale have been extensively tested …

Initiated by the need to quantify erosion rates and the impacts of global changes on erosion,
several attempts have been made to apply erosion models at regional scales. However …

Our study was conducted in the suburban forest of Thessaloniki (Seich Sou), which
constitutes one of the most significant suburban forests of Greece and is located northeast of …

Vineyard landscapes are a relevant part of the European culture, and several authors
concluded that they are the agricultural practice that causes the highest soil loss. Grape …

Soils play a key role in sha** the environment and in risk assessment. We characterized
the soils of bare agricultural plots using TerraSAR-X (9.5 GHz) data acquired in 2009 and …
