Suspended sediment is a natural part of river systems and plays an essential role in
structuring the landscape, creating ecological habitats and transporting nutrients. It is also a …

Over the last century extraordinary efforts have been devoted to determining soil erosion
rates (in units of mass per area and time) under a large range of climatic conditions and land …

Soil pollution is a key component of the land degradation process, but little is known about
the impact of soil pollution on human health in the urban environment. The heavy metals Pb …

A plenty of models exist for study of the soil erosion and sediment yield processes. However,
these models vary significantly in terms of their capability and complexity, input …

Assessments of the implications of soil erosion require quantification of soil erosion rates
(SE) and sediment yield (SSY) at regional scales under present and future climate and land …

Intense erosion processes are widespread in the Mediterranean region, and include sheet
