Soils constitute one of the most critical natural resources and maintaining their health is vital
for agricultural development and ecological sustainability, providing many essential …

Indices of connectivity are critical means for moving from qualitative to (semi-) quantitative
evaluations of material (eg, water, sediment and nutrients) transfer across the building …

The effects of human activity on geomorphic processes, particularly those related to
denudation/sedimentation, are investigated by reviewing case studies and global …

Understanding the evolution of sediment connectivity associated with different land use and
topographic changes is a prerequisite for a better understanding of sediment budgets and …

Land abandonment in the Mediterranean mountains since the 20th century has led to a
reduction of ecosystem services, due to revegetation and homogenization of the landscape …

Major advances continue to be made in development and application of the connectivity
concept as a framework for analysis of runoff and sediment fluxes in catchments and …

Several decades of intensive rainfed farming in Mediterranean mountains and later land
abandonment has led to rapid land use and land cover changes. During recent centuries …

Soil erosion and fine particle transport are two of the major challenges in food security and
water quality for the growing global population. Information of the areas prone to erosion is …

Soil erosion by water is a major cause of land degradation. Agricultural practices and many
other ecological environmental problems contribute to land degradation worldwide …

Abstract The management of Mediterranean Agroecosystems is crucial to prevent or mitigate
