Soil erosion is generally recognized as the dominant process of land degradation. The
formation and expansion of gullies is often a highly significant process of soil erosion …

This paper presents a global synopsis about the geomorphic evidence of soil erosion in
humid and semihumid areas since the beginning of agriculture. Historical documents …

Despite over a century of investigations into gullies and gully erosion, the characterization
and categorization of gullies and the varied definitions, nomenclatures and terminology …

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 …

Land degradation is recognized as a main environmental problem that adversely depletes
soil organic carbon (SOC) and nitrogen (SON) stocks, which in turn directly affects soils, their …

Gully erosion is an environmental problem recognized as one of the worst land degradation
processes worldwide. Insight into regional gully perturbations is required to combat the …

Collapsing gully erosion, a special erosion phenomenon in the hilly granitic regions, is an
important factor responsible for the deterioration of the ecological environment in southern …

Gully erosion is a worldwide matter of concern because of the irreversible losses of fertile
land, which often have severe environmental, economic and social consequences. While …

Multiple on‐site and off‐site effects of gully erosion threaten sustainable development, which
is especially evident in dryland environments. To control soil erosion by gullying, various soil …

Soil aggregate stability is a vital indicator of soil structure and potential degradation and is
essential to understand gully erosion in arid and semi-arid regions. Stability of soil …
