Soil erosion is a serious ecological and environmental problem, and the main cause of land
degradation in many ecosystems at global scale. Detachment of soil particles by raindrop …

Several Andean countries have planned to restore forest cover in degraded land to enhance
the provision of multiple ecosystem services in response to international commitments such …

Land conversion affects the delivery of ecosystem goods and services. In this study, we used
a 50 years time series of land cover maps to assess the potential impacts of forest cover …

Human induced soil erosion reduces soil productivity; compromises freshwater ecosystem
services, and drives geomorphic and ecological change in rivers and their floodplains. The …

Erosion dynamics in semiarid environments is defined by high magnitude, low frequency
rainfalls that produce runoff with high sediment concentration. Check dams are widely used …

Check dams can be used as a source of information for studies on sediment characteristics
and soil particle erodibility. In this study, sediment yield and grain size distribution (GSD) …

High-elevation grasslands worldwide provide essential hydrological services including
water provision, flow regulation, and erosion control. Despite their importance, hydrological …

Landscapes are being degraded and simplified across the globe. This book explores how
forest restoration might be carried out to increase landscape heterogeneity, improve …

Assessing regional sediment yield variation and their responses to the potential controlling
factors are critical to develop specific strategies of soil conservation measures to adapt to …

Among the different controls of erosion budget at basin level, the relative impact of dams and
land management is yet to be investigated. In this paper, the impact of dams on sediment …
