Active gully systems developed on highly weathered or loose parent material are an important source of runoff and sediment production in degraded areas. However, a decrease of land pressure may lead to a return of a partial ...

Areas degraded by construction of gullies require adoption of conservation practices designed to restore and achieve their recovery. Accordingly, this work aims to present and analyse the results of a partnership between ...

Gully erosion is an important process of land degradation in mountainous regions, and is known to be one of the major sediment sources in eroded catchments. Recent studies have suggested that living and dead vegetation ...

Soil is an essential natural resource for food production, which is directly affected for this degradation, whereby erosion is one of the main associated causes, which quantification are still being studied, due to the ...

Spatial planning is essential to make the transition to a green economy. Among the various elements related to this theme, soil stands out for its social, environmental, and economic importance. For example, it is essential ...

Water erosion is one of the main factors of soil degradation, causing several environmental damages. The most severe stage of water erosion culminates in the emergence of gullies, which increases soil loss and sediment ...
