Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of soil properties on the aggregation of some Mediterranean soils and the use of aggregate size and stability as land degradation indicators
TL;DR: In this paper, the aggregate size distribution, the macro and microaggregate stability of the superficial soil horizon and their relations with other soil properties were analyzed along a climatological transect in the Southeast of Spain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting soil erosion and sediment yield at regional scales: Where do we stand?
Joris de Vente,Jean Poesen,Gert Verstraeten,Gerard Govers,Matthias Vanmaercke,Matthias Vanmaercke,Anton Van Rompaey,Mahmood Arabkhedri,Carolina Boix-Fayos +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate 14 models based on 32 published studies and over 700 selected catchments and find that most accurate predictions of suspended sediment yield are obtained by nonlinear regression models like BQART, WBMsed, or Pelletier's model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of check dams, reforestation and land-use changes on river channel morphology: Case study of the Rogativa catchment (Murcia, Spain)
TL;DR: In this paper, the first author was financially supported by an I3P postdoc contract CSIC-CE and a Ramon y Cajal contract from the Education and Science Ministry (Spain).
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring soil erosion by field plots: understanding the sources of variation
Carolina Boix-Fayos,María Martínez-Mena,Eva Arnau-Rosalen,Adolfo Calvo-Cases,Victor Castillo,Juan Albaladejo +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of the advantages and limitations of the use of field plots to measure soil erosion; and the potential sources of variation in the results obtained due to a lack of harmony between methodological conditions and the processes operating in the environment at different scales.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of runoff generation and soil erosion across scales in semiarid south-eastern Spain
Y. Cantón,Albert Solé-Benet,J. de Vente,Carolina Boix-Fayos,Adolfo Calvo-Cases,Carlos Asensio,Juan Puigdefábregas +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the methods and data describing runoff generation and water erosion, synthesising the key processes involved, rates, thresholds and controlling factors from a scale-dependent perspective, identifying the major gaps in current knowledge to provide recommendations for further research towards solutions that reduce the negative impacts of erosion.
