TL;DR: An approach based on DNA metabarcoding used on lake sediments to provide the first high-resolution reconstruction of plant cover and livestock farming history since the Neolithic Period shows that the most intense erosion period was caused by deforestation and overgrazing by sheep and cowherds during the Late Iron Age and Roman Period.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors employed a theoretical analysis of the mechanisms of buffering effect and the specific behaviour of phosphorus in typical grass buffer strips to determine if the available scientific literature justifies the continued recommendation of this approach in the prevention of phosphorus movement from agricultural soils to surface waters.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of land use (burning and tillage) on soil hydrodynamic properties, rainfall simulation was conducted at two different sites at Pichincha near Quito, and El Angel, in northern Ecuador, comparing natural, tilled and burned plots.

TL;DR: In this article, two well-dated ca Holocene-long sedimentary sequences from deepest parts of Lake Bourget provide new insights onto the evolution of erosion patterns at a regional scale in NW European Alps.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the effect of overgrazing on vegetation and soil properties in the paramo ecosystem of the northern Andes and found that intensive sheep grazing has led to a strong decline in the number of plant species, the replacement of the tussock grass vegetation by a short carpet grass vegetation, and an increase of bare land.
