TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of small-scale portable rainfall simulators is presented for soil erosion and surface hydrology, showing that the performance of these simulators differ in design, rainfall intensities, rain spectra and research questions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method to estimate soil erosion risk in the semiarid Catamayo basin with limited data and found that the rainfall distribution and the erosivity along with the rugged topography, followed by the land cover (C-factor) are the most important factors to estimate the soil erosion risks.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show three examples of ecosystem evolution in abandoned fields in Valencia, Murcia and Andalucia and the application of different methodological approaches that resulted in similar findings.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used NIR spectroscopy to predict soil organic carbon (SOC) contents at local scale in eleven target sites, using eight spectral libraries of different sizes (ranging from 3482 to 36 samples) to construct national, provincial and local scale models.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of various organic amendments on select soil properties [soil organic carbon (SOC), pH, and electrical conductivity (EC)] over a 24-month period was investigated.
