TL;DR: In this paper, two new definitions of sediment and water flux connectivity (from source through slopes to channels/sinks) with examples of applications to sediment fluxes are presented, and two indices of connectivity are operatively defined, one (IC) that can be calculated in a GIS environment and represents a connectivity assessment based on landscape's information, and another (FIC) can be evaluated in the field through direct assessment.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the predictability of the soil erodibility factor (K) in the revised universal soil loss equation from soil clay content (C), the Naperian logarithm of the geometric mean particle size (D G ) and organic matter content (OM), using a global dataset compiled from published studies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated four metrics to define the spatially variable (regionalised) hillslope sediment delivery ratio (HSDR) in a catchment model that accounts for gully and streambank erosion and floodplain deposition.

TL;DR: The first evidence of a strong climate effect on soil erodibility is shown by the seasonal variation of mean monthly soil erodic (Km) using data collected in the USA and Italy, where the effect of average mean monthly air temperature on Km could be identified as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of >590 scientific articles and policy documents is presented to assess and simulate gully erosion and its impacts at regional to continental scales, and a series of recommendations for further research and policy development are provided.
