TL;DR: The role of soil erosion in terrestrial carbon sequestration and release remains one of the most important uncertainties in our attempts to determine the potential of soils to mediate climate change as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed different rainfall interpolation schemes with regard to their suitability to produce spatial rainfall estimates in a monsoon dominated region with scarce rainfall measurements and found that the choice of the covariate had a significant impact on precipitation and runoff amounts, as well as on the temporal course of runoff events.

TL;DR: A long-term landscape experiment performed in four watersheds indicated a high potential of GWWs for reducing runoff volume and velocity, sediments, and agrochemicals coming from agricultural watersheds.

TL;DR: This database intends to support the upcoming country-based United Nations global soil-erosion assessment in addition to helping to inform soil erosion research priorities by building a foundation for future targeted, in-depth analyses.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed spatio-temporal soil moisture patterns acquired across a variety of land use types, on different spatial scales (plot to meso-scale catchment) and with different methods (point measurements, remote sensing, and modeling).
