TLDR
In this article, the authors analyzed a dataset of 18 rainfall events including runoff and erosion data from fields of approximately 1200 m2 and 3200 m2 consisting of vineyards with two contrasting weeding practices, either superficial tillage or no-tillage with chemical weeding, from the outlet of a 0.91 km2 catchment that was 70% vineyard.About:

The immediate effectiveness of barley straw mulch in reducing soil erodibility and surface runoff generation in Mediterranean vineyards
TL;DR: Straw mulch is very effective in reducing soil erodibility and surface runoff, and this benefit was achieved immediately after the application of the straw.

Soil water erosion on Mediterranean vineyards: A review
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a documented database on splash, sheet and rill erosion rates in Mediterranean vineyards, identifying and, if possible, quantifying the effect of triggering factors such as topography, soil properties, rainfall characteristics and soil conservation techniques on soil water erosion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mulching practices for reducing soil water erosion: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a documented and global database on the use of mulching with vegetative residues, and evaluated the effects of different types of mulches on soil and water losses based on different measurement methods.

Scale issues in hydrological modelling: A review
TL;DR: A framework is provided for scaling and scale issues in hydrology and a more holistic perspective dealing with dimensional analysis and similarity concepts is addressed, which deals with complex processes in a much simpler fashion.

The sediment delivery problem
TL;DR: In this paper, the limitations of the sediment delivery ratio concept by considering the problems of temporal and spatial lumping and its blackbox nature are reviewed, and the significance of recent concern for the role of sediments in the transport of nutrients and contaminants to sediment delivery studies is introduced.

A multicriteria climatic classification system for grape-growing regions worldwide
Jorge Tonietto,Alain Carbonneau +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, three synthetic and complementary viticultural climatic indices (potential water balance of the soil, heliothermal conditions over the growing cycle, and night temperature during maturation) validated as descriptors, are used: dryness index (DI), which corresponds to the potential water balance, and cool night index (CI), an index developed as an indicator of night temperature conditions during maturity.
