Quantifying the Role of Vegetation in Reducing Erosion on Post‐Mining Landforms: An Experimental Approach

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For post‐mining landscapes, erosion rates need to be demonstrably similar to that of the surrounding areas. Post‐mining landscapes are assessed (usually with a numerical model) to determine their erosion potential both in the pre‐ and post‐construction phases. Field plots, which rely on natural rainfall, provide the most reliable data; however,

Sedimentological characterization of Antarctic moraines using UAVs and Structure-from-Motion photogrammetry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In glacial environments particle-size analysis of moraines provides insights into clast origin, transport history, depositional mechanism and processes of reworking.

Linking Relationship of Ecosystem Service Supply and Demand Into Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ecosystem services (ES) play a crucial role in sustainable development. We systematically assessed the spatial and temporal dynamics of ecosystem service supply (ES‐s) and demand (ES‐d) in China from 1990 to 2020 by using a supply–demand matrix integrated with land use/cover data. The findings indicate that in 2020, grasslands accounted for 28.

Comparison of Gully Erosion Susceptibility Mapping Using Weight of Evidence and Frequency Ratio Models at Sanganeh Kalat Basin

open access: yesتحقيقات جغرافيايی, 2018
Gully erosion is the most advanced type of water erosion in watersheds that produces large volumes of sediment that and cause a lot of damage. Thus mapping susceptibility to gully erosion and identification of factors can help managers and decision ...

Modeling Soil Erosion Susceptibility Using Machine Learning Techniques: Rud‐e‐Faryab Basin, Iran

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion poses a significant threat to water and soil resources, affecting agricultural productivity, infrastructure, and environmental stability. This study models erosion susceptibility in the Rud‐e‐Faryab basin (Bushehr province, Iran) using the BIOMOD‐2 package in R (an ensemble of 10 machine learning algorithms) applied to 10 ...
