Comparison of machine learning models for gully erosion susceptibility mapping
Geoscience Frontiers, 2020 Gully erosion is a disruptive phenomenon which extensively affects the Iranian territory, especially in the Northern provinces. A number of studies have been recently undertaken to study this process and to predict it over space and ultimately, in a ...

Estimating Land Degradation Level Using Remote Sensing Data and Fuzzy AHP Technique
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Land degradation is a critical global environmental concern that significantly impacts ecosystem services, agricultural productivity, weather patterns, human livelihoods and overall well‐being. Prompt and precise assessments of land degradation status are crucial for environmental governance and sustainable development. Remote sensing data can

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Subalpine meadows play important roles in biodiversity conservation and soil carbon sequestration, but gully erosion poses a serious threat to their ecological stability. Soil shear strength (τ) is a key mechanical parameter for evaluating gully stability and soil resistance to failure. However, the spatial variation in soil shear strength and

Reconstructing long-term gully dynamics in Mediterranean agricultural areas [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2017 Gully erosion is an important erosive process in Mediterranean basins. However, the long-term dynamics of gully networks and the variations in sediment production in gullies are not well known. Available studies are often conducted only over a few years,

Initial colonization by bryophytes and ferns during primary succession on Nishinoshima, Japan
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Volcanic islands that have experienced complete vegetation loss following recent eruptions provide rare opportunities to observe the earliest stages of ecosystem recovery. Nishinoshima, an oceanic island located approximately 1000 km south of mainland Japan, underwent major volcanic activity between 2013 and 2020, eradicating all pre‐existing ...

Economics of Gully Erosion Stabilization [PDF]
, 2018 Rainfall intensity is increasing in the Northeastern U.S. Stabilizing gullies is one strategy for adapting to this changing climate. This case study evaluates the costs and benefits of restoring gullies at Last Resort Farm.

A Generic Approach to Creating a National Soil Security Strategy
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Soil is a living and non‐renewable resource that underpins our very existence. It produces our food, filters our water, stores vast amounts of carbon, cycles essential nutrients, and sustains the rich tapestry of biodiversity on which our planet depends.
