A review of the magnitude and response times for sediment yield reductions following the rehabilitation of gullied landscapes

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 45, Issue 13, Page 3250-3279, October 2020., 2020
We review the global literature, quantitatively assessing the effectiveness of gully remediation measures. The 37 available studies demonstrate sediment yield reductions of 12–94% following gully rehabilitation. The timeframes associated with these reductions vary between 2 and 80 years. No environmental factor could be identified that clearly explains
