Impact of mechanisation on soil loss in terraced vineyard landscapes
Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2019 Soil loss poses a threat to hilly and mountainous areas, particularly where local economies strongly depend on agricultural production. Among agricultural landscapes, vineyards are responsible for the highest erosion rates, particularly in steep-slope ...

Remote Sensing Analysis In RUSLE Erosion Estimation
, 2018 Soil erosion is a major issue in various hemispheres. It is because erosion affects the survival of ecosystem. Diverse human actions, e.g., bushes burning and illegal logging, play a role in accelerating erosion. Climate factor such as rain intensity has also an influence in the release of soil particles.
