Integrated approach of RUSLE, GIS and ESA Sentinel-2 satellite data for post-fire soil erosion assessment in Basilicata region (Southern Italy)

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2019
Fire effects consist not only in direct damage to the vegetation but also in the modification of both chemical and physical soil properties. Fire can affect the alteration of soil properties in different ways depending on fire severity and soil type. The

Impact of Road Network Development on the Spatiotemporal Soil Erosion in the Three‐River Source Region

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11207-11222, September 2026.
ABSTRACT As a vital water conservation region in China, the Three River Source Region (TRSR) plays a critical role in safeguarding regional ecological security and ensuring the sustainable utilization of water resources. In this study, the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) was employed to quantify soil erosion in the study area across three ...

Spatial–temporal evolution patterns of soil erosion in the Yellow River Basin from 1990 to 2015: impacts of natural factors and land use change

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2021
This study optimized the slope and slope length factor (LS) and crop management factor (P) of the RUSLE model and then introduced the gravity centre model to analyze the spatial–temporal variation patterns of soil erosion in Yellow River Basin from a new

Establishing Monthly Benchmarks for Erosion Control and Vegetation Restoration Targets Across the Loess Plateau

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11500-11515, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Establishing scientifically grounded soil erosion control targets and feasible vegetation restoration strategies is crucial for high quality development of the Chinese Loess Plateau which is severely affected by soil erosion. Currently, the commonly used tolerable soil loss (TSL) is inadequate for addressing the spatial heterogeneity in ...

Oasisification Yields Response‐Compensated Resilience in an Arid Endorheic Basin

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Rapid oasisification is widely pursued to strengthen regional livelihoods and ecological security in arid endorheic basins, yet it proceeds under mounting water scarcity and ecological trade‐offs. Whether such greening actually enhances ecosystem resilience—and through which components—remains unclear.

A Multiple Soil Threats Assessment for Europe by 2050

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 9937-9952, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT European soils are exposed to multiple interacting soil threats (STs), challenging the European Commission's objective of restoring healthy soils by 2050. This study provides the first integrated EU‐scale projection of four major soil threats—soil compaction, soil organic carbon loss, soil erosion and soil sealing—under two IPCC climate ...

Forest Landscape Changes and Ecological Restoration for Sustainable Land Systems

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10035-10052, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates forest landscape changes and ecological restoration in Sichuan Province, China, to assess their contribution to sustainable land systems under climate stress. A theory‐guided multistage framework was applied to link Landsat‐based change detection, landscape metrics, habitat quality assessment, soil‐retention analysis ...
