Assessing Soil Vulnerability to Water Erosion Under Dam Releases Using a Multi-Criteria Approach: Case of the Sidi Aich Basin, Southwestern Tunisia

Soil Systems
Soil erosion is a significant environmental concern in arid regions, particularly in dam-regulated watersheds, where intermittent flows from sprinkler irrigation can exacerbate land degradation. This study assesses soil erosion susceptibility in the Sidi

Heterogeneity and Controlling Mechanisms of Soil Organic Carbon Stocks Across Erosion Zones in China Under Future Climate Scenarios

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11061-11076, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil organic carbon (SOC), as a key indicator of global carbon cycling and climate change response, plays a critical role in regional ecological security and agricultural sustainability. This study employs three machine learning models including the LightGBM, XGBoost, and random forest to simulate the spatial distribution of topsoil SOC stocks

Exploring soil erosion and reservoir sedimentation through the RUSLE model and bathymetric survey

International Soil and Water Conservation Research
The aim of the paper was to compare the soil erosion in a river catchment with the sediment volume accumulated at the river mouth. Firstly, the sediment yield was estimated in GIS based on the soil loss according to the RUSLE model, and then further ...

Assessing Soil Erosion in a Typical Karst Region: A Model Improved by Bedrock Exposure Rate in Guizhou Province

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11112-11125, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion is a major environmental challenge in karst regions of Southwest China, where thin soils and high bedrock exposure accelerate land degradation. This study modified the RUSLE model by incorporating bedrock exposure rate to improve erosion simulation in Guizhou Province from 2000 to 2024.

ORUSCAL: RUSLE calculator for orchards [PDF]

, 2020
ORUSCAL (Orchard RUsle CALibration), is an Excel too built to allow the calibration of RUSLE2 by assuming the simplified situation of a hillslope with a regular slope profile for tree crops such as vines, olives or almonds.

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 ...

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.
