EVALUATION OF SOIL EROSION DYNAMICS IN THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA USING THE RUSLE MODEL AND VULNERABILITY INDICATOR MAPPING

Natural Resources and Sustainable Development
Soil erosion remains one of the most serious threats to sustainable agriculture in the Republic of Moldova, with vast areas of arable land increasingly affected by water-induced degradation.

Modeling Organic Agriculture Expansion in the EU: Assessing Productivity and Environmental Trade‐Offs

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
Expanding organic farming across the EU and UK could cut fertilizer use and improve some degraded soils, but comes with lower crop yields—driven largely by crop rotation shifts—and a modest decline in soil carbon. Increased use of nitrogen‐fixing cover crops could help maintain soil carbon and boost yields, but at the cost of greater nitrogen losses to

Analysis of Spatial and Temporal Evolution and Dynamic Driving Force of Soil Water Erosion in the Middle Reaches of the Yellow River in the Rich and Coarse Sediment Area

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao
[Objective] To reveal the spatial and temporal evolution characteristics of soil water erosion in the middle reaches of the Yellow River in the rich and coarse sediment area from 2000 to 2020, and analyze its dynamic driving force. [Methods] Based on the

Developing a simple soil erosion model including spatial variability in headwater catchments

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Hillslopes and stream channels are tightly linked in headwater catchments, where soil erosion on slopes is transported to channels depending on topography, soil properties, and ground cover conditions. Because these environments are highly spatially variable, geographic information system (GIS)‐based modeling approaches are effective for ...

Assessment of soil erosion in the Chambal River Basin, India using RUSLE model – implications for agricultural sustainability

Journal of Geospatial Science and Analytics
Soil erosion is the most concerning issue for agricultural sustainability by decreasing the soil quality. The soil erosion within the Chambal River Basin was assessed using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), satellite-derived datasets such

Test of the RUSLE and Key Influencing Factors Using GIS and Probability Methods: A Case Study in Nanling National Nature Reserve, South China

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2019
The main purposes of the study were to test the performance of the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) and to understand the key factors responsible for generating soil erosion in the Nanling National Nature Reserve (NNNR), South China, where ...

Anthropogenic control on sediment connectivity for soil resource management in sloping vineyards (Mercurey, France)

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
This paper explores how man‐made features influence soil loss and sediment connectivity in a French vineyard catchment. Despite high erosion rates, only a small fraction of the eroded sediment reaches the outlet. This highlights the effectiveness of winegrowers' strategy in disconnecting hillslopes from the sediment cascade.

Geomorphic Responses to Post‐Grazing Recovery and Stream Restoration in Semiarid Grassland Streams

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 1083-1098, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Semiarid grassland streams are sensitive to land use, climate, extreme discharges, and internal geomorphic thresholds that drive episodic erosion. Rooted in a process‐based philosophy and commonly applied to historically wood‐rich, beaver‐modified systems, low‐tech process‐based restoration using structures is increasingly being extended to ...

Evaluation of Sediment Connectivity Indices to Improve the Prediction of the Spatiotemporal Variability of Sediment Yield for a Large River Basin (Wei River, China)

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 8, Page 3406-3417, 15 May 2026.
ABSTRACT Sediment connectivity between source areas and the main streams or local sinks is a complex and dynamic process, especially in large basins due to multiple heterogeneities and interactions between connectivity components. Sediment connectivity indices are promising tools to investigate sediment transport, especially in data‐scarce or large ...

Impact of Soil Erosion on the Temporal and Spatial Dynamics of Organic Carbon in the Typical Black Soil Region of Northeast China

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao
[Objective] To investigate the response mechanism of temporal and spatial distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) loss to soil erosion intensity, in order to provide basic data for the study of soil carbon cycling mechanism under erosion environment ...
