Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.Erosion rates were quantified using field methods (137Cs, sediment loading) and two landform evolution models (LEMs), SIBERIA and SSSPAM, on a grazed catchment analogous to nearby mining sites, filling the gap in field data comparisons. Model estimates aligned with field data, demonstrating both LEMs' predictive potential for erosion in grazed ...

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Decreasing reservoir storage capacity due to sedimentation poses great challenges to aging U.S. reservoirs, as it reduces the efficacy and reliability of their socio‐economic services. However, systematic assessments of reservoir sedimentation rates and associated issues remain limited because of sparse and infrequent bathymetry survey data ...

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract China faces significant spatial mismatches between steeply sloped cropland and gently sloped forest and orchard land. Optimizing the spatial distribution of cropland is critical for food security and ecological conservation in China, where cropland resources are scarce.

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao[Objective] Soil erosion is a prominent ecological problem in southwestern Hubei Province. A reasonable assessment of the vulnerability of soil erosion in this area and exploration of its driving mechanisms are prerequisites for effective soil and water ...

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

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

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

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 ...

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.
