A comparative study of soil erosion modelling by MMF, USLE and RUSLE
AbstractThe quantitative assessment of spatial soil erosion is valuable information to control the erosion. The study area in a part of Narmada river in central India is selected. The main objective is to assess and compare the results obtained from three soil erosion models using GIS platform.

Soil Erosion Estimation of Kunthippuzha Watershed Using GIS and RUSLE Model
Soil erosion is an environmental crisis in the world today that threatens the natural environment and also agriculture. Erosion removes the top fertile soil, degrades soil fertility, water quality and soil productivity. The soil erosion risk assessment is helpful for land evaluation in the regions where soil erosion is a major threat for sustainable ...

ABSTRACT Ensuring the long‐term erosional stability of post‐mining landforms remains a major challenge in open‐pit mining. Reconstructed landscapes must support the agreed post‐mining land use, such as cattle grazing in the Hunter region of southeastern Australia, requiring stable pasture and minimal soil loss.

A Multiple Soil Threats Assessment for Europe by 2050
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
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 ...

Climate change is projected to intensify soil erosion in the Chalakkudy River Basin, with bare lands and steep uplands emerging as the most vulnerable hotspots under high‐emission scenarios. Forested areas showed greater resistance to soil erosion, highlighting the importance of targeted soil conservation for sustainable watershed management in ...

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 ...

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