The role of conservation soil management on soil and water protection at different spatial scales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Agriculture has a direct impact on the soil environment, altering soil properties, surface characteristics and erosion risk. This has led to a move away from conventional tillage to the adoption of conservation practices, aiming to minimise soil ...

A method to detect soil carbon degradation during soil erosion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Soil erosion has been discussed intensively but controversial both as a significant source or a significant sink of atmospheric carbon possibly explaining the gap in the global carbon budget.

Optimising soil disturbance and mulch attenuation for erosion and runoff control in asparagus crops [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Exposure of bare soil for long periods and onsite compaction create soil and water problems in asparagus production. This project aims to develop a cost effective and practical runoff and soil erosion management system.

Process identification of soil erosion in steep mountain regions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Mountainous soil erosion processes were investigated in the Urseren Valley (Central Switzerland) by means of measurements and simulations. The quantification of soil erosion was performed on hill slope scale (2 center dot 20 m) for three different land ...

Impact of live barriers on soil erosion in the Pairumani sub-catchment, Bolivia. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Process-based soil erosion models, such as the European Soil Erosion Model (EUROSEM), have the potential for the extrapolation to the catchment scale of plot scale investigations into the effectiveness of soil conservation practices.
