  • Soil Erosion and Conservation

    Open AccessTom VanwalleghemCHAPTERInternational Encyclopedia of…2017

    Soil erosion is the detachment, transportation, and deposition of soil particles. Natural erosion is generally slow, keeping pace with soil formation rates. However, human‐induced land use change results in much faster net erosion rates, of the order of 1 mm year −1 under conventional agriculture. Accelerated erosion on agricultural land is mainly due to water and tillage. Soil conservation is the practice of minimizing soil loss while maximizing…

  • Erosion in the Mediterranean: The Case of Olive Groves in the South of Spain (1752–2000)

    Juan Infante-Amate, Juan Infante Amate et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental History2013Cited by: 4References: 6

    Despite the key role that soil and its management have played in the sustainability of farming societies, few historical studies have been carried out on erosion and its effects. In Mediterranean agriculture, erosion from olive cultivation is currently one of the region's main environmental problems. This essay develops a case study from southern Spain to quantify soil loss in olive groves over three centuries, using empirical data and model anal…

  • Prehistoric and Roman gullying in the European oess belt: A case study from central Belgium

    Open AccessTom Vanwalleghem, H R Bork et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2006Cited by: 9References: 1

    In contrast with the understanding of present-day soil erosion processes, knowledge on past soil erosion phenomena is still rather limited. Although some studies report on severe gully erosion phases during the fourteenth and eighteenth centuries, almost no evidence is available that documents earlier gully erosion phases. This study investigates the development and age of two old, permanent gullies that are conserved in the ancient Meerdaal fore…

  • Reconstructing rainfall and land-use conditions leading to the development of old gullies

    Open AccessTom Vanwalleghem, Jean Poesen et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2005References: 1

    Knowledge of past erosion events and their controlling factors is an important key to understanding the impacts of environmental change (climate-land use) on the landscape. In this study, knowledge about erosion processes on the development of present-day ephemeral gullies is used for reconstructing conditions leading to the formation of old, permanent gullies. Empirical relations between flow hydraulics and channel geometry have been recently es…
