Quantifying hillslope erosion and sediment connectivity in the Rogativa catchment, Southeast Spain Open
Soil erosion is a process accelerated by natural and anthropogenic disturbances over time and space, leading to land degradation and causing geomorphological change. It is difficult to investigate the spatial and temporal distribution of s…
View article: Assessing the hillslope-channel contributions to the catchment sediment balance under climate change
Assessing the hillslope-channel contributions to the catchment sediment balance under climate change Open
Previous research suggests that channels have a significant contribution to the total sediment balance in large catchments. Channels are also very sensitive to changes in land use and management, with implications for channel morphodynamic…
