Precise sediment flux assessment of a small ungauged low-mountain catchment in the North Caucasus Open
Soil erosion and sediment export from hillslopes are significant problems associated with agriculture, especially in parts of the world where society is already living in extreme environments. In particular, mountainous environments remain…

A conceptual-model-based sediment connectivity assessment for patchy agricultural catchments Open
The accelerated sediment supply from agricultural soils to riverine and lacustrine environments leads to negative off-site consequences. In particular, the sediment connectivity from agricultural land to surface waters is strongly affected…

Occurrence and erosion susceptibility of German Pelosols and international equivalents Open
Background Pelosols are the Soil of the Year 2022 in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. They represent soils with a high clay content (≥45%) in the diagnostic P horizon. Pelosols are nutrient‐rich, have a strong capacity for swelling and sh…

Catchment-scale patterns of biogeomorphic interaction in an alpine glacier foreland Open
<p>The interaction between abiotic and biotic development in glacier forelands depends on species traits and the frequency and magnitude of geomorphic events as shown on plot-scale studies. However, upscaling of biogeomorphic interac…

Comparison of the Spatial Wind Erosion Patterns of Erosion Risk Mapping and Quantitative Modeling in Eastern Austria Open
Various large-scale risk maps show that the eastern part of Austria, in particular the Pannonian Basin, is one of the regions in Europe most vulnerable to wind erosion. However, comprehensive assessments of the severity and the extent of w…

Ecosystem services of tree windbreaks in rural landscapes—a systematic review Open
Windbreaks are key structural elements in the rural environment and affect the functionality of landscapes in multiple ways. A broad interdisciplinary view on these functions lacks in scientific literature and common knowledge. This led to…
