Agriculture

Agriculture is the leading cause of soil erosion on the Earth. Soil erosion is triggered by tillage, herbicide abuse, and compaction in Mediterranean orchards.

Forest Fires

Forest fires remove the plant and litter cover, increase the ash cover and induce high erosion rates.  But the vegetation recovers and ash disappear. The temporal and spatial changes in the soil erosion rates after forest fires are a critical scientific issue

Soil Erosion Control

There is a need to restore the soil properties and functions, and for this, we need to find the proper management to avoid non-sustainable soil erosion rates.

Road and Railway embankments

The highest soil erosion rates are usually found in road and railways embankments. Assessment and restoration and rehabilitation are challenges.
