Accelerated soil erosion and sedimentation associated with agricultural activity in crater-lake catchments of Western Uganda Universiteit Gent
Tracing hotspots of soil erosion in high mountain environments : how forensic science based on plant eDNA can lead the way : an opinion Universiteit Gent
Drivers of increased soil erosion in East AfricaU+2019s agro-pastoral systems : changing interactions between the social, economic and natural domains Universiteit Gent
Impact of soil erosion associated factors on available feed resources for free-ranging cattle at three altitude regions: measurements and perceptions Universiteit Gent
Integrated multiscale assessment of soil erosion and its control in Rwanda Universiteit Gent
Rwanda, land of 1000 hills, is threatened by soil erosion. Large part of the agricultural land has been terraced, while biological and agronomic soil conservation is less extensively promoted. In this research, we gained insight in farmers’ perceptions on the erosion process and soil conservation strategies, and confronted this with in-depth research quantifying rainfall erosivity and soil erodibility, assessing the effectiveness of terracing in ...
Soil erosion modelling : a global review and statistical analysis Universiteit Gent
To gain a better understanding of the global application of soil erosion prediction models, we comprehensively reviewed relevant peer-reviewed research literature on soil-erosion modelling published between 1994 and 2017. We aimed to identify (i) the processes and models most frequently addressed in the literature, (ii) the regions within which models are primarily applied, (iii) the regions which remain unaddressed and why, and (iv) how ...
More than biofuel? Jatropha curcas root system symmetry and potential for soil erosion control Universiteit Gent KU Leuven
One of the reasons why Jatropha curcas has recently been hailed as one of the world s most sustainable biofuel crops is its suitability to grow on arid land where it offers the additional benefit of erosion control As arid lands are often very vulnerable to land use changes it is nevertheless important to fully understand (belowground) plant functional and structural development before they are planted at large scale Here we introduce possible ...
