Ephemeral gullies. A spatial and temporal analysis of their characteristics, importance and prediction
Ephemeral gully erosion is a significant water erosion process, accounting for c. 50% of the total sediment production in agricultural catchments in the Belgian loess belt. Yet, during the last decades most soil erosion research has mainly focused on standard runoff plots. As a consequence, interrill and rill erosion were intensively studied, while little attention was paid to soil erosion processes operating at larger spatial units such as for instance ephemeral gullying. This study, therefore, aimed at:1) describing spatial and temporal variations in ephemeral gully characteristics, in three... Mehr ...
