In Mediterranean areas the dynamics of gully development act as an important indicator desertification. However, little is known about influence climate and land-use changes, almost no field data exist to assess sensitivity a landscape erosion. Two components erosion studies are prediction where gullies begin they end. To address some these issues, topographical thresholds for initiation sedimentation in six different study were established. Field measurements local soil surface slope (S)...
Few models can predict ephemeral gully erosion rates (e.g. CREAMS, EGEM). The Ephemeral Gully Erosion Model (EGEM) was specifically developed to soil loss by erosion. Although EGEM claims have a great potential in predicting losses erosion, it has never been thoroughly tested. objective of this study evaluate the suitability for Mediterranean environments. An EGEM-input data set 86 gullies collected: detailed measurements 46 were made intensively cultivated land southeast Spain (Guadalentin...
Abstract. Understanding how land use history shapes secondary succession is crucial for semiarid regions, where human pressures intersect with climatic variability. This study examines the Serra de Serpa e Mértola, in SE Alentejo, Portugal, an area marked by extensive conversion and degradation over 20th century. Drawing on long-term monitoring of experimental plots at Vale Formoso Soil Erosion Centre, we leverage UAV-based photogrammetry to quantify vegetation recovery dynamics from 2018...
Planning the adaptation of agriculture and forestry landscapes to climate change remains challenging due need for integrating substantial amounts information. This information ranges from scenarios, geographical site information, socio-economic data several possible measures. Thus, there is an urgent have a framework that capable organizing strategies measures in sectors Mediterranean climatic regions. Additionally, this should provide cause effect relation with vulnerability adequately...
Abstract This study analyses and interprets the effects of historical contemporary land use cover changes (LULC) on soil erosion in Serra de Mértola region, Portugal, by using 58 years measurements 8 × 22 m plots at Vale Formoso Erosion Centre employing methodologies including field observations, aerial image analysis Landsat NDVI trend assessment. Land management changes, influenced agricultural policies since early 20th century, notably during wheat campaigns fascist regime, have...
This paper concerns with the interaction between piping processes and development of gullies rills in different sub-systems (hillslopes valley floor fills) present a small catchment SE Spain. The influence several soil regolith properties over forms associated to is analyzed. Rill-pipe systems are on badland hillslopes mainly related sodium absorption rate (SAR) electrical conductivity (EC) soils. In contrast at fills these chemical interact discontinuities hydraulic gradient introduced by...

Abstract Since the United Nations declared 2008 as International Year of Planet Earth (IYPE) (during triennium 2007–2009), under motto ‘Earth Sciences for Society’, many impacts and changes were generated in Portuguese society. Particular attention was given to educational activities concerning geosciences these promoted by several entities Portugal. The National Commission Educational, Scientific Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has assumed an increasing role science sector with promotion...
A multidisciplinary, multilevel methodology that cross-examines existing historical information from past climate (1st half of 20th century), with geographic and other sources available about population movements (demographic census) is proposed, allowing to map variability in the same period its relationship migration Portuguese territory. Results are presented regarding case study Avieiros, a fishing community, whose shows some correlation time precipitation temperature series. Developing...
