Modeling soil erosion and reservoir sedimentation at hillslope and catchment scale in semi-arid Burkina Faso
(2011-08-23)
Soil erosion is a major factor of land degradation in Sub-Saharan Africa. The loss of nutrient-rich topsoil from hillslopes causes severe agricultural problems for an extremely vulnerable agricultural society that depends ...
Modelling the holocene sediment budget of the Rhine system
(2007)
Rivers transport large amounts of water, sediments, nutrients and carbon from the continents to the oceans. Thus, they are important links within the global biogeochemical cycle. To understand biogeochemical fluxes in river ...
Soil degradation by water erosion in a sub-humid West-African catchment: a modelling approach considering land use and climate change in Benin
(2008)
Soil degradation threatens agricultural production and food security in Sub-Saharan Africa. In the coming decades, soil degradation, in particular soil erosion, will become worse through the expansion of agriculture into ...
