Description :
With the main purpose of determining the annual soil loss rates in cultivated areas of central Navarre, a detailed assessment of rainfall and of rill and gully erosion was made in 19 small catchments from October 1999 to September 2001. 17 of them were randomly selected, and were cultivated with winter cereals, vineyards or sunflowers. The other 2 catchments were selected to represent partially uncultivated lands abandoned for 10 years. Other previous information available from 1995 to 2001 was also analysed with the purpose of providing a wider view of the problem.
