Description :
A high-resolution record of catchment-wide soil loss for the period c. 1806-1990 has been obtained from Little Llangothlin Lagoon on the New England Tablelands of northeast New South Wales, Australia. This study has implications for the understanding of the mechanisms of soil erosion, for efforts to minimise soil erosion and, more broadly, for research on the behaviour of geomorphic systems. The AA. analyse what has been the impact of European land use on soil loss and how have rates of soil loss under conditions of European land use varied over time.
