Description :
The data presented in this paper are concerned with an evaluation of the major influences on aggregate stability in central Spain. Although raindrop impact is unlikely to be a significant erosion process under mature forest or matorral such data are important in predicting land degradational impacts of possible future land-use changes. This need is particularly important in Spain where much of the land is climatically and economically marginal in terms of agricultural production, and where there is continued pressure to convert matorral lands to forest.
