The objectives of this study are to analyse the spatial variability in area-specific sediment yield (SSY) for catchments in Spain and to understand the major factors controlling this variability. An attempt to explain the remaining variability

In this study, short-term headcut retreat was monitored from 46 active bank gullies, selected in the Guadalentin and the Guadix basin in Southeast Spain, over two years. The AA. investigate the relationship between annual gully head retreat rate

of ephemeral gully initiation in intensively cultivated Mediterranean environments. Two relatively homogeneous study areas in Southeast Spain and Northeast Portugal with widespread ephemeral gullying were selected.

The AA. examine the factors that control the spatial distribution of bank gully heads along a reach of an ephemeral river (Rambla Salada) in an area threatened by desertification in Southeast Spain. The activity of 458 gully heads was assessed
The aims of this paper are : 1) to develop a methodology based on dendrochronology to estimate gully erosion rates; 2) to apply this method to gully sites selected in the Guadalentin basin in southeast Spain. The method is developed for Pinus

An EGEM-input data set for 86 ephemeral gullies was collected : detailed measurements of 46 ephemeral gullies were made in intensively cultivated land in southeast Spain (Guadalentin study area) and another 40 ephemeral gullies were measured in both
moisture content was studied during rainfall in the laboratory. In order to evaluate the long-term effects of rainfall and sheet erosion on surface roughness of stony interrills, two abandoned hillslopes in southeastern Spain were investigated. Relations

rill and gully channel junctions with various soils and land use types were investigated in Belgium, Italy and Spain. The obtained data confirmed the existence of the power relationship for rills and gullies, with the exponent varying from 0.43
