In order to evaluate the soil loss in a burnt forest and the role played by slope orientation in erosion, a study has been carried out in the Montserrat area (NE Spain) affected by a fire in summer 1986.
In this paper the question of chronological and genetical relationship between the terrestrial erosion and accumulation processes caused by the late Pliocene uplift of the Vera basin and the Raña and glacis formations known from central Spain

The present work shows that GIS have an important role to play in land use monitoring, land degradation and erosion studies in the Albudeite catchment, S.E. Spain. A land use classification of the area was obtained by air-photo interpretation (1957
