Multidecadal Land-Use Changes and Implications on Soil Protection in the Calore River Basin Landscape (Southern Italy)

Paolo Magliulo et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the land-use changes in the Calore River basin in Southern Italy between 1960 and 2018. The results show that most of the changes occurred between 1960 and 1990, with afforestation of agricultural lands being the main change. However, between 1990 and 2018, over 90% of the landscape remained unchanged. The increase in artificial surfaces contributed to an overall improvement in soil protection against erosion.

Effects of land use and land cover on soil erosion control in southern China: Implications from a systematic quantitative review

Jia Chen et al.

Summary: The study found that bare land has the greatest impact on soil erosion, while cropland and grassland have the smallest impact. When vegetation coverage exceeds 60%, soil erosion tends to stabilize. Land use with multiple vegetation layers or contact cover can reduce runoff and sediment values.

Channel adjustments over 140 years in response to extreme floods and land-use change, Tammaro River, southern Italy

Paolo Magliulo et al.

Summary: This study investigated the channel adjustments experienced by the Tammaro River in Italy over a period of 140 years. Results showed different phases of channel morphology and stability, with the later stability being related to changes after the closure of the Campolattaro Dam.
