Historical gully erosion with loess areas of SE Poland – Natural conditions and human impact
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaGullies constitute one of the most characteristic elements of loess relief in SE Poland. Particularly dense net of permanent gullies – in some places more than 10 km?km-2 – appears in areas of specific conditions of ... -
Hydrological and sediment dynamics within a small catchment with badland areas

Hydrological effects of the sediments deposited off a hillslope affected by rill erosion: project outlines and preliminary results
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaThe main objectives of this project are (i) to evaluate the sedimentation rate generated by rill erosion in a hillslope and the granulometric characteristics of the sediment deposited off this hillslope, and (ii) to ... -
Impact of root architecture, soil and flow characteristics on the erosion-reducing potential of roots during concentrated flow
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaIn this study, the effects of roots of different root morphologies (tap roots vs. fine-branched roots) on concentrated flow erosion rates are studied experimentally. The impact of soil type, soil moisture conditions ... -
Implications of recent experimental findings for rill erosion modeling
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaThe major aim of this paper is to critically review the theoretical concepts that are underpinning current models of rill flow and sediment detachment in the light of recent experimental results and, when necessary, to ... -
The importance of the presence of gullies in the production of sediments in semiarid areas (Murcia, south-east of Spain)
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaThe study has shown how the existence of gullies remarkably increases the rates of erosion and, therefore, the volume of sediments that arrives at the dikes of hydrological correction. A consequence of this is the need to ... -
Improving the structural stability of cropped soils in Olite (Navarre) using conservation tillage to reduce water erosion
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaThe objective of this work was to compare the soil wet aggregate stability and its relationship to the soil organic matter stock in an agricultural soil under different types of tillage in a semi-arid area of Northern Spain. -
Influence of snowmelt and heavy rainfalls on water and sediment yield from loess gully catchment (Lublin upland – Poland)
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaThe surface discharge from the gully catchments of the Lublin Upland (Poland) usually is not very high and amounts to about 15 mm·yr-1. It is mainly an episodic discharge of snow/rainfall regime. Surface runoff and ... -
Influence of soil structure, pore-water pressure, and tailwater height on headcut migration in upland concentrated flows
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaThe primary objective of this study was to determine the impact of soil texture, soil pore-water pressure, and tailwater height on scour hole dimensions, migration rate and sediment yield in headcuts migrating under steady ... -
Long term evolution of incised coastal channels on the isle of Wight, UK: insights from numerical modelling
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaModerate rates of effective precipitation induce a realistic incised channel network, providing there is a step cliff profile present. Such a step profile is shown to be produced by sea-level rise and associated cliff ... -
Modelling the occurrence of gullies in semi-arid areas of south-west Spain
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaModern predictive models represent a powerful tool for predicting and analyzing geomorphological phenomena like gullying. The model obtained presents a high percentage of success in classifying gullied and ungullied ... -
Morphology and controlling factors of landslide cirque gullies: a case study from the Sprogu gravas nature monument (SE Latvia)
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaHuman-induced changes of landscape and the vegetation cover have been recognized in the majority of studies focusing on gully formation as one of the most important factors triggering the development of gullies throughout ... -
Photogrammetrical and field measurement of gullies with contrasting morphology
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaDespite a wealth of studies on monitoring different types of gullies by using remote-sensing technique such as photogrammetry, relatively few efforts have been made to test their accuracy. Therefore the question arises ... -
Prehistoric and modern impacts on gully formation on the loess hills of northern Mississippi, USA
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaIn this work the authors present two sites that will help understand the processes that drive gully formation in the uplands of northern Mississippi and how these processes are affected by anthropomorphic influences. The ... -
Progress in gully erosion research: IV International Symposium on Gully Erosion
