Season and type of surface were found to control runoff and soil- loss rates. Five soil units were selected as representative of surface types found in the study area: hillslope grass, bottom grass, tree cover, sheep trails, and shrub cover. Measurements were made in various conditions with simulated rainfall to gain an idea of the annual varia- tion in runoff and soil loss. Important seasonal differences were noted due to surface cover and moisture content of soil, but erosion rates were determined primarily by runoff. Surfaces covered with grass and shrubs always showed less erosion; surfaces covered with holm oaks showed higher runoff rates, due to the hydrophobic character of the soils. Concentrations of runoff sediment during the siniulations confirmed that erosion rates at the study site de- pended directly on the sediment available on the soil surface</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gutiérrez, Álvaro Gómez</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schnabel, Susanne</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Contador, Francisco Lavado</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gully erosion, land use and topographical thresholds during the last 60 years in a small rangeland catchment in SW Spain</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Land Degradation &amp; Development</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gully erosion</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">land use</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">orthophotographs</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Overgrazing</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">topographical thresholds</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">John Wiley &amp; Sons, Ltd.</style></publisher><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">20</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">535-550</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gully erosion plays an important role in degradation processes of Mediterranean environments. In this paper aerial orthophotographs were used for (i) analysing the evolution of a valley bottom gully and its relation with land use and vegetation cover, (ii) exploring the role of land use and vegetation cover on the coefficients of the equation S = aA−b (where S is slope at the headcut and A is drainage area), which is based on the topographical threshold concept and is commonly used to predict gully initiation. The study was carried out in a small catchment (99·5 ha) located in the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula. Gullies and headcuts were mapped together with land use and vegetation cover using aerial photographs for the years 1945, 1956, 1989, 1998, 2002 and 2006, which had to be digitized and orthorectified in advance. The results showed an increase of the area affected by gullying from 695 m2 in 1945–1009 m2 in 2006, reaching a maximum of 1560 m2 in 1956. Gullying was closely related with land use, especially with the amount of cultivated areas within the catchment and also with grazing intensity. No clear relationship was found between the evolution of the gullied area and rainfall amounts. Finally, the values of the exponent b obtained for different headcuts and different dates (close to 0·4) were similar to those proposed by other authors for gully erosion caused by Hortonian overland flow in semiarid environments.

In this paper, a relatively new data mining technique called Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) was applied to construct a model capable of predicting the location of gullies. A large database was used to support the model composed of a target variable (presence or absence of gullies) and 36 independent variables related to topography, lithology, soils, rainfall, land use and vegetation cover. The performance of the model was evaluated using the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve for ﬁ ve external datasets. The model had high predictive power, with values for the area under the ROC curve of the external validation datasets varying from 0·75 to 0·98 (1·0 being perfect prediction). The most important variables explaining the spatial distribution of gullies were lithology and soil type. Finally the model was compiled and implemented into a geographical information system to obtain maps of susceptible areas for gully erosion. These maps show that approximately 7% of the study area presents favourable conditions for the development of gullies. The results demonstrate that MARS constitutes a valuable model in geomorphic research and could also be a useful tool for assessing the impacts of changing climate and land use on gully erosion.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gutiérrez, Álvaro Gómez</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schnabel, Susanne</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lavado Contador, J Francisco</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Using and comparing two nonparametric methods (CART and MARS) to model the potential distribution of gullies</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ecological Modelling</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CART</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gully erosion</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MARS</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nonparametric modelling</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rangelands</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ROC curve</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">220</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3630-3637</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gully erosion represents an important soil degradation process in rangelands.

The model may then be used to predict soil losses or runoff production in storms of different intensities. In the present study a distributed hydrologic model was calibrated to see if rainfall–runoff events of different intensities in a single semiarid basin may have different optimal calibrated sets of parameters.

Hydraulic roughness and initial inﬁltration capacity showed the highest sensitivity to rainfall intensity, while steady state inﬁltration capacity showed sensitivity to information used as a proxy for the wetness state of the basin.
