[EN] The high erosion rates found in the agriculture
land make valuable the use of mulches to control the soil and
water losses. Coffee husk (Coffea canephora var. robusta)
can be one of those mulches. This paper ...

[EN] Due to increasingly extreme precipitation patterns, with rising floodings and drought periods, collecting rainwater becomes a necessity. However, in the narrow streets of city centers, there is no space for a standard ...
Bussi, Gianbattista; Francés García, Félix Ramón; Montoya, JJ; Julien Y, Pierre(Elsevier, 2014-08)
The importance of initial sediment conditions on model calibration and validation is analysed. A sediment model was calibrated and validated under three different initial sediment conditions: (0) no sediment availability, ...
[EN] Parent material can determine specific physical and chemical soil properties and, therefore, soil erosion rates. However, for new vine plantations, there is not enough research on soil erosion assessment on different ...

En las últimas décadas la erosión y, la consecuente, emisión de sedimentos a lo largo de la vertiente mediterránea española se ha manifestado como un problema ambiental grave objeto de especial atención. El aterramiento ...
Bussi, Gianbattista(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2014-03-20)
Soil erosion by water can cause agricultural soil losses, desertification, water pollution, reservoir
sedimentation, local excess of erosion (such as bridge scour) or deposition, etc. For this reason, the
assessment ...
[EN] High rates of soil erosion compromise sustainable agriculture. In rainfed agricultural fields, erosion rates several orders of
magnitude higher than the erosion rates considered tolerable have been quantified. In ...
[EN] Soil erosion presents a pressing global issue that gravely impacts agriculture, food security, and the environment, necessitating immediate attention. Exploring innovative alternatives to combat soil degradation ...
