Abstract:
Soil erosion is one of today’s most pressing environmental threats, reducing agricultural productivity, degrading water and ecosystem resources, and undermining socioeconomic stability worldwide. Among vulnerable dryland environments, loess-covered terrains are particularly at risk. Their high fertility is offset by high porosity, making them extremely susceptible to water erosion. Monitoring these rapidly changing surfaces is challenging in steep, inaccessible terrain. Advances in Remote Sensing now offer a practical solution, enabling continuous, landscape-scale assessment of erosion processes.
