Soil erosion and sediment transport

Bu çalışma, Tekirdağ kentindeki akarsu havzalarında 2000–2025 döneminde arazi kullanımı/arazi örtüsü (AKAÖ) özelliklerinde meydana gelen zamansal ve mekânsal değişimleri ve bu değişimlerin akarsu sistemleri üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektedir. Çalışmada, farklı kaynaklardan elde edilen veriler kullanılarak kentsel ak…

ABSTRACT Soil erodibility (USLE‐K) is a critical indicator of soil susceptibility to erosion; however, its accurate estimation remains challenging due to complex and nonlinear interactions among soil physicochemical properties. Most existing studies focus either on traditional machine learning techniques or on individ…

This study investigated the influence of landscape position and parent material on soil physicochemical properties and biological functioning along the Çankırı–Acıçay River toposequence. Our objectives were to (i) characterize six representative soil profiles, (ii) quantify the range and spatial variation of key hydro…

Kıyı kumulu alanlarının antropojenik ve iklimsel baskılar altında hızla azaldığı Akdeniz havzasında, bu kayıpların nicel olarak ortaya konulması koruma ve planlama politikaları açısından büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’nin güneybatısında Muğla-Antalya il sınırında yer alan, Akdeniz havzasının en geniş k…

Afforestation is widely used to restore degraded Mediterranean landscapes, yet restoration success is often evaluated using vegetation establishment or soil carbon accumulation, with less attention to belowground ecosystem functioning. We assessed whether Cedrus libani afforestation promotes soil functional recovery i…

ABSTRACT Despite increasing climate variability and anthropogenic pressures in the eastern Mediterranean, integrated approaches for assessing soil erosion susceptibility remain limited. This study evaluates soil erosion susceptibility in the Ghamqa River Basin, western Syria, a climate-sensitive coastal watershed. Ten…

This study presents an integrated remote sensing and modeling framework to assess the biophysical impacts of a large-scale wildfire that occurred on August 13, 2024, in the Yamanlar region of İzmir, Türkiye. The approach combines GEDI LiDAR-derived aboveground biomass density (AGBD), Sentinel-2 imagery, and the Revise…

Soil erosion is a major threat to the sustainable productivity of arable lands, making the accurate prediction of soil erodibility essential for effective soil conservation planning. Soil erodibility is strongly controlled by intrinsic soil properties that regulate aggregate resistance and detachment processes under e…

Soil variability in floodplain forests plays a crucial role in shaping habitat conditions, nutrient cycling, and the health status of trees. However, detailed pedological analyses linking soil heterogeneity to ash (Fraxinus spp.) habitats remain limited, particularly for the narrow-leaved ash (F. angustifolia subsp. o…
