| Abstract: | Purpose Sediment delivery from headwater catchments to reservoirs is a serious threat to reservoir sustainability and is a critical
issue in Mediterranean environments where water resources are scarce. In this study we assessed the consequences of two landscape
management scenarios (natural vegetation recovery and scrub clearance) on soil erosion and sediment yield. The results were
analyzed in relation to predicted and measured rates of soil erosion and sediment yield, with the aim of promoting better
management practices. |
