TL;DR: The European Soil Erosion Model (EUROSEM) as mentioned in this paper is a dynamic distributed model able to simulate sediment transport, erosion and deposition over the land surface by rill and interill processes in single storms for both individual fields and small catchments.

TL;DR: In this paper, an extensive database of short to medium-term erosion rates as measured on erosion plots in Europe under natural rainfall was compiled from the literature, and statistical analysis confirmed the dominant influence of land use and cover on soil erosion rates.

TL;DR: Together measurements of penetration resistance, depth gradients of Eh and texture were most suitable for assessing stream bed quality, while water chemistry was insufficient because of the decoupling of interstitial and free-flowing water at poor quality sites.

TL;DR: In this paper, a pedotransfer function was used to predict the three-dimensional variability of water retention curves (WRCs) in a highly variable soilscape, where the parameters of a Van Genuchten-type function, i.e., dg and σg, were substituted by linear equations relating these parameters with soil properties in a physically meaningful way.
