Linking Soil Erosion Modeling to Landscape Patterns and Geomorphometry: An Application in Crete, Greece
Soil erosion is a severe and continuous environmental problem caused mainly by natural factors, which can be enhanced by anthropogenic activities. The morphological relief with relatively steep slopes, the dense drainage network, and the Mediterranean climate are some of the factors that render the...
