“…For example, in the upper and middle Citarum watersheds, combining vegetation management (FVC) with other factors may reduce soil erosion significantly. In the downstream region, the interaction of climate (PRE) with other factors is crucial, indicating the importance of climate-sensitive erosion control measures [ 79 , 80 ].…”

“…Authorities and stakeholders should prioritize investments in erosion control measures, such as reforestation and terracing, to curb the escalating erosion rates. This may involve implementing stricter land use regulations and sustainable land management practices [ 80 , 84 ]. These results provide valuable information for policymakers, land managers, and conservationists to develop region-specific strategies for soil erosion control and sustainable land management practices in the Citarum watershed.…”

“…Conservation efforts can be concentrated on addressing the factors contributing most to soil erosion. This may involve the restoration of natural vegetation, improving soil and water conservation practices, and implementing erosion control measures such as terracing and sediment basins [ 80 , 86 ]. Conservation initiatives can prioritize areas with the highest erosion risk, focusing on those influenced by slope, rainfall, and vegetation cover.…”

“…Tailored erosion control strategies should be developed for each subwatershed, focusing on the factors with the greatest infuence in those areas. For instance, upstream and middle subwatersheds may require more emphasis on vegetation and climate management, while downstream areas should prioritize climate-related interventions [79][80][81].…”

The application of remote sensing data has been significant in modeling soil erosion. However, previous studies have fallen short in elucidating and lacked an understanding of the multifactor influencing erosion. This study addresses these limitations by employing the InVEST and the Geodetector models. Specifically, it aims (1) to delineate both spatial and temporal variations in soil erosion within the Citarum watershed from 2010 to 2020, (2) to identify the key drivers of soil erosion and unravel the underlying mechanisms, and (3) to identify the high-risk zones for soil erosion. Both models consider a range of natural predictors, including topography (slope factor), climate (precipitation factor), and vegetation cover (vegetation factor). In addition, they incorporate social parameters such as income per capita and population density, which interact with the watershed’s position in the downstream, middle, and upper streams. The results reveal that, over a decade, the average soil erosion increased by 15.50 × 106 tons, marking a 16.65% surge. The impact of factors varies significantly across different subwatershed areas. For example, fraction vegetation cover interactions influence upper- and middle-stream regions, while the downstream area is notably affected by precipitation interactions. The high-risk erosion areas in the watershed are primarily influenced by slope, precipitation, and fractional vegetation cover. In these areas, factors causing high erosion risks include slope, precipitation, and other environmental variables categorized into strata. The study highlights the varying influential factors in different watershed areas.

One of Brazil's efficient soil and water conservation practices is the no‐tillage system (NTS). Nonetheless, erosion during rainfall still causes soil and water losses in this system. Therefore, this study aimed to assess surface runoff in different cultivation systems and sediment production during rainfall events. In macro‐plot 1 (non‐terraced catchment [NTC]), we adopted the NTS management with up‐ and down‐slope farming without including mechanical runoff control practices, which most regional producers use. In macro‐plot 2 (best management practices [BMPs]), we optimized crop rotation by incorporating a mixture of cover crop species in autumn and implemented contour farming practices. In macroplot 3 (terraced catchment [TC]), we adopted the same soil management practices as the NTC macroplot, including mechanical runoff control using broad‐based terraces. We used rainfall data to create hyetographs, hydrographs, and sedimentographs, aiming to evaluate the impact of management practices on surface runoff and sediment production. The surface runoff was reduced by 81% (BMPs) and 88% (TC) compared to the NTC system. There was also a reduction in suspended sediment concentration, around 33% (BMPs) and 63% (TC), compared to the NTC system. Despite conservation systems have shown effectiveness in reducing surface runoff and sediment production, monitoring these systems during periods not influenced by the La Niña phenomenon is necessary to assess the impact of rainfall events on soils with conservation practices in extreme events. The study findings provide guidance and recommendations for agricultural producers and field technicians globally, offering criteria for selecting optimal soil and water management practices in no‐till systems. This promotes a conservation‐oriented approach to agriculture.
