“…Additionally, modeling simulation methods have gained popularity as research scales have expanded. Emerging technologies, such as Geographic Information System, Remote Sensing (RS), and Lidar (Cao et al, 2021; Surfleet & Marks, 2021), along with methods like geochemical tracing (Bispo et al, 2020; Ramon et al, 2020), have been applied to calibrate model parameters and gather data. These technologies enable high‐resolution and large‐scale experimental data acquisition, supporting modeling and management of erosion.…”

Global soil degradation due to road erosion is an escalating concern. This study employed bibliometric analysis using the Science Citation Index‐Expanded dataset to gain insights into research trends in road erosion. It covered the years 2000–2021, revealing a steady increase in annual research publications, particularly after 2018. The United States and Catena was the leading contributor and the most popular journal, respectively. The primary research areas identified by keywords and statistical analysis are the forests and arid regions in the temperate climate zone (including temperate continental climate and temperate monsoon climate) and the tropical climate zone (including tropical rainforest climate and tropical monsoon climate). Since 2012, a noticeable shift from traditional methods to emerging technologies like isotope tracing (e.g., 137Cs, 210Pb) and machine learning (e.g., random forest) was observed, indicating evolving in methodologies with changes in research scales. The study emphasized the inevitability of road erosion, highlighting the crucial role of effective road management and restoration. It proposed integrating best management practices and ecosystem restoration strategies into watershed management, combined with advanced technological approaches, to foster sustainable watershed development.

“…The only water reservoir in the town on Aiba River has continuously become silted up in view of farming activities and the removal or ageing of the forest trees in its environment. Agricultural activities being carried out within the forest have impacted on the depth of the dam through sedimentation, thus silting up the bed of the dam (Zimmerman et al, 2003;Bispo et al, 2020; The consequential effect of this is the drastic fall in the capacity of water that the dam could hold. The excess water overflows its embankment causing overflowing downstream which is also equally facing sedimentation challenges.…”

A major sustainable development goal (SDG) is the attainment of desirable living in cities. However, one serious environmental problem confronting Iwo, Osun State, Nigeria is flooding. Consequently, a critical review of literature was done to ascertain causes and establish remediation strategies for achieving a virile and sustainable city now and in no distant future. Causes of flood disaster include heavy rainfall, poor urban planning, indiscriminate refuse dumps, sedimentation of stream and reservoir beds, lackadaisical attitude towards expert warnings and forecasts among others. The effects range from farmland destructions, community displacement, destruction of public utilities and loss of lives. The accompanying disaster often led to unplanned and unprecedented expenditure by governments at different levels in an effort to alleviate negative impacts on those affected; repair and rebuilding of damaged infrastructures etc. Current growth and anticipated development of Iwo township demand efforts of all stakeholders to put in place reliable policies, projects and programmes that will lessen flood disaster for sustainability. It is expected that all stakeholders would work towards mitigating the occurrence of the flood disaster by enacting relevant legislation; proactive and mitigating measures to prevent the disaster; timely provision of adequate and relevant data/information; adherence to modern town planning rules and expert warnings in order to achieve sustainable living in cities.

“…Although these results might seem case-specific, similar findings have been reported around the world. For instance, the effects of roads and farm tracks in both coupling and decoupling runoff and sediments has been described in Australia (Croke et al, 2005), Brazil (Bispo et al, 2020), Kenya (Stenfert Kroese et al, 2020), Italy (Persichillo et al, 2018), and Spain (Calsamiglia et al, 2018). Moreover, the influence of linear features such as field borders, hedges, terraces, and tractor tram lines in soil redistribution rates and patterns have been well-documented in Europe (Calsamiglia et al, 2018b;Evrard et al, 2009;Fiener and Auerswald, 2005;Lacoste et al, 2014;Saggau et al, 2019), as well as the importance of landscape structure (Baartman et al, 2020;Chartin et al, 2013;Fiener et al, 2011).…”

Abstract. The accelerated sediment supply from agricultural soils to riverine and lacustrine environments leads to negative off-site consequences. In particular, the sediment connectivity from agricultural land to surface waters is strongly affected by landscape patchiness and the linear structures that separate field parcels (e.g. roads, tracks, hedges, and grass-buffer-strips). Understanding the feedbacks between these structures and sediment transfer is therefore crucial for minimising off-site erosion impacts. Although soil erosion models can be used to understand lateral sediment transport patterns, model-based connectivity assessments are hindered by the uncertainty in model structures and input data. In particular, the representation of linear landscape features in numerical soil redistribution models is often compromised by the spatial resolution of the input data and the quality of the process descriptions. Here we adapted the WaTEM/SEDEM model using high resolution spatial data (2 m × 2 m) to analyse the sediment connectivity in a very patchy mesoscale catchment (73 km2) of the Swiss Plateau. Specifically, we used a global sensitivity analysis to explore model structural assumptions about how linear landscape features (dis)connect the sediment cascade. Furthermore, we compared model simulations of hillslope sediment yields from five sub-catchments to tributary sediment loads, which were calculated with long-term water discharge and suspended sediment measurements. Our results showed that roads were the main regulators of sediment connectivity in the catchment. In particular, the sensitivity analysis revealed that the assumptions about how the road network (dis)connects the sediment transfer from field-blocks to water courses had a much higher impact on modelled sediment yields than the uncertainty in model parameters. Moreover, model simulations showed a higher agreement with tributary sediment loads when the road network was assumed to directly connect sediments from hillslopes to water courses. Our results ultimately illustrate how a high-density road network combined with an effective drainage system increase sediment connectivity from hillslopes to surface waters in this representative catchment of the Swiss Plateau. This further highlights the importance of considering linear structures in soil erosion and sediment connectivity models.
