“…The annual average rates of the erosion losses exceed 2.5 t ha −1 for 30% of the arable soils, while >5 t ha −1 are lost in 12% of the tilled fields in the basin (Figure 4). The modeled erosion rates are generally consistent with the results of similar regional studies at largeand medium-scale levels, which show average annual soil loss values ranging from 1.3 to 10 t ha −1 [76].…”

The basin of the small river studied here (the Vezelka River, Belgorod Oblast of European Russia) is located within an urban area (22% of the basin). This circumstance determines its specificity as an object of synergetic anthropogenic impact. The purpose of the work was to develop and test approaches to the integral assessment of the hydroecological situation both in the watershed and riparian zones based on hydrological, hydrochemical, and hydrobiological data and estimates of soil erosion, river water quality, and the pollution of river bottom sediments. The selection of the Vezelka River and its watershed for the study was due to the presence there of two water intakes for a town with a population of 2439 people per sq. km, repeated bottom deepening in the riverbed, and the fact that there is a single regional small-river hydrological station (although there are 567 rivers < 25 km long in Belgorod Oblast). Analysis for 1951–2021 showed a steady decline in water discharge since 1991; thus, over the past three decades, the discharge has decreased by 2.4 times. The reduction in the length of the river network of the study region by 38% over the past 250 years and the assignment of water (at 10 gauging stations) to 3–4 quality classes (extremely and heavily polluted) indicated the exhaustion of the possibilities for the self-purification of the river water. These estimates for large and medium rivers were clearly confirmed by the investigation of the water in the small river studied. In the summer low-water periods, the maximum allowable concentrations in fishery water bodies were exceeded by 2–10 times in terms of Cu, Fe, ammonium, oil, and biochemical oxygen demand. The reconstruction of the floodplain–channel subsystem of river–valley landscapes was substantiated as the final stage of the concept of basin nature management, replacing the continuous deepening of the channel without proper erosion control measures in the watershed area and the organization of buffer zones along the river banks.

This study examines the effects of forest belts on erosion andhydrological conditions, soil moisture reserves, and cellulolytic activity, aswell as their influence on agricultural crop yields on slopes. The researchreveals that forest belts lead to increased snow depth and even distribution,reduced soil freezing, and decreased water erosion risk in catchment areas.Additionally, forest belts enhance moisture reserves in the middle slope byreducing lateral water flow. In comparison to upland areas, the lower andmiddle parts of the slope typically exhibit greater snow depth, reduced soilfreezing, and increased soil moisture. Forest belts also promote highercellulolytic activity in adjacent areas. The study finds that barley yieldsincrease on slopes with forest belts, but buckwheat yields decrease due toexcessive vegetative growth.
