“…Cerdan et al (2010) reported that vineyards are one of the most erosionprone types of cultivated land in Europe. Most of the data supporting this fact have been collected in Mediterranean regions, where erosion represents a significant threat to soils (Augustinius and Nieuwenhuyse, 1986;Kosmas et al, 1997;Hooke, 2006;Blavet et al, 2009;Cots-Folch et al, 2009;Gómez et al, 2011). In contrast to a number of studies from the Mediterranean regions, there are only a few reflecting this problem in vineyard regions of Central Europe (Klik et al, 1998;Jordan et al, 2005;Björn et al, in press;Vrsic et al, 2011).…”

Vineyards represent one of the most erosion‐prone types of cultivated land. Because of this, cultivation practices are very important in reducing the soil erosion risk in vineyard regions. The aim of this paper was to assess the impact of various management practices on soil loss in vineyards. Effects of tillage, hoeing, rotavating and grass cover were evaluated in small vineyards located in southwestern Slovakia in the Vráble viticultural district. Erosion and deposition rates were estimated using the levelling method. This method is based on an evaluation of variability of the soil surface against vineyard poles measured between the year of pole insertion and the year of measurement. On the basis of the measured data, a WATEM/SEDEM distributed soil erosion model was calibrated, and the total soil loss from the vineyards under different management conditions was estimated. The model shows rather good performance in modelling soil erosion, but at the same time, it shows lower reliability in modelling soil deposition. Downslope tilled vineyards were the most eroded; the erosion in rotavated vineyards is somewhat reduced. The most protective tillage system is hoeing. Considerably lower soil loss was estimated with the use of vegetation cover between vine rows, which is in accordance with agro‐environmental schemes supporting use of grass cover as an erosion prevention measure in vineyards.

“…In Spain, soil loss in vineyards was investigated at field scale in the wine region of Penedès (Catalonia) by Ramos & Martínez-Casasnovas (2007) and in Navarre by Casalí et al (2009). In France, the intensity of soil erosion in the vineyards was studied in the Ardeche region by Augustinus & Nieuwenhuyse (1986) and, more recently and using different scales and methodologies, in Burgundy (Brenot et al, 2008) and in Languedoc-Roussilon (Blavet et al, 2009;Raclot et al, 2009;Paroissien et al, 2010). In Italy, Tropeano (1984) measured soil erosion for a two-years period in confined plots located in three vineyard areas in Piedmont (NW Italy).…”

Danilo Godone holds a PhD in "Agriculture, Forest and Food Sciences", doctorate's topic was cryosphere's phenomena monitoring by geomatic methodologies. Currently he is a PostDoc grant holder, at Turin University, studying geomatic contribution in land management and analysis. His main research interests are, however, landslide, glacier and, more generally, natural disasters monitoring. During his activities he has developed skills in GIS, also by developing customised tools by Visual Basic programming, and land surveying with GPS or Laser Scanners. He is a member of NATRISK -Research Centre on Natural Risks in Mountain and Hilly Environments, in the same University. He acts as a freelance consultant, in the same topics, for other research bodies, training agencies and professionals, too.Dr. Silvia Stanchi holds a PhD in "Agriculture, Forest and Food Sciences", with a focus on fractal theory approaches for the study of soil aggregation and structure. Currently, she is a PostDoc at Turin University working on soil hazards and vulnerability in mountain areas. Silvia Stanchi is a member of NATRISK -Research Centre on Natural Risks in Mountain and Hilly Environments, in the same University. She is actively involved in outreach and soil awareness raising activities targeting kids and the large public, and in international training activities focusing on mountain development and management.
