Soil erosion is a natural phenomenon, but human activities accelerate it between ten to forty times the natural occurrences. It therefore calls for mitigating measure to curb the effects of erosion since soils form at a slower rate than they are destroyed. A study on land use activities and their effects on soil erosion was conducted in the upland ecosystem in Kenya, Kajulu hills. The study assessed the effectiveness of the mitigation measures adopted by the residents to ease the effects erosion on the hill slopes. A sample size of 295 households out of 1600 households engaged in various mitigating practices was used. The study collected data on the magnitude of soil (kg) lost from the arable lands using collector ditch technique. The data were analyzed using frequency distribution tables and Man U-test. The result showed a double amount (1.198kg/m2) of soil lost on the arable land without mitigation measures as compared to plots under cut off ditches (0,615kg/m2) and vegetative strips (0.904kg/m2) with Man U=7. These findings were above the world wide estimation of soil erosion on arable mountainous regions which range between 1.3-40.kg/m2/year (13-40T/Ha/year) as it was based on one rainy season.

Current coastal protection strategy in mainland Portugal defines beach and shoreface nourishment as a valid measure to mitigate coastal erosion in some erosional hot-spots. Here we discuss the relevance of setting appropriate monitoring boundaries to assess the effectiveness and performance of three nourishment interventions and therefore to conclude about their success or failure regarding pre-established objectives (e.g. mitigation of coastal erosion and risk; improvement of the recreational use and value of the coast).

Abstract. Severe wildfires are often followed by significant increase in runoff and erosion, due to vegetation damage and changes in physical and chemical soil properties. Peak flows and sediment yields can increase up to two orders of magnitude, becoming dangerous for human lives and the ecosystem, especially in the wildland–urban interface. Watershed post-fire rehabilitation measures are usually used to mitigate the effects of fire on runoff and erosion, by protecting soil from splash and shear stress detachment and enhancing its infiltration capacity. Modeling post-fire erosion and erosion mitigation strategies can be useful in selecting the effectiveness of a rehabilitation method. In this paper a distributed model based on the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), properly parameterized for a Mediterranean basin located in Sardinia, is used to determine soil losses for six different scenarios describing both natural and post-fire basin condition, the last also accounting for the single and combined effect of different erosion mitigation measures. Fire effect on vegetation and soil properties have been mimed by changing soil drainage capacity and organic matter content, and RUSLE factors related to soil cover and protection measures. Model results, validated using measured data on erosion rates from the literature and in situ field campaigns, show the effect of the analyzed rehabilitation treatments in reducing the amount of soil losses with the peculiar characteristics of the spatial distribution of such changes. In particular, the mulching treatment substantially decreases erosion both in its mean value (−75%) and in the spatially distribution of the erosion levels over the burned area . On the contrary, the breaking up of the hydrophobic layer decreases post-fire mean soil losses of about the 14%, although it strongly influences the spatial distribution of the erosion levels.

A survey was carried out along parts of the coastal stretch of Accra, the capital of Ghana, to determine the existence andthe extent of erosion. The survey was also to determine the effectiveness of the engineering solutions that have been put inplace. Coastal land forms as evidence of erosion were identified during the field survey. These include landslides of steepcoastal cliffs, coastal caves and arches, retreat of coastal cliffs, headlands, stacks and sand dunes. These pieces of evidenceconfirm earlier findings that the coastal shoreline of Accra is being eroded. The extent of erosion, however, is high in soft rocks and low in hard rocks. Several coastal protection measures have been put in place to address the effects of erosion by the sea waves and currents. These include revetments, jetties, ripraps and beach nourishment. Some of the mitigation measures however have shown signs of failure. The signs include rusted metal basket supporting cobbles of gabions, jetties causing down-current erosion of shoreline cliffs, and reduction in coconut population along the shoreline owing to human activities, such as sand winning and diseases attacks. Sand winning along the shore is lowering shoreline morphology and enhancing sea transgression and the destruction of coastal structures.

Soil erosion represents a critical socio-economic and environmental hazard for Mexico and the world. Given that soil erosion is a phenomenon influenced by human activities, it is essential to know the level of cultural perspectives on this matter. An instrument with eight scales was applied to 275 university students from a northwestern Mexican city, which measured the knowledge about soil erosion, self-efficacy in solving the problem, future perspectives, perceived consequences, obstacles to addressing soil erosion, and mitigation intentions and behaviors. To analyze the relationship between the scales and the intentions and behaviors of soil erosion mitigation, a model of structural equations was tested. In summary, the participants know the problem of soil erosion, its impacts, and recognize risks to human and environmental health. They also know their important role within soil conservation; however, they identified significant obstacles to action. This study determined that each indicator has a correlation with soil erosion mitigation intentions except for the obstacles. The indicators that had the greatest positive relationship in mitigation intentions were knowledge, self-efficacy, and the perspective of the future. The implications of these results open the landscape to the creation of efficient strategies to mitigate soil erosion in this region and Mexico.

Abstract This article is intended to highlight the results of a research carried out on erosion processes in the Vâlsan River watershed in Arges County, Romania. The evolution of the relief fragmentation density in accordance with the general evolution of the hydrographic network, the relief energy as a result of the erosion action on the lithological support, the registered specific soil losses ( t · ha-1· yr-1 ), that are influenced by the slope of the land (%), the volume of liquid runoff (m3 ), the volumes of alluvium on the river basin (m3 ), all of these are the most important parameters that give a true picture of the land degradation and soil loss in the studied river basin. In order to stop the evolution of the gully erosion process there are proposed and designed some hydrotechnical works consisting in gabions, both as check-dams on the gully erosion formations as well as gabion walls for protection of the riverbanks.

The article considers the probability of the intensity of the erosion process and the prerequisites for its mitigation and control. The results of the research prove that soil erosion is based on natural and anthropogenic factors. The main objectives of the study were to determine the amount and level of development of worn and erosion-prone soils in the foothills of the country, where it is very difficult to develop on the slope soils of Upper Shirvani. Therefore, in this connection, the tasks are solved, taking into account the requirements of preserving the ecological situation in the example of the Shamakhi district of the Upper Shirvan zone of the Republic of Azerbaijan, where the areas of its potential danger are identified and the preconditions for its prevention are given.

Texto completoResumen
Abstract. To expand the knowledge base on natural infrastructure for erosion mitigation in the Andes, it is necessary to move beyond case by case empirical studies to comprehensive assessments. This study reviews the state of evidence on the effectiveness of interventions to mitigate soil erosion by water and is based on Andean case studies published in gray and peer-reviewed literature. Based on a systematic review of 118 case studies from the Andes, this study addressed the following research questions. (1) Which erosion indicators allow us to assess the effectiveness of natural infrastructure? (2) What is the overall impact of working with natural infrastructure on on-site and off-site erosion mitigation? (3) Which locations and types of studies are needed to fill critical gaps in knowledge and research? Three major categories of natural infrastructure were considered: restoration and protection of natural vegetation, such as forest or native grasslands, forestation with native or exotic species and implementation of soil and water conservation measures for erosion mitigation. From the suite of physical, chemical and biological indicators commonly used in soil erosion research, two indicators were particularly relevant: soil organic carbon of topsoil and soil loss rates at plot scale. The protection and conservation of natural vegetation has the strongest effect on soil quality, with 3.01±0.893 times higher soil organic carbon content in the topsoil compared to control sites. Soil quality improvements are significant but lower for forestation and soil and water conservation measures. Soil and water conservation measures reduce soil erosion to 62.1 % ± 9.2 %, even though erosion mitigation is highest when natural vegetation is maintained. Further research is needed to evaluate whether the reported effectiveness holds during extreme events related to, for example, El Niño–Southern Oscillation.

Texto completoResumen
Purpose: This study examines the impact of climate change on coastal erosion and sustainable mitigation strategies in Australia.
 Materials and Methods: The study adopted a desktop methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low-cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
 Results: The literature review and research findings reveal that climate change is causing significant impacts on Australia's coastal areas, including increased erosion rates, loss of beaches and dunes, damage to infrastructure and property, and loss of habitat for coastal ecosystems. The impacts are projected to intensify in the future due to rising sea levels, changing storm patterns, and other climate-related factors. The study identifies a range of sustainable mitigation measures to address coastal erosion, including coastal protection structures (e.g., seawalls, breakwaters), beach nourishment, dune restoration, setback policies, ecosystem-based approaches, and community engagement. The research also emphasizes the importance of integrated coastal management, adaptive planning, and stakeholder involvement in developing and implementing effective mitigation strategies.
 Recommendations: This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the impact of climate change on coastal erosion in Australia and identifies sustainable mitigation strategies to address the issue. The research offers valuable insights into the interactions between climate change, coastal erosion, and human activities in the Australian context. The findings contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field of coastal management, climate change adaptation, and sustainable development. The study has practical implications for policymakers, coastal managers, and communities in Australia and other coastal regions, providing evidence-based recommendations for mitigating the impacts of climate change on coastal erosion and fostering sustainable coastal development

Texto completoResumen
The problems of gully and soil erosion caused by large-scale urban construction and agricultural development in China have become more and more serious in recent years. In an effort to solve this problem, a series of gully stabilization and highland protection projects have been carried out on the Loess Plateau, and this has resulted in a large number of high-loess-filled-slopes (HLFSs). Although these filled slopes uses several different mitigation measures, the HLFSs have been eroded and destroyed under the action of water. In order to study the influence of different mitigation measures on the stability of HLFSs and their failure process, this paper uses a flume test of the effects of various mitigation measures on this failure process. The results show that: (1) the failure processes of slopes with different mitigation measures are obviously different. Slope deformation u with a declining gradient mitigation mainly occurs on the surface of the slope body, and although slope erosion is quite serious, the slope does not fail as a whole. Slopes with a stepwise drainage channel mitigation show little erosion, but material can easily slide along the horizontal drainage channels. (2) The slope deformation process is correlated with changes in pore-water pressure. When local instability occurs, there is always a pre-process of continuously rising pore-water pressure. When a failure occurs, the pore-water pressure of the soil at each position of the slope body suddenly fluctuates under instantaneous excitation. (3) The response of soil pore pressure and the development characteristics of tension cracks affect the deformation of the slopes, which is also the cause of the differences slope instability caused by different mitigation measures. These research results provide reference for the protection of HLFS engineering projects from heavy rains.

Texto completoResumen
For more than 200 years, the villages of Campo Vallemaggia and Cimalmotto have been slowly moving on top of a deep-seated landslide in the southern Swiss Alps. Numerous mitigation measures have been carried out during this time to stabilize the landslide but with limited to no success. Those attempts largely focussed on minimizing erosion at the toe of the landslide. More recently, the need to stabilize the slope began to intensify, as with each passing year the two villages were being pushed closer to the edge of a 100 m high erosion front at the foot of the landslide. This led to an extensive investigation and monitoring campaign to better understand the factors controlling the landslide movements, which as reported in Part I (see companion paper, this issue), pointed to high artesian pore pressures as being the primary destabilizing mechanism. Here in Part II, the arguments supporting the need for a deep drainage solution are reported, as is the history, implementation, and measured response of the Campo Vallemaggia landslide to the various mitigative measures taken. Numerical modelling results are also presented, based on hydromechanically coupled distinct-element models, to help demonstrate why deep drainage succeeded where other mitigation measures failed.

Texto completoResumen
Sea erosion forms one of the major negative impacts of climate change on sustainable coastal tourism development worldwide. Generally, this negative impact is more pronounced in developing countries where available beach resorts are struggling to persist. Principally, the challenge of operating a successful coastal beach resort in Ghana is aggravated by unexpected destruction of beach resort facilities by sea erosion that leave some affected facilities unsafe for public use (e.g. Saltpond @ the Beach resort along Saltpond coast). Based on the experiences of Saltpond beach resorts, the study analysed the impact of sea erosion on sustainable urban coastal tourism development in Ghana. Mainly, the study found that climate change and human induced factors contribute to the persistent sea erosion along the coast of Saltpond. Finally, the study recommended the implementation of three principal sea erosion mitigation strategies; Integrated Coastal Development Planning, Building of Sea Defence Wall, and Combined Mitigation Measures.

Texto completoResumen
This paper discusses the key aspects of the recent Coastal Plan of the Veneto Region (IT). Its aim is to propose a single mitigation strategy for coastal erosion that is valid for the whole Veneto Region, and possibly elsewhere, as well as a method to assign a priority level to any action. The suggested mitigation action against erosion depends on urbanization level, beach width, as well as cross-shore and long-shore sediment transport. The criterion used to give a priority level to mitigation actions is based on a vulnerability index that takes into account erosive tendency, existing coastal flooding hazards, coast value, environmental relevance, tourist pressure, urbanization level, the presence of production activities, and cultural heritage. A sample case featuring the littoral of Rosolina is also provided and includes a site description, the sediment budget, critical issues and possible mitigation measures.

Texto completoResumen
We studied the effects of three soil management approaches (permanent grassing, chemical weeding, and buffer strips), and the additional impact of tractor passage on soil erosion in a sloping vineyard located in the inner part of Aosta Valley (N-W Italian Alps). The vineyard rows were equipped with a sediment collection system with channels and barrel tanks. A total of 12 events with sediment production were observed across 6 years, and the collected sediments were weighted and analyzed. Average erosion rates ranged from negligible (mainly in grassed rows) to 1.1 t ha−1 per event (after weeding). The most erosive event occurred in July 2015, with a total rainfall of 32.2 mm, of which 20.1 were recorded in 1 h. Despite the limited number of erosive events observed, and the low measured erosion rates, permanent grassing reduced soil erosion considerably with respect to weeding; buffering had a comparable effect to grassing. The tractor passage, independent of the soil management approaches adopted, visibly accelerated the erosion process. The collected sediments were highly enriched in organic C, total N, and fine size fractions, indicating a potential loss of fertility over time. Despite the measured erosion rates being low over the experiment’s duration, more severe events are well documented in the recent past, and the number of intense storms is likely to increase due to climate change. Thus, the potential effects of erosion in the medium and long term need to be limited to a minimum rate of soil loss. Our experiment helped to compare soil losses by erosion under different soil management practices, including permanent grassing, i.e., a nature-based erosion mitigation measure. The results of the research can provide useful indications for planners and practitioners in similar regions, for sustainable, cross-sectoral soil management, and the enhancement of soil ecosystem services.

Texto completoResumen
The economic and social importance of coastal areas combined with their growing erosion problems and climate change impacts allows anticipating an increase in investments in these areas. In the past, strategies to mitigate territorial losses or property damage have been mainly reactive, non-inclusive, non-participatory, and locked-in technical solutions. Moreover, cost-benefit assessments of Coastal and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) plans are still scarce, underused and poorly understood. So, the goal of this work is to contribute to a complete characterization of coastal erosion mitigation and climate change adaptation strategies and their implementation measures by considering a participatory approach that integrates medium to long-term perspectives, combining, simultaneously, social, environmental, economic and engineering dimensions, to help decision-makers implementing sustainable future-proof CCA strategies.

Abstract The rapid growth of agricultural plantations and climatic extremes has raised concerns pertaining to enhanced soil erosion. Soil erosion studies are still relatively limited in Malaysia. In this study, soil erosion in four sites such as high conservation value forests (HCVFs), logged forest (LF), mature oil palm (MOP), and mature rubber (MR) within the Kelantan River Basin was measured. A total of 3,207 measurements were conducted via the Modified Laser Erosion Bridge in all sites over 1 year. Results of soil erosion are 87.63, 25.45, 8.44, and 5.90 t ha−1 yr−1 for the HCVF, LF, MOP and MR, respectively – classified as very severe (HCVF), very high (LF), moderate (MP) and slight (MR) according to the Indian condition classification. Steep slope gradient (significant positive correlation to erosion) and logging are the main factors attributed to the high erosion rates. This is to be further explored in the future and more detailed studies should be conducted on the HCVF and LF areas, respectively. Mitigation measures and sustainable agricultural practices should be planned to control and reduce soil erosion.

This study examines the soil erosion mitigation and adaptation techniques adopted in Mubi North and South LGAs of Adamawa State, Nigeria, focusing on their effectiveness in reducing vulnerability and improving livelihoods. The study utilized a survey research design, collecting quantitative data from 801 respondents selected through stratified random sampling. Data collection involved structured questionnaires, interviews, and observations to assess the erosion control measures, cropping methods, and government and NGO interventions. Descriptive statistics and ANOVA were applied to analyze the data, with results indicating significant differences in soil erosion across communities (p < 0.000). Key findings show that ridge and mound-making (92.6%) is the dominant cropping method, followed by terracing (48.2%) and composting (36.1%) as primary erosion control measures. Common mitigation practices include opening waterways (40.7%) and breaking up channels (37.0%). While government and NGO involvement is acknowledged by 67.9% of respondents, the study also found significant differences in soil erosion severity across the study area, emphasizing the need for localized intervention strategies. The ANOVA results revealed that local government area and community variables significantly impacted soil erosion. These findings highlight the importance of tailored interventions, greater diversification of soil conservation practices, and the strengthening of community-based approaches. The study concludes by recommending increased awareness, government support, and further research into sustainable practices for effective soil erosion management.

Texto completoResumen
Abstract A computer program can help managers anticipate erosion and sediment delivery attributable to forest roads. The watershed version of the water erosion prediction project (WEPP) predicts road erosion rates within the observed range but overestimates sediment plume lengths. The predicted sources of sediment from an insloping road are mainly from the road ditch and the downslope channel; less sediment comes from the traveled way and the cutslope. Mitigation measures to minimize ditch erosion and channel flow rates will have the greatest effects on reducing sediment delivered from insloped forest roads.

Texto completoResumen
Soil reinforcement using geocells and vegetation is one of the best forms of soil protection for shallow slope failure control. The geocell supports the vegetation growth and the vegetation cover provides protection against the surface erosion. This work proposed a soil treatment method using geocells for supporting the vegetation growth and stabilizing the shallow slope. A step-by-step installation of the geocells in the field and the development of vegetation growth were also described. The authors developed nine physical models that were reinforced with different sized geocell structures (no reinforcement and small and large geocell reinforcement). The models were placed under three rainfall intensities (50, 75, and 100 mm/h). The stability of the slope under the rainfall and the performance of the geocell reinforcement were assessed from the the development of slope failures, the soil erosion and the slope displacement. The results showed that the stability of geocell reinforced slopes were better off than the unsupported slope. The small geocell-reinforced slopes showed less measured soil erosion and also smaller slope displacement. In general, small geocells outperformed large geocells in terms of the erosion control and slope stabilization. The rainfall intensity dramatically increased the soil erosion on slopes. The geocell- and vegetation-treated slope in the field showed good resistance against the surface erosion.

This study assessed the effects of climate change on fluted pumpkin production and mitigation/adaptation measures used by farmers in Itu District, Itu LGA of Akwa Ibom State in Southern Nigeria. Random sampling and purposive sampling techniques were adopted for the selection of respondents comprising 100 fluted pumpkin farmers; 10 from each of the 10 communities that make up Itu District. FGD was used to elicit data on effects of climate change on fluted pumpkin production and climate change mitigation/adaptation measures. The study found the farmers perceived low yield of fluted pumpkin, loss of soil fertility, erosion, and declining family income as the major effects of climate change on fluted pumpkin production. Combination of fluted pumpkin production with other income generating activities was also found to be the most widely used mitigation/adaptation measure. The study recommended government effort through agricultural extension services and agricultural development programmes to mitigate/adapt climate change impacts by adopting improved varieties of fluted pumpkin seedlings, agricultural diversification, accurate and timely weather forecasting, use of cover crops, and disseminating up-to-date climate change information. Formation of co-operative societies among farmers to pool resources to fight the effects of climate change was also encouraged.

Texto completoResumen
As a shoreline erosion mitigation measure, nearshore reefs have attracted increasing attention. Nearshore reefs are wide submerged porous structures with mild natural slopes constructed in shallow nearshore waters. These reefs mitigate shoreline erosion by managing wave energy through a variety of wave transformation processes (e.g., refraction and energy dissipation through breaking and internal turbulence and friction). Wave attenuation over solid impermeable structures have been widely studied (e.g., Gurley 1994; Chella et al., 2015; Lowe et al., 2022). On the other hand, details of wave transformation over wide porous reef structures and the corresponding rate of wave energy dissipation are yet to be understood. The goal of this study is to develop a better understanding of how waves interact with porous nearshore reefs using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).

Soil erosion and surface runoff on forest road slopes are major environmental concerns, especially in harvested areas, making effective mitigation strategies essential for sustainable forest management. The study compared the effectiveness of three selected woody species on forest road slopes as a possible mitigating action for runoff and soil erosion in harvested sites. Plots measuring 2 m × 3 m were set up with three species—alder (Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn.), medlar (Mespilus germanica L.) and hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna Jacq.)—on the slopes of forest roads. Within each plot, root abundance, root density, canopy percentage, canopy height, herbaceous cover percentage, and selected soil characteristics were measured and analyzed. Root frequency and Root Area Ratio (the ratio between the area occupied by roots in a unit area of soil) measurements were conducted by excavating 50 × 50 cm soil profiles at a 10-cm distance from the base of each plant in the four cardinal directions. The highest root abundance and RAR values were found in hawthorn, followed by alder and medlar in both cases. The same order of magnitude was evidenced in runoff (255.42 mL m−2 in hawthorn followed by 176.81 mL m−2 in alder and 67.36 mL m−2 in medlar) and the reverse order in terms of soil erosion (8.23 g m−2 in hawthorn compared to 22.5 g m−2 in alder and 50.24 g m−2 in medlar). The results of the study confirm that using plant species with dense and deep roots, especially hawthorn, significantly reduces runoff and erosion, offering a nature-based solution for sustainable forest road management. These results highlight the need for further research under diverse ecological and soil conditions to optimize species selection and improve erosion mitigation strategies.

This study was conducted in two gewogs (blocks) of Jarey and Thangrong under Lhuentse and Mongar districts in Eastern Bhutan to assess the farmer’s perception on the soil erosion, its causes, and adoption of Sustainable Land Management (SLM) practices. A total of 47 and 90 respondents from Jarey and Thangrong respectively who participated in the implementation of SLM measures were interviewed. Field observations were made where necessary. Data was analyzed using descriptive and chi-square test at significance level of p<0.05 and presented in tabular or graphical representations. The study revealed that farmers have a good knowledge on identifying the indicators, causes, severity of soil erosion including positive impact from implementation of SLM measures. A significantly high proportion of farmers in Jarey (97.87%) and Thangrong (92.22%) perceived washing down of soil during rainy season as main indicator of soil erosion. Similarly, significant proportion of the respondents (95.74% and 93.33%) from two gewogs indicated heavy rain as main cause of soil erosion besides cultivation on the steep slope (91.49% and 90%). Further, 76% and 56% of the respondents in Jarey and Thangrong respectively perceived high soil erosion, whereas only 15.89% and 15.56% have witnessed low rate of soil erosion. Significantly higher proportion of respondents in Jarey (85.11%) and Thangrong (90%) observed reduced soil erosion after implementing the SLM measures. About 29.79% of farmers in Jarey faced labor shortage while 38.89% of farmers in Thangrong perceived no immediate benefit from SLM measures. High proportion of farmers in Jarey (96.25%) indicated the need of financial support from government and 95.64% of respondents in Thangrong expressed the financial and short-term interventions (seed and seedlings) assistance for scaling out SLM in future. This study recommends community consultation through participatory approach to raise awareness and design appropriate SLM interventions based on local context and also taking into account incentive package to address short term livelihood needs of the farmers, which otherwise is difficult to achieve due to long gestation period of SLM interventions.

Texto completoResumen
Population increase and the demand for infrastructure development such as construction of highways and road widening are intangible, leading up to mass land clearing. As flat terrains become scarce, infrastructure expansions have moved on to hilly terrains, cutting through slopes and forests. Unvegetated or bare slopes are prone to erosion due to the lack of or insufficient surface cover. The combination of exposed slope, uncontrolled slope management practices, poor slope planning and high rainfall as in Malaysia could steer towards slope failures which then results in landslides under acute situation. Moreover, due to the tropical weather, the soils undergo intense chemical weathering and leaching that elevates soil erosion and surface runoff. Mitigation measures are vital to address slope failures as they lead to economic loss and loss of lives. Since there is minimal or limited information and investigations on slope stabilization methods in Malaysia, this review deciphers into the current slope management practices such as geotextiles, brush layering, live poles, rock buttress and concrete structures. However, these methods have their drawbacks. Thus, as a way forward, we highlight the potential application of soil bioengineering methods especially on the use of whole plants. Here, we discuss the general attributions of a plant in slope stabilization including its mechanical, hydrological and hydraulic effects. Subsequently, we focus on species selection, and engineering properties of vegetation especially rooting structures and architecture. Finally, the review will dissect and assess the ecological principles for vegetation establishment with an emphasis on adopting the mix-culture approach as a slope failure mitigation measure. Nevertheless, the use of soil bioengineering is limited to low to moderate risk slopes only, while in high-risk slopes, the use of traditional engineering measure is deemed more appropriate and remain to be the solution for slope stabilization.

Soil erosion is the primary factor inducing soil deterioration in large river basins. Management and conservation of the soil erosion of the red bed desert, a unique gully landform shaped by intensive weathering and hydraulic erosion under the humid climate in south-eastern China, is crucial for its long-term sustainable development. This study, focusing on the Nanxiong Basin, a representative area with red beds, applied Gaofen(Gf)-2 satellite images to the RUSLE Model to analyze soil erosion modulus before and after implementing treatment for soil erosion control. We qualified the volume of soil erosion and mapped the spatial erosion variability in the basin. The results exhibited a decrease in the average erosion modulus from 3943.56 t·km−2·yr−1 to 2023.1 t·km−2·yr−1, which caused a reduction in total soil loss from 4.64 million tons to 2.38 million tons after treatment, with a reduction of about 48.7%. The mitigation reduced soil erosion from a moderate level to a light level. The areas that integrated soil and water conservation practices (SWCP) with management measures showed evident improvement in soil erosion, with a dramatic reduction in areas with annual erosion of a strong level (5000~8000 t·km−2·yr−1), extremely strong level (8000~15,000 t·km−2·yr−1), and severe level (>15,000 t·km−2·yr−1). Despite spatial heterogeneity in soil erosion intensity in the basin, this study demonstrates the great performance of SWCP in mitigating red bed degradation. The study provides a solid scientific basis for soil erosion control using ecological engineering in the Nanxiong Basin. It can also serve as an illustrative case study for further applications on soil erosion assessment in similar small basins.

Texto completoResumen
Coastal erosion can be found on almost all of Malaysia's beaches, but it is particularly prevalent on the country's east coast. The problem of coastal erosion has been resolved through the use of a variety of methods and treatments that are tailored to the severity of the erosion. It is critical for coastal managers and responsible agencies to have an index of erosion that can be used as a guide in determining the level of erosion in a given area in order to design the appropriate mitigation and treatment measures. It is necessary to identify and categorize the factors contributing to coastal erosion. This study employed a literature review and expert feedback questionnaires to identify the primary factors contributing to coastal erosion. This paper put forward the combining method of the AHP and neural network for evaluating the weights of each influential parameter to coastal erosion. As a result of the analysis, AHP discovered that coastal structure was the most influential factor influencing coastal erosion, followed by human activity, waves, and wind with weights of 0.5333, 0.2404, 0.1804, and 0.0459, respectively, whereas ANN analysis also discovered that coastal structure was the most influential factor influencing erosion, followed by human activity, wind, and waves with weights of 0.612, 0.232, 0.082, and 0.074, respectively. Despite the fact that the results of the two analyses were quite different in terms of weights values, the results of both analyses allowed us to determine which factors are the most important in terms of erosion. The weighted application of these factors will be an additional guide to existing guidelines such as NCES and ISMP in evaluating appropriate coastal mitigation and planning strategies. The outcome of this study also able to enhance the coastal management in terms of being the early reference of coastal manager and stakeholders in developing or managing coastal areas.

Abstract Khenifra region is rich in geological resources, which attracted a lot of investment, especially the quarrying. The Grou River watershed contains a lot of quarries of alluvial material extraction which causes negative impacts on its environment such as landscape modification, water quality degradation, dust emission and, soil erosion. The evaluation of water quality by measuring physicochemical parameters showed a deterioration of its quality in the downstream area compared to the upstream area. To respond to this situation, we suggest a set of mitigation measure and propose the respect of monitoring and surveillance plans.

Texto completoResumen
Surface mining in the southeastern Gobi Desert has significant environmental impacts, primarily due to the creation of large coal piles that are highly susceptible to aeolian processes. Using spaceborne remote sensing and numerical simulations, we investigated erosional processes and their environmental impacts. Our primary tool was Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data from Sentinel-1 imagery collected between 2017 and 2022. We analyzed these data using phase angle information from the Small Baseline InSAR time series framework. The time series analyses revealed intensive aeolian erosion in the coal piles, represented as thin deformation patterns along the potential pathways of aerodynamic transportation. Further analysis of multispectral data, combined with correlations between wind patterns and trajectory simulations, highlighted the detrimental impact of coal dust on the surrounding environment and the mechanism of aeolian erosion. The lack of mitigation measures, such as water spray, appeared to exacerbate erosion and dust generation. This study demonstrates the feasibility of using publicly available remote sensing data to monitor coal mining activities and their environmental hazards. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of coal dust generation processes in surface mining operations as well as the aeolian erosion mechanism in desert environments.

Texto completoResumen
Abstract The segment of the Tien River flowing through Tan Chau town is a meandering section with complex flow patterns, influenced by the flow dynamics and the lack of upstream sediment supply. This has resulted in the formation of deep erosional channels that affect the bank stability. This study focuses on evaluating the bed change of the Tien River within Tan Chau town through the analysis of measurement data and some scenarios from numerical modeling. The findings reveal that the Tan Chau - Hong Ngu curved section experiences severe channel erosion, particularly concentrated in the topographic channel and inclined towards the concave bank of Tan Chau (the inner bank). An analysis of causative factors indicates that reduced sediment supply due to dam construction and sand mining activities have led to changes in the riverbed, deeper erosion, and bank erosion near the sand mining area. The results quantifies the sediment deficit in the area at 0.86%, while the impact of sand mining in this area is 0.26%. The findings from this research provide a database to support local planning for bank protection projects and disaster mitigation measures due to bank erosion.

The article considers the probability of the intensity of the erosion process and the prerequisites for its mitigation and control. The results of the research prove that soil erosion is based on natural and anthropogenic factors. The main objectives of the study were to determine the amount and level of development of worn and erosion-prone soils in the foothills of the country, where it is very difficult to develop on the slope soils of Upper Shirvani. Therefore, in this connection, the tasks are solved, taking into account the requirements of preserving the ecological situation in the example of the Shamakhi district of the Upper Shirvan zone of the Republic of Azerbaijan, where the areas of its potential danger are identified and the preconditions for its prevention are given.

Texto completoResumen
In South-Eastern Nigeria, particularly in Anambra State, gully erosion presents a serious environmental challenge. With over 100 gully sites in the state, only about 30 have received measures of control but are still not fully under control. Observations have shown clearly that the underlying geology exerts major control over the development of gully erosion in the study area. Progressive gullies in certain areas of Anambra State are caused by various factors, including topography, soil and water pH, lithology type, deforestation, hydrogeology, and geotechnical rock properties. This erosion activity has resulted in the loss of productive lands, water pollution, sedimentation of waterways, and the loss of lives and properties almost every year. However, several government agencies have attempted to manage it using concrete structures, stabilization work such as planting bamboo and cashew trees to increase water intake, and pipe structures to channel the water directly to nearby surface waters through the construction of check dams, embankments, and retention ponds to control the flow of water and sediments. Despite these control efforts, several challenges persist in effectively managing gully erosion in Anambra State. Majority of the concrete structures used to control these gullies have collapsed, leading to the incessant spreading of the site. Inadequate funding, failure of engineering structures, flooding, the geologic setting of the area, limited technical expertise, population growth, urbanisation, a lack of public awareness, and a lack of proper coordination among stakeholders hinder the implementation of comprehensive erosion control measures. It is recommended that concrete drainage channels should not only be used in controlling these gullies but also be integrated with other measures to yield a positive result.

Texto completoResumen
This work aims to provide a more complete characterization of coastal erosion mitigation and climate change adaptation measures by presenting a participatory approach that integrates medium- to long-term perspectives, considering simultaneously social, environmental, economic and engineering dimensions to help decision makers implement sustainable climate change adaptation (CCA) strategies. The work lists, explains and characterizes existing climate change mitigation and adaptation measures as well as their costs and positive and negative social, environmental and economic impacts, in three distinct databases. These databases are discussed, complemented and validated in participatory moments with local stakeholders of the Ovar Municipality, Portugal, which represents the case study to support the proposed methodology. Although Ovar is a pilot case, the integrated framework for resilient CCA has a global application with respect to methodologies and concepts. The proposed approach is useful to help coastal management entities to engage in more efficient, effective and beneficial planned action to mitigate coastal erosion and adapt to future climate change effects. The open-source databases and the participatory approach facilitate decision makers and coastal communities to navigate the complexity of solutions and build consensus around collective actions for coastal areas.

The Standing Technical Committees on Disaster Risk Management (CDRM) of the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO) play an important role in collecting and disseminating DRM-related information and knowledge that will conceivably help engineering society members take effective disaster mitigation measures. As part of achieving this mission, the CDRM conducted two important 2015 events – the WFEO-CDRM Special Session on Disaster Risk Management at the 11th International Conference of the International Institute for Infrastructure Resilience and Reconstruction (I3R2) (I3R2 session) held in Seoul, Korea, and the 9th Joint International Symposium on Disaster Risk Management conducted in conjunction with the International Symposium on River Technologies for Innovations and Social Systems held in the 2015 World Engineering Conference and Convention (WECC2015) in Kyoto, Japan (WECC2015 symposium). The I3R2 session featured seven presentations. During the first half, disaster-cause papers covered high typhoon tides, earthquakes, and rain-induced soil erosion. The second half focused on mitigation-measure presentations such as recovery/reconstruction and regional support for mothers and children in the event of disasters. The WECC2015 symposium featured ten presentations by ten speakers with widely varied backgrounds in disaster mitigation, river engineering, international cooperation, UNESCO regional centers, NPO management, science and technology sections at embassies, and ferry and resort complex management. These informative, meaningful presentations close with active and informative Q&A sessions. In this special issue, five presentations that were revised as a form of academic paper were selected and published. I hope that these papers will be utilized for further advancement of disaster mitigation measures.

Texto completoResumen
Soil erosion is one of the major processes degrading the natural environment but also agricultural production areas. Soil erosion may lead to soil organic carbon (SOC) loss, especially from sloping agricultural terrain units. The use of phytomelioration in environmental management, particularly long-term, permanent forest vegetation, is widely recognized as a possible measure for soil erosion protection and mitigation of climate change through carbon sequestration. The aim of this study was to compare of the topsoil organic carbon stocks on the slopes under soil-protecting forests in relation to the adjacent agricultural slopes. The research was conducted in the young glacial landscape of North-Central Poland. The study indicated the significant role of forest management on the increase of soil organic matter content and SOC stock. The results show that land use and slope gradients are important factors controlling soil organic carbon pools in topsoil in young glacial areas. This topic is extremely important particularly as the effects of climate change become more and more visible, and society faces new challenges in preventing these changes.

The adoption of green features in the built environment has emerged as a promising pathway towards climate change mitigation. This article explored the role of green features in mitigating climate change concerns within the Nigerian context, with a focus on the case study of Gombe State University (GSU) as a case study. The study employed a multiple approach, including literature review, case study analysis, and content analysis of relevant documents, to investigate the implementation of sustainable sustainability initiatives at GSU. Key findings from the study revealed that GSU has made a significant stride towards climate change mitigation by successfully implemented various green initiatives, including afforestation, erosion control measures, renewable energy integration, and eco-friendly waste management. Specifically, the university has planted over 3,000 seedlings (including 500 date palms and other fruit and non-fruit trees) and established a mini-animal zoo park for animal conservation. These efforts have greatly demonstrated an improved eco-friendly and conducive learning atmosphere and mitigate the effect of climate change and in return reduced the carbon footprint and erosion control. The research concluded by demonstrating that green features can be a successful strategy for Nigerian universities to combat climate change and create sustainable campuses. Thus, recommending integration of green features into institutional policies, increased awareness campaigns within the educational sector, encouraging renewable energy adoption, implementing comprehensive waste management strategies, and further research on optimizing green features for the Nigerian context. By embracing these recommendations, Nigerian universities can serve as models for climate change mitigation and sustainable development, contributing to the country's efforts to achieve SDGs Goals 13.

Texto completoResumen
The goal of this study was to study the soil loss caused by irrigation and rain run-off on sloping landscapes in Chui Valley of Kyrgyzstan and offering the erosion control and customized irrigation methods. We investigated soil moisture levels on sloped terrains to devise effective furrow irrigation strategies, analyzing moisture contours at various stages within furrows across different experimental setups using Dospekhov’s method. Our research results of the erosion-prone areas in the foothill zone of the Chui Valley has revealed that the primary causes of irrigation erosion are improper implementation of reclamation measures, inadequate agrotechnical methods for irrigated lands, unregulated water usage, poor irrigation quality, absence of emergency discharges, and a mismatch between irrigation equipment and methods with the region's natural and economic conditions. Soil erosion can cause significant damage to agricultural production and negatively impact land productivity. Our hypothesis that the steeper the slope, the higher the nutrient loss from the soil was supported by our experiments. This, in turn, has a detrimental effect on the living standards of the rural population, whose material well-being relies heavily on irrigated farming.

Texto completoResumen
This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of research on bank erosion and control measures, utilizing the Scopus database and VOSviewer software. Key terms such as “bank”, “erosion”, “control”, and “protection” frequently appear in the literature, underscoring their importance in studies on riverbank erosion. Since 2000, scientific production has steadily increased, particularly in disciplines such as Environmental Sciences and Earth and Planetary Sciences, driven by growing concerns about climate change and sustainable water resource management. Countries with substantial research resources, such as the United States and China, lead in the production of studies, reflecting their commitment to addressing this global issue. In parallel, the evaluation of erosion mitigation practices in Colombia revealed that, although effective techniques such as gabion walls and riparian vegetation exist, 40% of respondents do not implement specific measures. This lack of implementation is attributed to insufficient knowledge, limited resources, and misconceptions about the effectiveness of these techniques. The findings highlight the need to promote proven practices and enhance professional training. Future research should focus on developing more accurate predictive models, integrating interdisciplinary approaches, and assessing the impacts of climate change on bank erosion. Addressing barriers to applying effective techniques at the local level and improving access to resources and knowledge are critical steps to reducing bank erosion and ensuring sustainable water management.

Texto completoResumen
The Melawi watershed is increasingly burdened by environmental pressures stemming from rapid population growth and significant land-use transformations, which have intensified soil erosion processes. This study was undertaken to (a) estimate erosion rates and delineate erosion hazard levels through the application of the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) model integrated with Geographic Information System (GIS) tools, (b) identify the principal factors contributing to erosion, and (c) assess the applicability of conservation measures aimed at erosion mitigation. The research involved field surveys, laboratory analyses, and geospatial data processing to quantify the USLE parameters: rainfall erosivity (R), soil erodibility (K), slope length and steepness (LS), land cover (C), and conservation practices (P). Results indicate an average erosion rate of 275,099.17 tons per hectare per year, with moderate erosion hazard levels encompassing approximately 41% of the total study area. Despite these findings, a comprehensive evaluation of conservation strategies was constrained by the predominance of moderate erosion levels. Nevertheless, the outcomes of this study provide critical insights to inform regional land use policy and the development of targeted soil conservation initiatives.

Texto completoResumen
Between 1998 and 2002, six sites were established immediately after large wildfires in the western United States to determine the effectiveness of contour-felled log erosion barriers in mitigating post-wildfire runoff and erosion. In each pair of matched, burned, and small watersheds (1–13 ha), one was treated with contour-felled log erosion barriers and one was left untreated as a control. For 4 to 6 post-fire years, runoff and sediment yields were measured and correlated with rain properties. High-intensity rainfall produced most of the measured runoff and sediment yields except in the southern California site, where long-duration rain events produced most of the runoff and erosion. For small rain events (less than the 2-year return period for the 10-min duration), the runoff, peak flows, and sediment yields were lower in the treated watersheds than in the control watersheds, but there was no treatment effect for rain events with larger return periods. Improper installation and degradation over time reduced the effectiveness of contour-felled log erosion barriers. Rainfall characteristics and installation procedures should be carefully considered before choosing contour-felled log erosion barriers for post-fire hillslope stabilisation.

Purpose: this work aims to analyze the factors that contributed to the intensification of erosion in the Amazon region of Buriticupu (MA) and discuss possible forms of mitigation and control.
 
 Methods: urban area of the municipality was characterized and data on soil, pedology, relief, slope, use and occupation, economic activities developed, as well as satellite images, were collected. This information was used to analyze indicators of natural erosion processes, as well as the influence of human activities. Possible mitigation and control solutions were discussed.
 
 Results and discussion: it was found that several aspects contribute to the development of erosion phenomena in the region, such as soil type, slope and hydrology. In the case of the municipality under study, geoenvironmental factors favor the development of gullies. However, the main force has been the action of man in modifying the landscape and weakening the soil. It is understood that it is necessary to implement articulated biogeoengineering strategies, such as controlling the slope and stability of slopes, the water flow regime, plant restoration and environmental education strategies. With this, we can be successful in mitigating the phenomenon and preserving the landscape.
 
 Implications of the research: it is urgent to develop shared management measures between federated entities, organized civil society and the local population to map and regulate sustainable development, especially in Amazonian regions.
 
 Originality/value: in some Amazonian regions, as in the case of the municipality of Buriticupu (MA), the advancement of agricultural activities and urban development, associated with climate change, have significantly influenced the emergence and advancement of gullies, which can promote the disappearance of the built environment. These gullies are treated as more advanced soil erosion phenomena, serious and difficult to control and remediate. Although erosion is a problem that affects many regions in Brazil, there are still few studies that aim to investigate the causes of its appearance and the discussion about possible solutions applied to gullies in the Amazon region is unprecedented. Agricultural development has accelerated soil degradation and is an urgent problem to be debated.

Coastal areas facing increasing erosion are resorting to sand displacement strategies to mitigate the erosive impact, which is exacerbated by climate change. In the face of climate change, coastal managers are more frequently resorting to sand displacement strategies to recover eroding coastlines. These vulnerable coastal zones require innovative approaches to minimize the need for frequent sand replenishment, extend their effectiveness and lower their maintenance expenses. This study undertakes a comparison of four primary nourishment strategies—a conventional uniform nourishment technique and the placement of a single sand dune evaluated at three different positions—in contrast to a scenario where no intervention is carried out. The investigation employs the XBeach numerical model to assess the outcomes of these diverse strategies under both low- and high-energetic storm conditions. The case study is a degraded coastal beach in the Ebro Delta (Spain). The results reveal a significant decrease in erosion when the dune is positioned closest to the shoreline. However, this erosion mitigation effect diminishes as the dune is situated further inland. Conversely, the sand nourishment measure exhibits minimal fluctuations in the volume of eroded sand when compared to the scenario with no intervention.

Gully erosion is a form of severe land degradation, which is more pronounced in semi-arid and arid environments due to their vulnerable ecosystems. Establishing the causes and effects of gully erosion is therefore fundamental in policy formulation and resource allocation for up-scaling context-specific gully mitigation and rehabilitation measures. Thus, this study aimed at assessing the causes and effects of gully erosion in semi-arid region, in the North-West part of Kenya. A cross-sectional survey, field measurements, laboratory analysis, focus group discussions and key informants’ interviews were used to collect data on drivers and effects of gully erosion. Descriptive statistics and content analysis were used to analyze the data. From the findings, 60 % of the respondents reported deforestation as the main driver of gully erosion. Further, 37 and 34 % of the respondents reported surface runoff and steep slopes, respectively, as major drivers of gully erosion. Soils in the region had a high dispersion ratio, with values of between 0.3 and 0.9, making them highly erodible. About 66 and 55 % of the respondents reported that the major effects of gully erosion were reduction in arable land size and death of livestock due to fatal falls, respectively. Approximately 14 ha of arable land and 1,483,600 Mg of sediment have been lost to gully erosion at the rate of about 2,410 Mg ha-1 over a period of 45 years. The average growth rate and density of gullies in the study site stood at 154 Mg ha-1 yr-1 and 0.7 km km-2, respectively. Four people and about 100 cattle had died due to fatal falls into the deep gullies. Thus, there is an urgent need to rehabilitate existing gullies while mitigating occurrence of new gullies in the study area. This would convert existing badlands into hotspots of biodiversity.

Wildfire is known to create the pre-conditions leading to accelerated soil erosion. Unfortunately, its occurrence is expected to increase with climate change. The objective of this study was to assess the impacts of fire on runoff and soil erosion in a context of global change, and to evaluate the effectiveness of mulching as a post-fire erosion mitigation measure. For this, the long-term soil erosion model LandSoil was calibrated for a Mediterranean catchment in north-central Portugal that burnt in 2011. LandSoil was then applied for a 20-year period to quantify the separate and combined hydrological and erosion impacts of fire frequency and of post-fire mulching using four plausible site-specific land use and management scenarios (S1. business-as-usual, S2. market-oriented, S3. environmental protection and S4. sustainable trade-off) and an intermediate climate change scenario Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 by 2050. The obtained results showed that: (i) fire had a reduced impact on runoff generation in the studied catchment (<5%) but a marked impact on sediment yield (SY) by about 30%; (ii) eucalypt intensification combined with climate change and fires can increase SY by threefold and (iii) post-fire mulching, combined with riparian vegetation maintenance/restoration and reduced tillage at the landscape level, was highly effective to mitigate soil erosion under global change and associated, increased fire frequency (up to 50% reduction). This study shows how field monitoring data can be combined with numerical erosion modeling to segregate the prominent processes occurring in post forest fire conditions and find the best management pathways to meet international goals on achieving land degradation neutrality (LDN).

Soil carbon pools have a significant impact on the global carbon cycle and soil erosion caused by natural or human activities is one of the main drivers of changes in soil carbon sequestration. The present study aimed to estimate the carbon loss associated with soil loss in the watershed using remote sensing and GIS techniques. The study was carried out at the Central MPKV Campus Watershed, Rahuri, located in the rain shadow region of the Maharashtra state, India. The soil loss from the watershed was estimated using USLE model. The soil loss and carbon loss from the watershed were estimated before the implementation of conservation measures and after the implementation of conservation measures. It was found that the average annual soil loss from the watershed before and after conservation measures was 18.68 t/ha/yr and 9.41 t/ha/yr, respectively. Carbon loss was determined by soil loss rate, organic carbon content and the carbon enrichment ratio. The carbon loss from the watershed before and after conservation measures was 348.71 kgC/ha/yr and 205.52 kgC/ha/yr. The findings revealed that soil and carbon erosion was very severe on steep slopes without conservation measures and with limited vegetation cover. It was found that by reducing the carbon loss associated with soil loss, soil conservation measures not only aid in the conservation of natural resources but also serve as a climate change mitigation measure.

This study aims to evaluate soil erosion mitigation strategies in Poland’s agricultural landscapes by applying the Revised Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model to identify high-risk areas where excessive soil loss adversely affects agricultural sustainability and productivity. Scenario assessments were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of specific conservation practices—contour farming, reduced tillage, and cover crops—by simulating changes in the C-factor (cover-management factor) and P-factor (support practices factor) within the RUSLE framework. The research revealed heightened soil erosion rates during the summer months, particularly in regions with steep slopes and loess formations. Analysis indicated that annual soil loss from arable lands in Poland totals approximately 4.65 Mt yr−1 and that contour farming, reduced tillage, and cover crops could collectively reduce this amount by up to 47%, with the highest reduction observed during the summer period. These findings highlighted the urgent need for stakeholders to adopt sustainable land management strategies. By quantifying the impact of these management practices on soil erosion rates, the study provided insights into the effectiveness of soil conservation measures in reducing erosion risks within Poland’s agricultural landscapes. This study emphasizes the importance of adopting sustainable land management strategies to preserve soil integrity and maintain agricultural productivity in Poland.

Wind erosion is one of the major environmental problems in drylands. Identifying the dominant natural factors of wind erosion and using targeted treatment measures are the key steps in wind erosion control. Using Horqin Left Back Banner in China as a case study, we applied the revised wind erosion equation to simulate the spatial distribution of wind erosion in the semi-arid sandy area. Contribution assessment and constraint line analysis were used to investigate the contributions of driving forces to wind erosion changes. The results showed that the wind erosion in the whole area was reduced by 0.35 t/hm2·a from 2005 to 2016. The wind factor and vegetation coverage factor had dominant contributions to the wind erosion modulus and accounted for the erosion in 49.87% and 50.13% of the total area, respectively. In addition, the average wind speed exceeding the threshold and the number of occurrences exhibited significant correlations with the wind erosion severity. Meanwhile, the mitigation effects of vegetation coverage on wind erosion decreased with the increase in wind speed. The temporal mismatch between the wind speed and vegetation coverage was the main reason for the frequent severe wind erosion in spring. Reducing the spring wind speed through adding windbreaks would be an effective method for decreasing wind erosion in semi-arid areas.

Cemara Kembar Beach in North Sumatra faces significant natural disaster risks, including abrasion, erosion, flash floods, and the impacts of climate change. The area is directly exposed to the sea, which increases vulnerability. Public understanding of disaster mitigation is about 70%, based on informant data. This study aims to analyze disaster risks and public awareness of mitigation efforts. Conducted using qualitative methods in Sei Nagalawan Village, the research involved interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings highlight that coastal areas are highly susceptible to disasters due to natural and human factors. Coastal erosion, caused by continuous sea waves, threatens settlements, while tropical storms and strong winds often bring flash floods. Rising sea levels due to climate change and human activities, such as mangrove logging, exacerbate the region's vulnerability. Public awareness of environmental protection is still low, further increasing flood risks during heavy rainfall. The study concludes that the community faces significant risks, including abrasion and flash floods, worsened by environmental damage and climate change, particularly affecting local rice fields. Public awareness and disaster mitigation measures are insufficient, contributing to the region’s vulnerability. Strategies such as mangrove planting, environmental education, waste management, and early warning systems have been identified as vital for reducing disaster risks. Therefore, collaboration between the government and the community is essential to develop sustainable disaster risk mitigation programs and protect coastal ecosystems.
