“…Changes in the land use in different parts of Europe over the last 50 years have shown that a decrease in arable land leads to a large decrease in sediment load production [18,30,31]. In the basin, lowland areas are characterized as significant areas of agricultural production, where most of the population is also located, which is why the areas with intensive erosive processes are singled out here.…”

“…The Jablanica River is the tributary of the Južna Morava River, which stands out as a basin with the most intensive erosion processes in the Republic of Serbia [29]. A large number of studies on soil erosion in many parts of the Republic of Serbia were conducted in the past [30][31][32] but just a few of them attempted to correlate soil erosion with demographic and land use changes [24,33,34]. The studies used most common empirical method of Gavrilović [11,12,18,19,24,[34][35][36].…”

Changes in Soil Erosion Intensity Caused by Land Use and Demographic Changes in the Jablanica River Basin, Serbia

The aim of this research is to determine the change in the spatial distribution of erosion intensity in the territory of the Jablanica River Basin in the period 1971–2016 caused by land use and demographic changes. The Erosion Potential Method (EPM) was used to quantify changes in erosion intensity and to estimate the total annual sediment yield. The research results show that the value of the erosion coefficient decreased from 0.432 in 1971 to 0.360 in 2016. Specific annual gross erosion in the Jablanica River Basin was 654.41 m3/km2/year in 1971, while in 2016 it was 472.03 m3/km2/year. The analysis of proportional changes was used to determine demographic changes and land use patterns in the basin area. In terms of the scale and intensity of the erosion process, three types and one sub-type of population dynamics of settlements and land use changes were distinguished, respectively: progressive, stagnant, regressive and dominant regressive. It was concluded that the results show the significance of demographic and land use changes in the control of the intensity of erosion. The Soil Erosion Map may be useful to planners and land use managers to take appropriate decisions for soil conservation in the basin.

“…Previous studies in Serbia [22,31] have shown that the most significant controlling factors affecting soil erosion are the coefficient of soil protection (X) in the EPM model and the topography (LS) and land-use (C) factors in the USLE model. Certain research focused on the functional relationship between land-use changes and soil erosion intensity has shown a link between these processes and changes in the transport of suspended sediment at the long-term scale [32].…”

Agriculture Land Use Change and Demographic Change in Response to Decline Suspended Sediment in Južna Morava River Basin (Serbia)

et al. 2021

This study expounds the dynamic relationships among agricultural land-use change, rural population migration, and sediment transport. The variability of suspended sediment load was detected by Mann–Kendall and Pettitt tests. From 1961 to 2007, the annual trend in suspended sediment concentration and sediment load demonstrated significant reduction (α = 0.001), with decreasing rates of 0.0144 g/L/y and 84.7 t/y, respectively. An abrupt change-point was detected in 1984 for the sediment load (p = 0.0001). The double-mass curve method and regression analysis of sediment load versus precipitation were used to quantify the effects of climate change and human activities on sediment load variations. The changes in sediment load were predominantly impacted by human activities (89%), while precipitation explained 11% of the reduction in suspended sediment. An important land-use change recorded in the Južna Morava river basin comprised the abandonment of agricultural lands due to depopulation processes, as well as economic and social changes, which was followed by significant impacts on soil erosion and sediment transport. Land abandonment was most pronounced in marginal mountain or semi-mountainous areas, where agriculture was until recent decades traditional or semi-traditional. The results of the correlation matrix were significant at the p < 0.05 level, demonstrating that the decrease of rural population, agricultural land, and arable land were directly related to the decline of suspended sediment. High correlation coefficients were found between anthropogenic indicators and sediment parameters, ranging from 0.94 to 0.97.

Water erosion is among the largest and most crucial problems with soil loss and that is through land degradation in semi-arid regions and the North African areas are especially vulnerable to it. In addition, the EL-Mador Valley Basin is exposed to soil degradation due to climate and topographic properties as well as a human activity. In this scope, the aim of this study is to perform an evaluation of soil degradation hazards in the El-Mador Valley Basin by employing the equation RUSLE and the data of RS within a frame GIS. Furthermore, various raster layers have been designed to RUSLE parameters, such (R), (K), (LS), (C), and (P), and these inputs were merged into a GIS-based framework for measuring the degree of soil degradation. The results demonstrate the ranged values from 0 to > 2500 ton ha–1 year–1, with a geographical average of 54.80 ton ha–1 year–1. In addition, a soil erosion hazard map was created which was divided into five hazard categories: Low (56.56%), Moderate (13.88%), High (8.09%), Severe (8.82%), and Extreme (12.65%). Moreover, these results will be important to create mitigation strategies for regions where the soil loss is high, severe, and extreme, and also to assisting the local administration in setting priorities and basis for decision-makers to create suitable actions to decrease soil erosion hazards.
