“…The surface elevation changebased method is able to detect the topographic changes over time. It relies on Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) that can be used as basic topographic information to derive morphometric attributes and quantify soil erosion and deposition rates (Martínez-Casasnovas and Sánchez-Bosch, 2000;Martínez-Casasnovas et al, 2002;Prosdocimi et al, 2015). Remote-sensing technologies have proven to facilitate significantly the creation of high-resolution DEMs (Aucelli et al, 2016;Tarolli, 2014;Tarolli et al, 2015), and the availability of DEMs at multiple scales in terms of resolution but also temporal coverage is becoming essential to the understanding of global issues, such sediment production and anthropogenic changes to the Earth system, among others .…”

Soil water erosion is a serious problem, especially in agricultural lands. Among these, vineyards deserve attention, because they constitute for the Mediterranean areas a type of land use affected by high soil losses. A significant problem related to the study of soil water erosion in these areas consists in the lack of a standardized procedure of collecting data and reporting results, mainly due to a variability among the measurement methods applied. Given this issue and the seriousness of soil water erosion in Mediterranean vineyards, this works aims to quantify the soil losses caused by simulated rainstorms, and compare them with each other depending on two different methodologies: (i) rainfall simulation and (ii) surface elevation change-based, relying on high-resolution Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) derived from a photogrammetric technique (Structure-from-Motion or SfM). The experiments were carried out in a typical Mediterranean vineyard, located in eastern Spain, at very fine scales. SfM data were obtained from one reflex camera and a smartphone built-in camera. An index of sediment connectivity was also applied to evaluate the potential effect of connectivity within the plots. DEMs derived from the smartphone and the reflex camera were comparable with each other in terms of accuracy and capability of estimating soil loss. Furthermore, soil loss estimated with the surface elevation change-based method resulted to be Contents lists available at ScienceDirectScience of the Total Environment j o u r n a l h o m e p a g e : w w w . e l s e v i e r . c o m / l o c a t e / s c i t o t e n v of the same order of magnitude of that one obtained with rainfall simulation, as long as the sediment connectivity within the plot was considered. High-resolution topography derived from SfM revealed to be essential in the sediment connectivity analysis and, therefore, in the estimation of eroded materials, when comparing them to those derived from the rainfall simulation methodology. The fact that smartphones built-in cameras could produce as much satisfying results as those derived from reflex cameras is a high value added for using SfM.

“…No resultan raros los eventos extremos, de elevada intensidad, que generan importantes tasas de erosión y escorrentía (Martínez-Casasnovas, Ramos, & Ribes, 2002). Usualmente, unos pocos eventos al año son responsables de gran parte de las pérdidas de suelo anuales (González-Hidalgo, Arrillaga, Peña, 2005;Ramos, 2016).…”
