“…Erosion and sediment transport have been evaluated by a variety of modelling methods. Models such as the Water Erosion Prediction Program (WEPP) (Laflen et al, 1991;Flanagan and Livingston, 1995) Loss Equation (RUSLE) (Onstad and Foster, 1975;Wischmeier and Smith, 1978;Renard et al, 1994) have been used to predict landform stability on natural hillslopes, agricultural fields and mine sites (Evans, 1992;Evans and Loch, 1996;Evans, 2000;Loch et al, 2000). Other researchers have used the EROSION 2D model to examine changes in precipitation intensities on soil loss (Michael et al, 2005).…”

“…Erosion can be determined by a variety of modelling methods. In mining applications, models such as WEPP (Laflen et al, 1991;Flanagan and Livingston, 1995), USLE, MUSLE and RUSLE (Onstad and Foster, 1975;Wischmeier and Smith, 1978;Renard et al, 1994) have been used (Riley, 1994(Riley, , 1995Evans and Riley, 1994;Evans and Loch, 1996;Evans, 2000;Loch et al, 2000). In this study we use the SIBERIA erosion model to predict sediment loss.…”

“…The SIBERIA erosion model (Willgoose et al, 1991a-d) has recently been used for erosion assessment of post-mining landforms (Willgoose and Riley, 1998;Hancock et al, 2000Hancock et al, , 2002Loch et al, 2000). SIBERIA is a physically based predictive model that can simulate the geomorphic evolution of landforms subjected to fluvial erosion and mass transport processes.…”

Nature can provide analogues for post-mining landscapes in terms of landscape stability and also in terms of the rehabilitated structure 'blending in' with the surrounding undisturbed landscape. In soil-mantled landscapes, hillslopes typically have a characteristic profile that has a convex upper hillslope profile with a concave profile lower down the slope. In this paper hillslope characteristic form is derived using the area-slope relationship from pre-mining topography at two sites in Western Australia. Using this relationship, concave hillslope profiles are constructed and compared to linear hillslopes in terms of sediment loss using the SIBERIA erosion model. It is found that concave hillslopes can reduce sediment loss by up to five times that of linear slopes. Concave slopes can therefore provide an alternative method for the construction of post-mining landscapes. An understanding of landscape geomorphological properties and the use of erosion models can greatly assist in the design of post-mining landscapes.

“…Experimental approaches are a common tool to understand geomorphodynamic surface processes, such as runoff generation and erosion at different scales and process intensities [33][34][35][36], to understand patterns of transport of solid and dissolved matter [37,38] and even for assessment of land use planning [39,40] and model parametrization [41]. Especially in Mediterranean and semi-arid landscapes, a vast collection of data has been generated with rainfall simulations on different surfaces and with different simulators (e.g., [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42]). Unfortunately, in Central Europe, there has been little experimental research with rainfall simulators available to help understand runoff generation in the low mountain ranges of Eifel and Hunsrück in the western part of Germany.…”

The Mosel Wine region has suffered during the last decades a decrease in productive area, mostly on steep sloping vineyards. To avoid the spread of diseases, the extraction of grapevines on abandoned vineyards is mandatory in Rhineland-Palatinate. At the same time, the organic production of wine is growing slowly, but well established in the area. We assess in this paper the degree of the land-use changes, as well as their effect on runoff generation and sediment production, depending on the age of the abandonment, as well as the type and age of the land management, whether organic or conventional. Land use data were obtained to identify land-use change dynamics. For assessment of runoff generation and soil erosion, we applied rainfall simulation experiments on the different types of vineyard management. These were organically managed, conventionally managed and abandoned ones, all of varying ages. During the last decades of the last century, a decrease of around 30% of vineyard surface could be observed in Germany’s Mosel Wine Region, affecting mostly the steep sloping vineyards. Despite a high variability within the types of vineyard management, the results show higher runoff generation, and soil erosion associated with recently installed or abandoned vineyards when compared to organic management of the vineyards, where erosion reached only 12%. In organic management, runoff and erosion are also reduced considerably, less than 16%, after a decade or more. Thus, organic vineyard management practices show to be very efficient for reduction of runoff and erosion. Consequently, we recommend to adopt as far as possible these soil management practices for sustainable land management of steep sloping vineyards. In addition, soil protection measures are highly recommended for vineyard abandonment according to the law.
