Impact of Land Use Changes on the Erosion Processes of a Degraded Rural Landscape: An Analysis Based on High-Resolution DEMs, Historical Images, and Soil Erosion Models

Soil erosion is one of the major natural risk factors for developing high-value crops and an accurate estimation spatial distribution rates soil degradation can be crucial to prevent crop degradation. In this paper, we use comparisons between high-resolution DEMs models uncover short-term landscape evolution hazelnut yields, which are affected by incipient processes rill development. Maps initiation were extracted from analysis UAV-based multitemporal application models. A comparison such a historical orthophotos was carried out. Such shows how USPED model predicts, very reliably, where linear occurred. fact, reliable overlay erosive forms predicted those captured UAV images observed. Furthermore, land changes 1974 2020 characterized transition abandoned areas (1974) with cultivation (2020), has strong impact on landslide occurrence. data represent key tool both investigation hot-spots identification effective mitigation practices conservation.
