Summary: This study tested the accuracy and usability of grid order in predicting EG head locations at the regional scale compared to other commonly used topographic indexes. Results indicate that using grid order was acceptable at the regional scale even without model calibration, with predicted accuracy for all studied EGs within 20 meters of surveyed locations.

Summary: Ephemeral gullies are important erosion features that lead to significant soil loss and sediment production, mainly influenced by rainfall, slope, tillage, and crop management. Cross-slope cultivated areas are more susceptible to severe erosion compared to areas cultivated up and down the slope, with soybean fields experiencing more serious erosion than corn fields.

Summary: Gully mapping techniques can successfully identify gullies, but the practices for estimating gully volumes need further development. Gully gap-interpolation for volume estimation often does not consider landscape microtopography, leading to potential underestimation or overestimation of gully volumes.

Summary: This study conducted a regional research in Jefferson County, Illinois, USA, and used remote sensed environmental data to predict gully erosion susceptibility in agricultural land. The study identified key environmental factors contributing to gully erosion and emphasized the importance of high temporal resolution in improving model predictability.

Summary: The review identified key research areas in ephemeral gully (EG) erosion, including processes, factors, methodology, models, and detrimental effects. It highlighted the global consistency in the definition of EG. Urgency was emphasized in defining critical morphological values under different conditions for accurate mapping and modeling of EG development.

Summary: This study investigated how sediment concentration in upslope inflow influences downslope ephemeral gully (EG) erosion through field monitoring and indoor simulations. The results showed that higher sediment concentration in upslope inflow led to greater sediment delivery and erosion in EG systems. Both field observations and indoor simulations confirmed the transport-dominated sediment regime in EG systems.

Summary: Contour tillage is effective in increasing infiltration, reducing runoff, and protecting against soil erosion, but it can lead to the development of ephemeral gullies when gradients of contoured row slopes exceed critical values. This study investigates factors influencing ephemeral gully development on a contour tilled slope in northeastern China by monitoring gully development after heavy rainfall events. The study provides valuable information for predicting and preventing gully erosion on contoured tillage areas.

Summary: This study presents a novel technique for tracking sediments in gully erosion assessments by applying magnetite in the soil profile. A mixture of magnetite and water is applied over the soil surface, and then conventional tillage implements are used to redistribute the tracer in the soil profile. This application technique shows promise as an alternative to traditional methods for large-area sediment tracking.

Summary: This study analyzed the spatial-temporal evolution and development rate of ephemeral gully erosion at the watershed scale on the Loess Plateau using remote sensing images, unmanned aerial vehicles, and field investigations. The results showed a decrease in ephemeral gully numbers and varying growth rates of ephemeral gully frequency, length, density, dissection degree, and width. The V-L model was used to evaluate the development rate of ephemeral gully erosion volume, revealing an average value of 743.20 m3 year-1 from 2009 to 2021.

Summary: In this study, a systematic framework for optimizing multi-temporal terrestrial LiDAR surveys has been developed through pre-survey planning and field preparation phases. The framework uses visibility analysis to determine optimal TLS positions, and an automated TLS positioning tool is used for the selection process. Application and validation of the framework demonstrated its accuracy and reliability in detecting and quantifying erosion induced spatio-temporal changes.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of burial depth, soil cover condition, and tracer concentration on the magnetic signal of magnetite in soil erosion processes. Results showed that the magnetic signal intensity of the tracer decreases significantly with the vertical distance from the soil surface, and the maximum detection depth is influenced by the natural magnetic susceptibility of the soil. Soil moisture content variations did not have a significant effect on the magnetic signal. New tracer application techniques may be needed for extensive field studies due to high soil-tracer volume requirements.

Summary: Terracing of hillslopes can lead to gully erosion, as observed in the Black Soil Region of Northeast China. Improperly designed terraces can cause runoff concentration and eventually result in gully incision. Proper countermeasures are suggested to prevent further soil loss and land degradation on abandoned terraced hillslopes.

Summary: Water erosion has a significant impact on soil erosion intensity, and special terrains like gullies are often overlooked. This study investigates the effect of water erosion on carbon mineralization and finds that soil erosion intensity is positively correlated with cumulative mineralization of SOC. Soil macroaggregates play a significant role in SOC mineralization.
