In assessing the influence of climate change on soil erosion and sediment yield, Chen et al [9] illustrate an increase in these events under the A1B-climate change scenario
One of the most important transboundary rivers in China, the Lancang-Mekong River has been shown to cause major sediment loads in the last decade in Asian Rivers with a mean annual loss of 5350 t ha−1 year−1 [10]. This Special Issue aimed to contribute towards improving our knowledge and understanding on the processes and mechanics of soil erosion and landslides, as these are among the main natural disasters affecting the globe

Summary

Introduction

Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. In the wake of climate change, extreme storm events, catastrophic disasters (including soil erosion, debris and landslide formation, loss of life, etc.) have surged. Mohammed et al [7] and the sixth Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report [8] note with confidence that human-induced climate change is the dominant driver in sediment related natural disasters.
