This study investigates the effects of land use changes between 1956 and 2006 on runoff and soil erosion in two Mediterranean catchments (South Spain)with active gullies, by applying the RMMF Model and by comparing the erosion channel network from both years. Results underline the complexity of soil erosion dynamics in gullied catchments where a general increase in soil erosion due to land use changes can occur simultaneously with a decrease in erosion rates within the gully system.
