The main factor for soil redistribution is runoff through the gully system triggeringthe selective removal of finer soil particles mobilized the rich carbon finefraction affects the depletion of soil particles and, therefore, SOC.

Settling velocity measurements provide direct information on soil aggregatedistribution with implications on soil and SOC transportability that can beused in soil erosion modelling.

The combination of the spatially distributed SPEROS-C model combinedwith 137Cs measurements is a potential tool to evaluate erosion inducedcarbon fluxes.
