Correction to: The Evolution of Historic Agroforestry Landscape in the Northern Apennines (Italy) and Its Consequences for Slope Geomorphic Processes (Land, (2023), 12, 5, (1054), 10.3390/land12051054)

Abstract

In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Figure 7 as published. The total soil loss results were not correct due to an error in the conversion of the data from Kg/m2·s to t ha−1 year−1. The corrected Figure 7 appears below. In the original publication, there was a mistake in Figure 8 as published. The total soil loss results were not correct due to an error in the conversion of the data from Kg/m2·s to t ha−1 year−1. The corrected Figure 8 appears below. In the original publication, there was a mistake in Table 2 as published. The total soil loss results indicated in Table 2 are not correct due to an error in the conversion of the data from Kg/m2·s to t ha−1 year−1. Furthermore, for the sake of clarity, ‘soil loss’ indicates the resulting amount of soil eroded/deposited in the area. Positive numbers indicate depositions, while negative numbers indicate erosion. The corrected Table 2 appears below. General Clarification: As suggested by the developers of r.landscape.evol, the USPED equation is best suited for modeling erosion and deposition on hillslopes and small gullies. However, it tends to significantly overpredict erosion/deposition in channels and streams. Nevertheless, the research goal was to display the trend variation of erosion/deposition processes according to different Land Use/Land Cover scenarios. In this regard, the r.landscape.evol module yielded invaluable results regarding the potential benefits of restoring historic agroforestry systems in the area to mitigate soil erosion processes. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
