Abstract

The influence of climate on soil erodibility is studied by means of aggregate stability measurements with the Emerson, drop impacts· (CND y TDI) and ultrasound (UD) tests along the Coll de Rates-Benidorm climatological gradient. The soils have a very high aggregate stability, and this is the reason why there are not clear differences between study zones. The different past land uses (forest fire, grazing, wood exploitation, etc.,) have induced the non existence of the influence of climate on soil erodibility.
