Abstract

This paper shows the results of water erosion rates monitoring in Andosols and Aridisolsin two contrasted bioclimatic regions in Tenerife island. Erosion mechanisms are different in both soiltypes and climatic zones, being basically related to rainfall dynamics and to the structural characteristicsof the soil surface, which has important consequences for the design of erosion control strategies and themanagement of water resources in both areas.
