| Zusammenfassung |
| In this paper we examined whether the recorded precipitation changes cause
erosion in Naxos Island, Greece using precipitation indices derived from
daily precipitation totals, during the period 1955–2007, in order to develop
an erosion risk model. Although the mean annual precipitation appear to be
low (~360.0 mm), the erosion processes of the area are very intense,
because of the intensive character of precipitation, the high slope relief,
the differential lithology and the absence of important land cover The
results of the analysis showed that the climatic changes in precipitation and
the changes in land cover and land use are the main drivers for the erosion.
This is why the 2nd (1971–1985) and 3rd (1986–2007) studied sub-periods may
be called of high erosion risk, and especially the second one mainly because
of the increased frequency of extreme precipitation events. |
