Earthworms are considered useful indicators for monitoring different farming practices, landscape structures and transformations because they respond quickly to land-use change. Many articles have been written on the effects of soil macrofauna (termites and earthworms) on soil properties and the functioning of ecosystems. These soil animals are usually considered to have a positive influence on soil organic matter decomposition and nutrient cycling. They increase the concentration of nutrients in their biogenic structures (casts, sheetings, nests, galleries etc.) and promote the growth and diversity of plants. However, there is a lack of data concerning their impact on tropical ecosystems with steep slopes. This study is part of the Management of Soil Erosion Consortium (MSEC) project, which examines the effects of land-use changes on soil erosion on a southeast Asian regional scale. The aim of the study was to evaluate the recovery potential of earthworms and their effects on soil conservation in areas where cassava crops were replaced by four different types of vegetation cover. It was conducted in an experimental watershed in Hoa Binh province, a mountainous area of northern Vietnam. Results showed that landuse change affects earthworm diversity and that this has significant consequences in terms of soil fertility, water infiltration and soil erosion. In plots planted with eucalyptus, large amounts of plant litter and probably higher soil moisture levels favour Pheretima leucocirca activity. These worms produce surface casts, which then became free aggregates, and galleries which are sometimes open at the surface. Casts, galleries and aggregates increase water infiltration and thus reduced water runoff and soil erosion. Cassava, fallow and fodder, however, favour Metaphire californica worms, which do not make casts. A soil crust is formed, which leads to a decrease in water infiltration and increased soil erosion. The data clearly shows that biological parameters such as earthworm diversity and activity must not be neglected in studies of the determinants of soil erosion after land-use change. Upland land-use systems with vegetation that produces lots of ground litter may help encourage beneficial worm species (such as Ph. leucocirca) and thus help reduce soil erosion and accelerate restoration of degraded land.

GIS-assisted distributed modelling is particularly useful for supplying information to decision-makers regarding land-use, water management and environmental protection. This study deals with the prediction of soil losses by a simple distributed and GIS-assisted model within a small experimental agricultural watershed on sloping lands in northern Vietnam (<1 km2). The Predict and Localise Erosion and Runoff (PLER) model predicts the spatial and temporal distribution of soil erosion rates; thus it can be used to identify erosion hot spots in a watershed. The model has been built specifically to take into account steep slopes. It is a conceptual erosion model on a physical base. Indeed, the model imitates soil erosion as a dynamic process which includes three phases: i) detachment, ii) transport and iii) deposition. In this study the PLER model was used for two complete years, 2003 and 2004. The disparity for the soil erosion quantity between the experiment and the run model was 5.1% in 2003 and 4.9% in 2004, even though these two years had a very different annual amount of rain. Indeed, 40% of the rainfall events were of a strong intensity (>75 mm hr-1) in 2003 as apposed to only 4% in 2004. The amount of rainfall in 2003 and 2004 was 1,583 mm and 1,353 mm, respectively. The PLER model took into account this discrepancy in the rainfall characteristics between the two years. Between April to September, the disparity fluctuates between just 4.7%-5.3%. The maps drawn by the PLER model underline that the erosion process occurs mainly at the top of the landscape and highlights a different behaviour for detachability and soil erosion between the western and the eastern parts of the studied watershed.

Developing models to predict on-site soil erosion and off-site sediment transport at the agricultural watershed scale represent an ongoing challenge in research today. This study attempts to simulate the daily discharge and sediment loss using a distributed model that combines surface and sub-surface runoffs in a small hilly watershed (< 1km2). The semi-quantitative model, Predict and Localize Erosion and Runoff (PLER), integrates theManning–Strickler equation to simulate runoff and the Griffith University Erosion System Template equation to simulate soil detachment, sediment storage and soil loss based on a map resolution of 30m 30m and over a daily time interval. By using a basic input data set and only two calibration coefficients based, respectively, on water velocity and soil detachment, the PLER model is easily applicable to different agricultural scenarios. The results indicate appropriate model performance and a high correlation between measured and predicted data with both Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (Ef) and correlation coefficient (r2) having values>0.9. With the simple input data needs, PLER model is a useful tool for daily runoff and soil erosion modeling in small hilly watersheds in humid tropical areas.
