Description
The data contain information on the effectiveness of natural infrastructure to mitigate soil erosion. Data were compiled from 118 case studies from the Andean region, whereby information on natural infrastructure interventions, soil erosion and soil quality were tabulated and analysed.
The data contains the following documents:
-Database with data on soil erosion, soil quality for different types of natural infrastructure (118 case studies)
-Metadata
-Summary of terms used in the systematic review of the literature (in Spanish and English)
-List of bibliographic data sources that were searched with the search terms
-Full bibliographic references of all 118 case studies
