摘要：AGIS-analysis was carried out in a test basin of southern Sicily, the Magazzolo River basin, in order toassess susceptibility conditions to gully erosion phenomena. The linear density of ephemeral and permanentgullies computed within each class of nine environmental variables was used to generate a gully erosion susceptibilitymap for the area.Avalidation procedure carried out in order to test the reliability of the adopted methodhighlighted a clear correlation between the occurrence of gullies and the computed susceptibility levels.
