  abstract = {{I}ncreased soil erosion, pressure on agricultural land, and climate change highlight the need for new management methods to mitigate soil loss. {M}anagement strategies should utilize comparable data sets of long-term soil erosion monitoring across multiple environments. {A}daptive soil erosion management in regions with intense precipitation requires an understanding of inter-annual variability in sediment yield ({SY}) at regional scales. {H}ere, a novel approach is proposed for analysing regional {SY}. {W}e aimed to (i) investigate factors controlling inter- and intra-annual {SY}, (ii) combine seasonality and time compression analyses to explore {SY} variability and (iii) discuss management implications for different {M}editerranean environments. {C}ontinuous {SY} measurements totalling 104years for eight small catchments were used to describe {SY} variability, which ranged from 0 to 271t/ha/year and 0 to 116t/ha/month. {M}aximum {SY} occurs in spring to summer for catchments with oceanic climates, while semi-arid or dry summer climates experience {SY} minimums. {W}e identified three time compression patterns at each time scale. {T}ime compression was most intense for catchments with minimum {SY} in spring to summer. {L}ow time compression was linked to very high soil loss, low run-off and sediment production thresholds, and high connectivity. {R}eforestation, grassland and terracing changed {SY} magnitudes and time compression, but failed to reduce {SY} for large storm events. {P}eriods with a high probability of high {SY} were identified using a combination of intra-annual {SY} variability, seasonality analysis, and time compression analysis. {F}ocusing management practices on monthly flow events, which account for the majority of {SY}, will optimise returns in {M}editerranean catchments.},
