  abstract = {{I}n {M}editerranean vineyard landscapes, to understand soil cover evolution at the landscape scale via soil redistribution, one must take into account soil and land use specificities. {S}oils are characterised by large quantities of rock fragments, and affect hydrological and erosion processes that have widely been published in the literature. {V}ineyards require a persistent cultivation pattern, and soil tillage operations can often affect vertical and lateral rock fragment distribution. {T}he aim of this study is to analyse rock fragment content and variability in the topsoil (0-15 cm) of a {M}editerranean vineyard to determine whether rock fragment distribution (2-64mm) at a farm plot is influenced by soil type and/or linked to environmental parameters. {F}urthermore, relationships between observed rock fragment distribution, tillage and water erosion processes are discussed. {T}he field survey was based on a stratified sampling strategy, taking into account soil type, cultivation patterns and farm plot topography. {T}he results suggest that the effect of cultivation in the row/inter-row system is more pronounced than the previously inferred topographic effect {T}he long-term vineyard cultivation pattern induces spatial segregation of redistribution processes, with cumulative effects over several years that are responsible for rock fragment spatial variability in topsoil.},
