Catchment erosion, channel erosion and sediment transport are connected processes within fluvial system forming a sediment cascade. Studies related to connectivity between a specific source and its multiple sinks within catchment, and rivers, and their multiple impacts have expanded in scope and sophistication during the last two decades, and were recently broadly presented at numerous international conferences and workshops. The International conference on transboundary catchment erosion and pollution problems was held in Belgrade, Serbia, in July 2023. The outcome of this conference as comprehensive literature review on the topic initiated this review which is aimed at classification the functional scheme of soil erosion, channel processes and sediment transport, and their impacts which include natural hazards, river pollution and hydrogeochemistry, catchment management, and hazards prevention, and technologies. We summarize established and emerging papers related to both regional studies on catchment erosion and management, as well as channel processes modelling and hydrogeochemical impact in streams and rivers. Finally, we discuss future directions and challenges to bridge scientific and management gaps by promoting a holistic understanding of river systems and catchment conditions.
