Are ditch networks optimised for mitigating rill erosion in cultivated Mediterranean landscapes? A numerical experiment
Rill erosion frequently occurs in Mediterranean cultivated landscapes due to high rainfall intensities, low soil organic matter concentrations and low vegetation coverage. Among other rill erosion mitigation practices, farmers have historically built ditch networks to intercept runoff upstream of cultivated plots. However, the construction and maintenance of these ditches generate indirect cost...
متن کاملA non-Markovian model of rill erosion
We introduce a new model for rill erosion. We start with a network similar to that in the Discrete Web** and instantiate a dynamics which makes the process highly non-Markovian. The behavior of nodes in the streams is similar to the behavior of Polya urns with time-dependent input. In this paper we use a combination of rigorous arguments and simulation results.
متن کاملHow to Make a Barranco: Modeling Erosion and Land-Use in Mediterranean Landscapes
We use the hybrid modeling laboratory of the Mediterranean Landscape Dynamics (MedLanD) Project to simulate barranco incision in eastern Spain under different scenarios of natural and human environmental change. We carry out a series of modeling experiments set in the Rio Penaguila valley of northern Alicante Province. The MedLanD Modeling Laboratory (MML) is able to realistically simulate gull...
متن کاملInvestigation of Some Methodologies in Providing Erosion Maps of Surface, Rill and Gully and Erosion Features
Some methodologies were compared in providing erosion maps of surface, rill and gully and erosion features, in research which took place in the Varamin sub-basin, north-east Tehran, Iran. A photomorphic unit map was produced from processed satellite images, and four other maps were prepared by the integration of different data layers, including slope, plant cover, geology, land use, rocks erodi...
متن کاملRill Erosion on Compost Blankets under Concentrated Flow Conditions
A flume study was conducted using a soil, yard waste compost, and an erosion control compost to investigate the response to concentrated flow and determine if the shear stress model could be used to describe the response. Yard waste compost (YWC) and the bare Cecil soil (CS) control responded to concentrated laboratory runoff similarly in rill formation, and the shear stress model was useful in...
