Scale effect in USLE and WEPP application for soil erosion computation from three Sicilian basins
Accurate estimation of soil erosion due to water is very important in several environmental contexts, such as the assessment of potential soil loss from cultivated lands and the evaluation of the loss of water storage capacity in reservoirs due to sediment deposition. Several studies have been carried out to build models suitable to quantify the results of erosion processes. These models, calib...
متن کاملMulti-temporal Soil Erosion Risk Assessment in N. Chalkidiki Using a Modified Usle Raster Model
The aim of this work was to test a modified version of the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) for assessing the risks of erosion in N. Chalkidiki, Greece. USLE estimates the severity of erosion, thus assisting the decision process in selecting erosion control measures. Although USLE has several limitations, it was selected because it is the simplest approach while remaining robust, and it part...
متن کاملUSLE-Based Assessment of Soil Erosion by Water in the Nyabarongo River Catchment, Rwanda
Soil erosion has become a serious problem in recent decades due to unhalted trends of unsustainable land use practices. Assessment of soil erosion is a prominent tool in planning and conservation of soil and water resource ecosystems. The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) was applied to Nyabarongo River Catchment that drains about 8413.75 km² (33%) of the total Rwanda coverage and a small par...
متن کاملSoil erosion modelled with USLE and PESERA using QuickBird derived vegetation parameters in an alpine catchment
The focus of soil erosion research in the Alps has been in two categories: (i) on-sitemeasurements, which are rather small scale point measurements on selected plots often constrained to irrigation experiments or (ii) off-site quantification of sediment delivery at the outlet of the catchment. Results of both categories pointed towards the importance of an intact vegetation cover to prevent soi...
متن کاملQuantitative assessment of agricultural runoff and soil erosion using mathematical modeling: applications in the Mediterranean region.
Three mathematical models, the runoff curve number equation, the universal soil loss equation, and the mass response functions, were evaluated for predicting nonpoint source nutrient loading from agricultural watersheds of the Mediterranean region. These methodologies were applied to a catchment, the gulf of Gera Basin, that is a typical terrestrial ecosystem of the islands of the Aegean archip...
