Soil surface roughness: comparing old and new measuring methods and application in a soil erosion model

Change of Soil Surface Roughness of Splash Erosion Process

Towards the reproducibility in soil erosion modeling: a new Pan-European soil erosion map

Soil erosion by water is a widespread phenomenon throughout Europe and has the potentiality, with his on-site and off-site effects, to affect water quality, food security and floods. Despite the implementation of numerous and different models for estimating soil erosion by water in Europe, there is still a lack of harmonization of assessment methodologies. Often, different approaches result in ...

Soil erosion and sediment mapping in Aidoghmoush watershed appling MPSIAC model and GIS and RS technologies

Soil erosion is one of the important and worldwide environmental and economic issues. High amount of sediments accumulations behind the different structures such as dams requires several attempts to minimize their potential risks. Therefore, some quantified data will be needed in order to recognize those critical areas which requires urgent conservation. Since conventional procedures are time c...

Effect of soil surface roughness and scene components on soil surface bidirectional reflectance factor

Wang, Z., Coburn, C. A., Ren, X. and Teillet, P. M. 2012. Effect of soil surface roughness and scene components on soil surface BRF. Can. J. Soil Sci. 92: 297 313. Bidirectional Reflectance factor (BRF) data of both rough [surface roughness index (SRI) of 51%] and smooth soil surfaces (SRI of 5%) were acquired in the laboratory under 308 illumination zenith angle using a Specim V10E imaging spe...
