چکیده

the runoff generation and soil erosion in the kechik watershed, golestan province, was assessed, using a designed and constructed portable rainfall simulator. treatments were applied on different land-uses, slopes and aspects as the most influential factors. results showed that land-use significantly affected runoff generation (13.35 l, 6.9 l, and 4.12 l, respectively for agriculture, forest and rangeland uses), however slope (7.7 l for class i; 9.23 l for class ii) and aspect (8.52 l for the northern aspects; 8.32 l for the southern aspects) did not have significant influence. all factors, significantly altered sediment concentration (agriculture 9.6 g l-1, forest 8.24 g l-1, and rangeland 5.26 g l-1; slope class i 6.6 g l-1 and slope class ii 8.7 g l-1; northern aspect 8.7 g l-1, and southern aspect 6.9 g l-1). agricultural fields generated the highest runoff and sediment under simulated rainfalls. rangeland and forest did not have significant runoff generation and sediment concentration. results showed that land-use management, especially in terms of agriculture, could not only hamper current erosion, but reduced further advancement of this encroaching phenomenon.

Soil loss and runoff generation in rangeland, rain-fed and abandoned rain-fed agriculture land-uses under simulated rainfall

Soil erosion is a global challenge, seriously threatening soil and water resources andenvironmental qualities. One of the important factors to consider in the process of runoffgeneration and soil erosion is the physical and chemical properties of soils under differentland-uses. The aim of this study is to estimate soil erosion and runoff in rangeland, rain-fedand abandoned rain-fed agriculture ...

The Effect of Land use and Soil Erosion on Soil Organic Carbon and Nitrogen Stock

  Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a principal component in soil quality assessment. Knowledge of SOC and total nitrogen (TN) stocks are important keys to understand the role of SOC in the global carbon cycle and, as a result, in the mitigation of global greenhouse effects. SOC and TN stocks are functions of the SOC concentration and the bulk density of the soil that are prone to changes, influe...

Relationship between topography, land use and soil moisture in loess hillslopes

The relationship between topography, land use, and topsoil moisture storage is investigated for a small catchment with undulating deep loess hilslopes in the south of the Netherlands. For a period of 10 months, soil moisture profiles have been measured weekly at 15 locations throughout the catchment. A Generalized Additive Model was employed to find relationships between the various factors inf...

Effects of Land Use on Soil Erosion and Nitrogen Loss in the Hilly Area of the Loess Plateau, China

This study examines the effects of land use and slope angle on runoff, soil loss and nitrogen loss from hillslopes of the Loess Plateau in China. Farmland, wasteland and four forest treatments (sea buckthornþ poplar, immature sea buckthorn, mature sea buckthorn, and immature Chinese pine) were the types of land use that were compared. The results showed that July was the critical period for run...
