splash particle size distribution along the experimental flume under different rainfall intensities and slopes

Temporal variation of interrill erosion under different rainfall intensities in semi-arid soils

Interrill erosion can change during rainfall due to change of soil conditions. This research was carried out to investigate the temporal variation of interrill erosion in different soils under different rainfall intensities. For this purpose, laboratory experiments were carried out in three soil textures consists under three simulated rainfalls under slope of 10 percent in three replications...

Impact of Rainfall Microstructure on Erosivity and Splash Soil Erosion Under Simulated Rainfall

CHANGE OF SPLASH EROSION RATE IN RAINFALL DIFFERENT DURATION AND INTENSITY ON MARL SOILS

Splash erosion is recognized as the first stage in the process of erosion that results in bombardment of the soil's surface with rain drops. Two basic processes in soil erosion are the dispersion of soil particles by rain drops and the changes caused to the soil's structure, which are then moved by runoff. In this research, the effect of various rainfall intensity (60, 90 and 120 mm/hr) on the ...

Particle transport and transient storage along a stream-size gradient in the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest

The transport and deposition of fine particulate organic matter (FPOM) is an important flux linking upstream and downstream reaches of stream ecosystems. However, few studies have attempted to identify physical controls on particle transport. One reason has been the lack of relatively simple, inexpensive methods. We describe a new technique for measuring fine particle transport in streams using...

Variation of Soil Aggregation along the Weathering Gradient: Comparison of Grain Size Distribution under Different Disruptive Forces

The formation and stabilization of soil aggregates play a key role in soil functions. To date, few studies have been performed on the variation of soil aggregation with increasing soil weathering degree. Here, soil aggregation and its influencing factors along the weathering gradient were investigated. Six typical zonal soils (derived from similar parent materials) were sampled from temperate t...
