Erosion and Sedimentation as Part of the Natural System1

چکیده
Associate Professor of Geomorphology, Department of Geography, California State University, Northridge. Abstract: Dividing exogenic processes into constituents enables one to distinguish between denudational and depositional environments. This distinction leads to the recognition that the chaparral assemblage occupies a zone which is predominantly denudational. A qualitative assessment of sane variables governing denudation rates is made. The factors associated with large sediment yields are all found in the chaparral watersheds of southern California.

Erodibility and sedimentation potential of marly formations at the watershed scale
Grupi and Kashkan marl formations comprise a considerable part of Zagros region. These formations have a considerable erodibility and sedimentation potential because of their special geological and mineralogical characteristics. The objective of this study was to compare the erosion and sediment yield of Kashkan and Grupi formations in Merk watershed located in southeast Kermanshah, using the M...

Generally the negative affects of any component part of a Watershed can evaluate in the intensity of its produced sediment and erosion. In any basin, the erosion amount is more than sediments, becase of eroded materials in the basin due to natural sedimentary traps. Therefore it is necessary to detemine the relationship between coefficent of sedimentation and physical parameters of any basin fo...
متن کاملEstimation of Stormwise Sediment Yield of Gully Erosion Using Important Rainfall Components in Different Land Uses of Zagros Forest, Iran
Erosion is one of the important social-economic problems in Iraniancatchments that have been posed by surface water vastness and runoff production. So, thestudy of water resources, soil erosion and effective factors is of high importance. Gullyerosion also extends in many parts of Iran and its study particularly in viewpoint ofsediment yield is therefore very important and should be taken into ...
متن کاملEstimation of annual erosion and sedimentation in Babolroud catchment using EPM and Fournier methods
One of the problems of controlling erosion and sedimentation in catchment areas is the lack of statistical data to accurately estimate the amount of sedimentation and erosion. In order to implement soil protection programs and determine methods to reduce sedimentation, it is necessary to estimate the total volume of annual sediment production. The purpose of this study is to estimate the erosio...
متن کاملEstimating sediment yield from a paved forest road (Asphalt) (Case study: Watershed Leyle, Ravansar)
Extended abstract 1- Introduction Forest roads are among the largest sediment transport sources to drainage network. So, estimating the sediments of the road network is an important factor in the evaluation of the impact of the road construction. One of the biggest problems caused by the road construction in the forest is the increase in various forms of erosion, such as Gully erosion and mas...
