Check the Soil Yield Stress in Situations with different Slope on a Hill Slope with Pasture Cover with the Occurrence Sulification Erosion

Authors

Abstract:

One of the most important types of water erosion, is massive erosion. Soils with fine particles (especially silt particles) have little stability against erosion, because they have more water holding capacity and thus increase the saturation moisture and the likelihood of this type of erosion. So In this study, to investigate the relationship between particle size of silt, with behavior and rheological properties of soil in the rabor region of Kerman province, three profiles were studied respectively, at the top of the slope, middle slope and down hill slope. After identifying the soil layers, soil sampling was conducted at various depths. Then some physical and chemical characteristics of the soil, Includes equivalent calcium carbonate, sand, clay, silt, silt components, saturated moisture content and psychological limits was measured in triplicates. The rheological tests such as yield stress and viscosity were also performed to determine the flow behavior of the soil. The results showed that in the study area are high erodibility index position of the bottom and top of hill slope (k=0/54 down the slope and k=0/52 above the slope. The soil profile at the top of hill slope had the highest amount of coarse (28.33%) and saturation moisture (57.29%) and the lowest amount of clay (16.45%). Subsequently it had shear stress much lower than the position of the tilt tolerance and thus faster flow decreases. The shear stress was much lower than the position of the tilt tolerance. The best model to predict the flow behavior of soil was herschel-bulkley model, which has a higher coefficient of determination (R2>0.90) and lower SD than the Bingham and Kasson models. The results also showed that all samples have thixotropic behavior. The fine silt and calcium carbonate equivalent affected behavior and thixotropic properties. The fine silt mostly influnced the shear stress while the calcium carbonate equivalent affected the recovery process structure, viscosity and yield stress and yield stress was a good criterion for predicting soil behavior against sulification erosion and identifying the critical points of this erosion.

Temporal Variation of Interrill Erosion Affected by Slope Gradient in Soils with Different Texture

The process of splash of soil particles by raindrops and their transport by splash or surface shallow flow is considered as interrill erosion, which can reduce soil fertility and cause pollution of surface water. This research was carried out to investigate the temporal variation of interrill erosion in different soils affected by surface slope. For this purpose, laboratory experiments were car...

Effect of natural land covers on runoff and soil loss at the hill slope scale

Erosion plots were selected for characterizing the effects of main natural factors on runoff and soil loss in a semi-arid region. These erosion plots with an area of 40 m2 are located in the Kakhk experimental watershed in Gonabad County of Khorasan-e Razave Province in the north-eastern Iran. Data acquired from 2008 to 2015 include slope, aspect, soil texture and land covers (canopy...

Surface gravel cover is an important factor for contoroling of soil erosion in dry area specially in area that plant can not grow because of excessive dryness and salinity. The objective of this study was investigation effect of different surface gravel cover on runoff and sediment yeild. For this porpose, 36 field plots with 20 meter length and 0.5 meter width at 3 percent slope were construct...
