چکیده مقاله:

Soil erosion and sediment yield from watersheds confine sustainable use of land resources and is supposed as one of the most critical environmental issues. Prediction of storm wise soil erosion and sediment yield is very important, especially in arid and semiarid regions due to small number of events and high intensity of rainfall. Evaluation of soil erosion by existing models is needed as an important tool for managerial purposes in designation proper water and soil conservation technique. Sometimes inappropriate use of the model causes very high or low estimate. The present study aimed to assess the applicability of Hillslope Erosion Model (HEM) for prediction of storm related sediment yield in Khosbijan by using soil erosion standard plots in two common land use in semi arid region i.e. dry land and abandoned land. In order to run the model, runoff depth, land surface cover, soil texture, slope steepness and length were determined for 16 storm events. In calibration stage, 75% o f data were used and 25% used in validation stage. The results showed that the uncalibrated HEM didn’t simulate the observed sediment yields, properly in two selected land use. While it could successfully predict the soil erosion rate in plots on dry and abandoned land by calibrating soil erodibility parameter with determination coefficient of 0.61, 0.78 and estimate error of 38 and 25 percent, respectively. The results also, clearly showed that HEM better efficiency in abandoned landuse.

influence of gully erosion on soil moisture of abandoned farming dry land and rangeland in loess land (case study: kale-shour watershed, golestan province)

increased soil dryness of hillsides and lands around the gully causes the aggravation of the gully erosion which leads to the desertion of the environment. soil moisture contents are various in different soil depths, gully positions, and in various land uses. these are fundamental for ecosystem sustainability in arid and semi-arid area. therefore, understanding the behavior of soil moisture in ...

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...
