Effect of soil structure breakdown on splash erosion in different soil textures

چکیده مقاله:
This study was carried out to investigate the role of soil structure in splash erosion in semi-arid soils. Splash erosion was measured in four soil textures (silty clay loam, sandy clay loam, silt loam and sandy loam) with two soil structure conditions (with natural structure and under aggregate breakdown) using a simulated rainfall with 50 mmh-1 in intensity for 30 min in splash caps with 10-cm height and 8-cm diameter. Soil physical properties consisted of mean aggregate size, aggregate stability, bulk density and saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) were determine in the two soil structure conditions. Results indicated that sandy loam is the most susceptible soil structure to splash erosion, so it appeared about 52 percentages more splash erosion in the breakdown structure condition. Bulk density, aggregate stability and Ks were significantly deteriorated by aggregate breakdown in the soils. A significant relationship was found between the splash erosion variation and variation of Ks in the two soil structure conditions (R2=0.90, P<0.05). Splash erosion was largely increased in the soils with decreasing the Ks by aggregate breakdown. This study revealed that in the soils affected by aggregate breakdown, splash erosion is strongly increases due to decline in the soil’s saturated hydraulic conductivity.

Selectivity of Particles through Rill Erosion in Different Soil Textures
Sediment selectivity during transport may provide basic information for evaluating on-site and off-site impacts of the soil erosion. Limited information is, however, available on the selectivity of sediments in rill erosion, particularly in the rainfed furrows. Toward this, the sediment selectivity was investigated in three soil textures (loam, loamy sand sand clay loam) under 10% slope using 9...
متن کاملApplication of Polyacrylamide for Splash Erosion Control on Marl Soil
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 dispersement 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 polyacrylamide (PAM)values (0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 ...
متن کاملEffect of Nanoclay on Soil Erosion Control
Wind erosion is a widespread phenomenon in arid region. The purpose of this study was assessed the capacity of nanoclay to control soil erosion in wind tunnel experiment. The nanoclay isolated from soils was dominant in montmorillonite. A sandy soil from the Khara desert, nearly 100 km East of Isfahan (Central Iran) was used. The soils of this area are structurally unstable and sandy texture ma...
متن کاملEffect of Soil Moisture Content on the Splash Phenomenon Reproducibility
One of the methods for testing splash (the first phase of water erosion) may be an analysis of photos taken using so-called high-speed cameras. The aim of this study was to determine the reproducibility of measurements using a single drop splash of simulated precipitation. The height from which the drops fell resulted in a splash of 1.5 m. Tests were carried out using two types of soil: Eutric ...
