Annular flumes were used to quantlfy benthic-pelaqc exchanges in relation to changes in current velocity and sediment biota. Various physical, chemical and biological parameters were determined for 4 sites on the Molenplaat tidal flat in the Westerschelde (The Netherlands) during 2 field campaigns in May-June and August-September 1996. These Pcluded: the mass of sediment eroded, maximum and mea...

ABSTRACT Assessment of wind erosion parameters applicable to the field scale using wind tunnels requires attention to both scal...

Soil erosion is one of the most serious environmental problems affecting the quality of soil, land, and water resources upon which humans depend for their sustenance. A soil erosion hazard map is highly useful for environmental planning, soil conservation and management in soil erosion prone areas. In order to assess the soil erosion hazard, remote sensing (RS) and geographical information syst...

correct estimates of the risk of erosion at improve land management advice plays an important role. in this study, erosion risk zoning in the kan basin with area about 20571 ha in the northwest of tehran by using the experimental model mpsiac and geographic information system (gis) were investigated and by using the base maps and gis, layers of information were prepared. after collecting, prepa...
