the wepp physically model is able to dynamically simulate runoff and soil erosion using physical concepts of erosion and hydraulic of overland flow science considering plant growth, residue decomposition, winter process. determination of the capability of this model in runoff and erosion estimation in different range type with investigation the effects of management were the main objectives of ...

The placement of stiff-stemmed grass hedges on the contour along a hill slope has been shown to decrease runoff nutrient transport. This study was conducted to measure the effectiveness of a narrow grass hedge in reducing runoff nutrient transport from plots with a range of soil nutrient values. Composted beef cattle manure was applied at dry weights of 0, 68, 105, 142, and 178 Mg ha-1 to a sil...

soil erosion is a major problem for developing countries with arid and semi-arid climate. these of erosion is possible than two ways of water and wind. in this paper, with using of two methods irifer and hierarchical models, the rate and intensity of of soil erosion is estimated shadegan catchment. for this purpose, by using various maps alike dem, rainfall, land use index, ndvi, geology estima...

soil erosion and its associated land degradation represent major problems for development as well as for environmental resources protection. there is an urgent need to obtain reliable quantitative data on the extent and rates of soil erosion worldwide. the use of 137cs radionuclide for studying soil erosion and deposition is a valuable tool employed throughout the world. in the present study, u...

Evaluation of phosphorus (P) management strategies to protect water quality has largely relied on research using simulated rainfall to generate runoff from either field plots or shallow boxes packed with soil. Runoff from unmanured, grassed field plots (1 m wide x 2 m long, 3-8% slope) and bare soil boxes (0.2 m wide and 1 m long, 3% slope) was compared using rainfall simulation (75 mm h(-1)) s...

Soil erosion by water is commonly recognized as the one of main reasons of land degradation worldwide (e.g. Ananda & Herath, 2003; Beskow et al., 2009; Valentin et al., 2005). Most of the involved areas are occupied by various agricultural activities but pastures, forestry, unpaved roads as well as construction sites are also endangered by water erosion (Ananda & Herath, 2003; Arnanez et al., 2...
