wind erosion is a significant problem on 20 million ha of iran, especially in central plains and coastal areas. winderosion samplers, meteorological equipments and measurement procedure have been developed over the last twocenturies to measure the particles moving across the field in modes of creep, saltation and suspension. in recentresearch as the first technical measurement in iran, wind ero...

The coast of the provinces of Granada and Malaga (SE Spain) are economically important areas for the subtropical fruit cultivation. The climate is characterized by heavy periodic rainfall, which is one of the main factors responsible for soil erosion in this agroecosystem. However, the erosion depends on a host of factors, including soil, topography, cropping and soilconservation techniques. Th...

today's, adverse effects of off-site erosion, namely damages received from sediment, is a serious bioenvironmental problem. one of the methods for temporary soil stabilization before permanent rehabilitation of vegetation cover, especially on slopes, for mitigating of bioenvironmental contaminants, is using materials having property to cementate the dispersed particles on the soil surface....

Soil erosion is a global challenge, seriously threatening soil and water resources andenvironmental qualities. One of the important factors to consider in the process of runoffgeneration and soil erosion is the physical and chemical properties of soils under differentland-uses. The aim of this study is to estimate soil erosion and runoff in rangeland, rain-fedand abandoned rain-fed agriculture ...

Polyacrylamide (PAM) is used at rates of i to 2 kg ha per irrigation on a half million hectares of United States irrigated farmland to prevent 94% of irrigation-induced erosion and to enhance infiltration by i5% to 5o% on medium to fine-textured soils. The polyacrylamides used for this application are large (i2 to i5 megagrams per mole), water-soluble anion molecules applied in the irrigation s...

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 ...

soil erosion is undoubtedly one of the most important problems in natural areas and has a devastating impact on grassland ecosystems. the present study was conducted to assess the ability of rangeland hydrology and erosion model for estimating sediment yield on rangeland’s hill slopes in dry regions at shahid noori paired watershed of kakhk. rhem is a mathematical, distribution and physical mod...

Three studies conducted in Alabama evaluated impacts associated with a clear cut harvest in three physiographic regions. Machine impacts were assessed via tabulation of soil disturbance classes, measurement of bulk density and soil strength, or a combination of the two. Soil disturbance classes were similar among all locations with untrafficked areas comprising approximately 20 percent of the h...
