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...

splash erosion recognized as first stage of erosion process that results of bombing soil surface with rain drop. falling rain drops to soil surface resulted moving soil particles and destructing soil structure. at this research effects of various pam rate (0, 2, 4 and 6 kg.ha) on splash erosion on three soil textuere clay, silty clay and sandy clay loam was tested. simulations were done with ra...

BACKGROUND Plants play a pivotal role in soil stabilization, with above-ground vegetation and roots combining to physically protect soil against erosion. It is possible that diverse plant communities boost root biomass, with knock-on positive effects for soil stability, but these relationships are yet to be disentangled. QUESTION We hypothesize that soil erosion rates fall with increased plan...

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...

Late Quaternary rates of apparent soil production, bedrock incision, and average erosion are determined for the southeastern highlands of Australia using in situ produced cosmogenic nuclide concentrations of Be and Al. Apparent soil production rates define a steep, inverse exponential function of soil depth with a maximum of 143mMa 1 under zero soil depth. There were no observed soil depths bet...

The black soil region of Northeast China has suffered from severe soil erosion by water. Hillslope and gully erosion are the main erosion types. The objective of this research was to integrate the assessment of hillslope and gully erosion and explore spatial coupling relations between them in the Mushi River sub-catchment using geographical conditions monitoring (GCM) including remote sensing (...

In this research, the impact of a carbon sequestration project, in the Hossein Abad Plain in Southern Khorasan Province of Iran, on the status of water and wind erosion was evaluated. The study area has a harsh climatic condition with low annual precipitation and is prone to well-known 120-day winds in summer. Since 2005, various soil conservation treatments (plantations, over-sowing, plantatio...

As elicitors of terrestrial system change (e.g., land use transformation) through the introduction of anthropogenic causes, the spatial patterns and levels of roads might be more detrimental to the long-term health of ecosystems at a large scale than the road paving itself. This paper reveals the relationship between soil erosion and roads from a large-scale perspective in Jiangxi Province, Chi...

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...
