Surface vegetation has a substantial impact on soil aggregate stability, which is an important indicator of quality. However, there still limited research the response stability indicators and organic carbon, total nitrogen, phosphorus content in aggregates for different patterns rocky desertification fragile ecological areas. Therefore, order to study effects restoration models related nutrien...

The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and its derivatives are widely used for identifying watersheds with a high potential for degrading stream water quality. We compared sediment yields estimated from regional application of the USLE, the automated revised RUSLE2, and five sediment delivery ratio algorithms to measured annual average sediment delivery in 78 catchments of the Chesapeake Bay w...

Performing a comprehensive sensitivity/uncertainty analysis is a valuable step in understanding and using a predictive hydrologic/water quality (H/WQ) model. This article applies one-factor-at-a-time (OAT) sensitivity analysis (SA) and first-order error analysis (FOEA)/Monte Carlo simulation with Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) uncertainty analysis techniques for evaluation of a complex, process...

As an important type of soil erosion, freeze-thaw erosion occurs primarily at high latitude and altitude. The overview on the effect was provided. Soil affected by processes, as thawing water reinforce each other. Remote sensing provided unprecedented approach for characterizing timing, magnitude, patterns large-scale changes. Furthermore, essence freeze thaw moisture in pores soil. Freeze-thaw...

this paper presents a mapping procedure for risk mapping of water and wind erosion, whichhelps to identify protective measures needed in the planning and management of natural parks. the map of water erosion risk was developed by combining the original and revised universal soil loss equation methodologies (usle-rusle), and the map of wind erosion risk was developed using quirantes’ method. usi...

the modeling can provide a quantitative approach and consistency in the estimationsoil erosion and sediment yield by a wide range of conditions. in this study, the integration method of revised universal soil loss equation model, geographic information system and remote sensing techniques were used in order to identify the spatial distribution of soil erosion and sediment yield in the talar wat...

In the United States, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is the primary agency charged with the task of reducing wind erosion associated with production agriculture. The NRCS has used the Wind Erosion Equation (WEQ) (Woodruff and Siddoway, 1965) to assess the effects of field management on the potential for wind erosion for the last two and a half decades. The WEQ uses input...
