The use of new methods, remote sensing (RS) and geographical information system (GIS) in zoning the water erosion in a particular geographical area (Tang-e-Bostanak catchment area) constitute the main subjects of this study. The production, combination, and composition of effective information layers in identifying these zones have been noted, highlighting the capacity of GIS and RS. In this st...

to estimating erosion and sediment in the Poorahmadi watershed basin, MPSIAC and EPM models was used and compared.  Part of Required data about natural characteristics of studing watershed basin provided from comprehensive studies of Watershed Basin and the other part prepared through digital image processing and preparing required maps  using RS and GIS joint capabilities.  With calculating th...

Soil erosion by wind is a widespread problem in the arid lands of Iran. This research estimated and assessed the severity of wind erosion in Segzi desertification hotspot located in the eastern part of Isfahan township, focusing on criteria used in the IRIRF (Iranian Research Institute of Forest and Rangelands) model. Bayesian belief networks (BBNs) were also used to convert the IRIFR model to ...

The present study shows that very low erosion class (0.23 to 8 tons per hectare per year) Romeshgan watershed, most of the area to be included in the attrition levels low, medium, large and have too much. In general we can say the area is low to moderate ability erodible. SLEMSA model for estimating erosion, environmental conditions are examined. These factors in watershed erosion rates in diff...

Among the various processes that destroy lands, soil erosion is a complex and hazardous environmental process that constitutes a serious threat to preservation of soil and water resources in Iran and has inflicted its negative effects on the vital ecosystem with the intensified utilization of nature by human beings. The present descriptive and analytic research employed the PSIAC model to study...

Zoning of gully erosion susceptibility and determining the factors controlling gully erosion is very important and vital. The aim of this study was to investigate the spatial distribution of gully erosion using two models of ANN and MaxEnt and to determine the factors affecting this type of erosion in Golestan Dam basin. Therefore, 14 factors in the form of three divisions, including topographi...

The goal of this study is determination of erosion rate and sediment production and exploring sensitive areas of erosion in Zemkan basin, located in the West of Kermanshah Province.To achieve these objectives, the erosion potential method (EPM) was used.Geographical information system also was used to reduce the errors and increase the relative accuracy in the analysis of the model. Required da...
