A watershed scale assessment of the effect of conservation practices on the environment is critical when recommending conservation management practices to agricultural producers. The identification of all sources of sediment and subsequent tracking of the movement of sediment downstream is a necessary part of this assessment including the often overlooked contributions from gully erosion source...

different types of soil erosion including gully erosion occur in many parts of iran. the west of iran is further threatened by gully erosion due to its specific physical and climatic conditions. however, few studies have been carried out to study the sediment production of gully erosion in iran. this research was therefore conducted to measure storm-wise sediment production of gully erosion in ...

The Chinese Loess Plateau suffers from serious gully erosion induced by natural and human causes. Gully-affected areas detection is the basic work in this region for gully erosion assessment and monitoring. For the first time, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was applied to extract gully features in this region. Two typical catchments in Changwu and Ansai were selected to represent loess tablel...

gully erosion has an important role in fars province due to sediment production and enormous damages to land, roads and infrastructures. in this research, 15 gullies were selected to measure their morphometric characteristics. the length, depth, top and bottom width and volume of gully erosion were then measured. influential factors on the sediment production and gully development were analyzed...

The gully erosion presents spectral and spatial heterogeneity and altimetry variation. It is not a land use class, but an object and it can be mapped as a subclass, using OBIA. This study presents a methodology for delimitation of gullies in rural environments, based on image classification procedures. For such, two study areas were selected: one located in Minas Gerais, Brazil and another one ...
