Erosion potential was estimated for road approaches during 4 phases of a timber harvesting scheduled for 23 stream crossings in the Virginia Piedmont. The objectives of this study were to: (1) examine four different types of stream crossing structures (steel bridges, pole bridges, standard culverts, and reenforced fords) in order to determine if the type of stream crossing affects erosion poten...

Soil erosion is a major cause of land degradation. It can be estimated with several models, such as empirical, conceptual and physical based. One the empirical models used worldwide nowadays for soil assessment Universal Loss Equation (USLE) its updated form, Revised (RUSLE). In Morocco, this model being to assess quantify loss by water erosion. spite this, it was noted that limited studies emp...

accelerated soil erosion is an undesirable process that adversely affects water and soil resources. rainfall erosivity is an important factor in water erosion models. accordingly, the present study was conducted to estimate the rainfall erosivity throughout iran based on the latest available detailed rainfall data while considering its temporal and spatial variations. to accomplish this, th...

Accurate estimation of soil erosion due to water is very important in several environmental contexts, such as the assessment of potential soil loss from cultivated lands and the evaluation of the loss of water storage capacity in reservoirs due to sediment deposition. Several studies have been carried out to build models suitable to quantify the results of erosion processes. These models, calib...

The erosion caused by the action of rain is one most frequent environmental problems, and it causes several damages, both material human. aim this research was to evaluate dynamics based on a quantitative analysis soil loss in Jaboatão river basin, located coast Center Forest Area Pernambuco. With focus applying Geoprocessing resources, used Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE), which integrates...

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...

This study aimed to assess the erosion hazard level in Wairutung Watershed. The land unit this was generated from overlaying use maps, slope and soil types maps. class of vulnerability determined based on sum parameters' rating results using a computer-based Geographic Information System (GIS) with ArcGIS program, which integrated Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) model. indicated division 4 ...
