rainfall erosion processes a long with the rainfall characteristics can be affected by soil properties. the study was conducted to investigate the susceptibility of the aggregates in different soil textures to the rainfall erosion processes. the experiment was done on thirty soil samples recognized in four soil textures with different replications as the completely randomized design. ninety box...

Collapsing gullies are among the most severe soil erosion problems in the tropical and subtropical areas of southern China. However, few studies have examined the relationship of soil particle size distribution (PSD) changes with land-use patterns in the alluvial fans of collapsing gullies. Recently, the fractal method has been applied to estimate soil structure and has proven to be an effectiv...

The successful establishment of agricultural crops depends on sowing quality, machinery performance, soil type and conditions, among other factors. This study evaluates the operational quality of mechanized peanut sowing in three soil types (sand, silt, and clay) with variable moisture contents. The experiment was conducted in three locations in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The track-samplin...

gypsiferous soils occur in xeric, ustic, and aridic moisture regimes. environmental conditions affect the mode of gypsum formation. gypsiferous soils in fars province, southern iran, are found in piedmont plains, flood plains, and alluvial plains. the objective of this work was to investigate the micromorphology of gypsum crystals formed under different soil moisture regimes. the results indica...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of soil moisture condition and irrigation regime on the bioelectric potential of crops with different growth stages. The bioelectric potential of broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) plants at the initial and mid-growth stages was measured under different soil moisture conditions and irrigation regimes using pot experiments. The result...

This study explores approaches for wind erosion risk assessment utilising available time-series Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and climate products. We present a simple index and a ruleset based approach to identify wind erosion risk areas across Australian using time-series of ground cover, soil moisture and wind speed. These approaches and data sets were implemented in ...

Plant diversity and vegetation distribution in an area are related to the soil physical and chemical properties. The knowledge of relationships between species diversityand soil parameteris essential for sustainable ecosystem management. This study was conducted to investigate the relationships between soil factors and species diversity indices in the protected rangelands of Lashgardar, Malayer...
