The paper contains data about the destructive effects of gully erosion on the environment. It provides general information about the gully erosion in several countries around the world including Romania and is considered a case study for a river basin located in the Semenic Mountains (Bârzava drainage area). The case study is based on the following assumptions: the presence of different types o...

negative impacts of gully erosion in marly areas are severe due to improper landuse practices such as irrigation, tillage, overgrazing and degradation of vegetation cover. the objective of this research was to evaluate gully thresholds related to plant vegetation cover and landuse change in the agriculture (ag), fair rangeland (fr) and weak rangeland (wr) areas of ghaasr-e-shirin, kermanshah, i...

Some methodologies were compared in providing erosion maps of surface, rill and gully and erosion features, in research which took place in the Varamin sub-basin, north-east Tehran, Iran. A photomorphic unit map was produced from processed satellite images, and four other maps were prepared by the integration of different data layers, including slope, plant cover, geology, land use, rocks erodi...

Soil erosion by gullying causes severe soil degradation, which in turn leads to socio-economic and environmental damages tropical subtropical regions. To mitigate these negative effects guarantee sustainable management of natural resources, gullies must be prevented. Gully strategies start devising adequate assessment tools identification driving factors control measures. achieve this, machine ...

The Covurlui Plateau, a subunit of the Moldavian Plateau located in eastern Romania, possesses high natural agricultural potential, significantly impacted by soil erosion, particularly gully erosion. only inventory that comprises approximately 9000 gullies extracted from topographical maps was conducted during 90s. Nowadays, with advent advanced techniques and geodata, such as GIS software, aer...

Gully Erosion Classification in Kermanshah Province using Relative Similarity Analysis with Morphometric and Soil Auxiliary Variables

The widespread hillslope- and gully-erosion in Liaoning Province of Northeast China, pose serious challenges to the local agricultural production. Hillslope- have typically been studied separately; however, there has little investigation on relationship these two types erosion. In this study, coupling from perspectives erosion intensity land use, as well slope gradient, aspect, shape, was analy...

Today, incorrect use of lands and land use changes, excessive grazing, no suitable using of agricultural farms, plowing on steep slopes, road construct, building construct, mine excavation etc have been caused increasing of soil erosion and sediment yield. For erosion and sediment estimation one can use statistical and empirical methods. This needs to identify land unit map and the map of effec...

Collapsed gully erosion constantly plagues the sustainability of rural areas in China. To control collapsed gully erosion, an ecological and economic approach, which uses tree plantation to gain economic benefits and control soil erosion, has been widely applied by local governments in Southern China. However, little is known about the economic feasibility of this new method. The objective of t...

by determining relative importance and contributions of erosion types to sediment yield, erosion susceptible areas in a watershed will be identified, and sediment control and soil conservation projects can be focused on that areas. because of many problems associated with traditional procedures for identifying sediment sources, fingerprinting techniques, based on physical, chemical and organic ...
