The objectives of this study were to understand the rainfall characteristics of thewind-water erosion crisscross region on the northern Loess Plateau, China, to provide basisfor the studies on mitigation of soil erosion, estimation on surface water resources andlocal hydrological circle, etc. The Liudaogou Catchment with representative climatic andhydrologic conditions of wind-water erosion cri...

determining the relative sensitivity of land to erosion and its factors, could be the basis of soil conservation programs. the aim of this study is to compare water and wind erosion functions in land degradation of dasht-e-jeihoon using psiac and irifr.ea models and the source studying of aeolian sediments in geomorphologic facieses as homogeneous units. the results indicate that in dasht-e-jei...

soil erosion by water is the main factor of land degradation, particularly in semi-arid regions where soil productivity is usually low and lowering soil quality can severely decrease crops yields. this study was done in an area of 900 km2 in the semi-arid agricultural region of hashtroud in northwestern iran to determine the relationship between soil productivity and soil erodibility. wheat gra...

The wind–water erosion crisscross region, where the topography is complicated, most severe area of soil on Loess Plateau. wind and terrain both have an impact water process. In order to evaluate effects sand cover runoff loss characteristics, a series experiments was conducted in two contrasting treatments. One treatment bare loess slope serving as control, others were sand-covered slopes with ...
