Effects of organic conditioner applications on soil loss under simulated rainfall conditioner

A comparison of simulated traffic conditioner performance

In this paper, the simulated performance of a number of differentiated services traffic conditioners is studied under a range of synthetic traffic conditions. The traffic conditioners are compared using two performance measures which are defined and justified in the paper. In the initial simulation the traffic conditioner performance differed in one measure but not the other. Further experiment...

Soil Organic Carbon Loss and Selective Transportation under Field Simulated Rainfall Events

The study on the lateral movement of soil organic carbon (SOC) during soil erosion can improve the understanding of global carbon budget. Simulated rainfall experiments on small field plots were conducted to investigate the SOC lateral movement under different rainfall intensities and tillage practices. Two rainfall intensities (High intensity (HI) and Low intensity (LI)) and two tillage practi...

Effects of Soil Cover and Protective Measures on Reducing Runoff and Soil Loss under Artificial Rainfall

Zhang Y., Feng M.M., Yang J.Y., Zhao T.N., Wu H.L., Shi C.Q., Shen Y. (2015): Effects of soil cover and protective measures on reducing runoff and soil loss under artificial rainfall. Soil & Water Res., 10: 198–205. The hazards from wind, sand, and soil erosion caused by human activities, such as residue slopes in abandoned urban mines, have resulted in a vicious circle of environmental degrada...

Soil loss and runoff generation in rangeland, rain-fed and abandoned rain-fed agriculture land-uses under simulated rainfall

Soil erosion is a global challenge, seriously threatening soil and water resources andenvironmental qualities. One of the important factors to consider in the process of runoffgeneration and soil erosion is the physical and chemical properties of soils under differentland-uses. The aim of this study is to estimate soil erosion and runoff in rangeland, rain-fedand abandoned rain-fed agriculture ...
