Moisture in the topsoil
The boundary that separates the earth from the atmosphere is a crucial zone of study for meteorology and hydrology. Here, solar energy is partitioned into sensible heat which drives atmospheric circulation, latent heat needed for evaporation from the soil and transpiration of vegetation, and soil heat which warms the subsurface. Precipitation is partitioned into interception that evaporates dir...
متن کاملEstimation of Soil Erosion Time Paths : The Value of Soil Moisture and Topsoil Depth Information
Rates of soil erosion in the dryland cropping region of Saskatchewan are investigated under alternative cropping strategies. Chemical fallow is examined as an alternative to tillage fallow for moisture and soil conservation. Conclusions include: (a) flexible cropping increases net discounted returns and substantially reduces soil erosion compared to the predominant crop rotation; (b) chemical f...
متن کاملCombining Soil Databases for Topsoil Organic Carbon Mapping in Europe
Accuracy in assessing the distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) is an important issue because of playing key roles in the functions of both natural ecosystems and agricultural systems. There are several studies in the literature with the aim of finding the best method to assess and map the distribution of SOC content for Europe. Therefore this study aims searching for another aspect of this...
متن کاملImpact of Sampling Approach and Hydraulic Topsoil Properties on Soil Erosion Estimates by the Fallout Radionuclide Be
There is growing interest in the application of the natural fallout radionuclide Be as a soil erosion and sediment tracer. Development of robust datasets is, however, hampered by unquantified variability in its vertical distribution within surface soil. Models that convert Be inventory measurements to soil erosion estimates are all based on the observed depth distribution of Be, described by th...
متن کاملModerate topsoil erosion rates constrain the magnitude of the erosion-induced carbon sink and agricultural productivity losses on the Chinese Loess Plateau
Despite a multitude of studies, overall erosion rates as well as the contribution of different erosion processes on Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) remain uncertain, which hampers a correct assessment of the impact of soil erosion on carbon and nutrient cycling as well as on crop productivity. In this paper we used a novel approach, based on field evidence, to reassess erosion rates on the CLP befo...
