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...

studies of rainfall variation generally focus on large areas. for example, in india, the area average monsoon rainfall series of the whole country or meteorological subdivisions are used. this would be of no use for local agriculture, particularly in places where rainfall is very high or very low, especially for crops like small cardamom and vanilla which are very sensitive to soil moisture and...

one of the main resonator factors in watershed soil erosion is inappropriateland management including conversion of pasture land to dry-land farming.unfortunately, the changes of gara su watershed usages have been very common.thus, in order to understand the influence of land use on runoff rate and soil loss, soillosses were investigated and determined under both pasture and dry-land agricultur...

Nanotechnology could be a very important field of recent research dealing with medical, industrial, environment. Silver nanoparticles are the topics of researchers because of their distinctive properties (size, shape depending optical, antimicrobial, and electrical properties). The synthesis of safe nanoparticles by biological organisms is recommended due to the environmental friendliness and l...

The vegetation cover and rangeland production are the most important factors to determine the proper planning system for effective utilization and management of rangelands. In this research, the effect of climatic factors (temperature and rainfall) were studied on vegetation cover and forage production of four species (Festuca ovina, Bromus tomentellus, Dactylis glomerata and Agropyron trichoph...

there is a need to analyze and map rainfall erosivity to assess soil erosion at the regional scale. the objectives of this study were to develop a regional model to estimate seasonal erosivity from seasonal rainfall data and to study temporal and spatial distribution of rainfall erosivity for the gorganrood drainage basin in the northeast of iran. six gauging stations with a high temporal reso...

Rainfall and evapotranspiration are the two most popular climatic factors which have crucial function on agricultural production. Rainfall can be directly measured easily in an area but evapotranspiration is estimated from weather data. In this study reference evapotranspiration ETo was estimated using Penman–Monteith equation. Monthly rainfall and evapotarnspiration were plotted and compared i...
