The assessment of the erodibility of soil materials is essential for analyzing and modeling rill, gully, streambed, streambank, spillway, and embankment erosion. A submerged jet−testing apparatus has been developed and used for characterizing soil erodibility in several applications as cited in the literature. The apparatus has been developed based on knowledge of the hydraulic characteristics ...

Gully erosion is widespread in central China's ecologically fragile loess plateau. However, research on the monitoring and evaluation of large-scale scarce. Here, we collected 16 pairs Sentinel-1A images from rainy season, spanning April 5-October 26, 2019, subsidence then quantified its results can indirectly reflect intensity largest plateau China, Dongzhiyuan tableland, using small baseline ...

Taking the Quickbird optical satellite imagery of the small watershed of Beiyanzigou valley of Qixia city, Shandong province, as the study data, we proposed a new method by using a fused image of topography with remote sensing imagery (RSI) to achieve a high precision interpretation of gully edge lines. The technique first transformed remote sensing imagery into HSV color space from RGB color s...

The article presents the results of study modern water-erosion processes in Central Belarus territory. mechanisms sheet, gully and river erosion are considered. areas development these established parameters annual drift calculated. contribution each process to dynamics earth's surface relief region under is determined. It shown that lead noticeable negative consequences for environment, disrup...

In recent years, gully erosion has caused soil loss, land degradation, and a large sediment yield in the Mollisols northeastern China, threatening agricultural development national food security. Moreover, prediction of remains great challenge owing to difficulty determining suitable environmental indicators identifying best models for predicting prone areas. Therefore, objective this study was...
