In this research, the impact of a carbon sequestration project, in the Hossein Abad Plain in Southern Khorasan Province of Iran, on the status of water and wind erosion was evaluated. The study area has a harsh climatic condition with low annual precipitation and is prone to well-known 120-day winds in summer. Since 2005, various soil conservation treatments (plantations, over-sowing, plantatio...

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 ...

Soil erosion is one of the most important watershed processe~ in nature, yet quantifying it under field conditions remains a challenge. The lack of soil erosion field data is a major facto r hindering our abi li ty to predict soil erosion in a watershed . We present here the development of a simple and sensitive field method that quantifies soil erosion and the resulting particulate nutrient mo...

Astract: This paper shows how recent situation of soil erosion evaluation and prediction on a regional scale based on the techniques of spatial information. The study, which was carried out in central China, identified sediment discharge, precipitation, soil composition, gully density and land use as erosion factors at the regional level. It showed that soil erosion can be assessed and predicte...

Soil erosion can be considered as one of the most important obstacles in the way of sustainable development of agriculture and natural resources. The aim of this study is to estimate erosion and sediment yield of basin using Erosion Potential Method, in Gorganrud basin, north of Iran. The main factors in the EPM (slope average percent, erosion, rock and soil resistance, and land-use) were evalu...

soil erosion is a serious problem especially in northern parts of iran. one themost important side effects on soil erosion may be the decline in qualities of soil refers toagricultural productivity. so it is very important to assess the soil erosion risk for thesustainable development of agriculture. this study outlines ways undertaken to provide anew tool to manage water erosion from physical ...
