Quantification of soil aggregation and erodibility from easily measurable characteristics have been done by using pedo-transfer functions (PTFs) PTFs developed were compared statistical machine learning techniques for the kandi region Punjab. Dataset 1, having six basic properties, was used estimation mean weight diameter (MWD) (K), prediction an artificial neural network (ANN) slightly better ...

Abstract Scour holes are common features in deltaic rivers which can destabilise embankments through oversteepening of the river bed. Their development has been studied extensively from hydraulic perspective, but another important control is erodibility bed varies considerably due to thickening heterogeneous substrate towards coast. Therefore, we assessed influence delta-scale geological hetero...

Riparian buffers are promoted for water quality improvement, habitat restoration, and stream bank stabilization. While considerable research has been conducted on the effects of riparian buffers on water quality and aquatic habitat, little is known about the influence of riparian vegetation on stream bank erosion. The overall goal of this research was to evaluate the effects of woody and herbac...

Digital elevation models of two “steady-state” mountain ranges, the Olympic Mountains (OM) and Oregon Coast Range (OCR), are used to examine relationships between slope distributions, the development of threshold hillslopes, and steady-state topography. Plots of drainage area versus slope for these mountain ranges exhibit substantial scatter that complicates comparison of range form to analytic...

abstract surface soil shear strength is an effective parameter in soil erosion and runoff modeling, and known as soil erodibility index. this study was conducted to investigate and predict soil shear strength in central zagros region using multiple linear regressions (mlr). the study site was selected in rangeland and degraded-rangeland landuse with an area of 23562 ha. based on the maps of geo...
