vegetation deterioration is a main cause of erosion and land degradation. therefore, land cover reclamation in the effected areas will affect erosion trend. in reclamation projects, the investigation of relationship between the planted species and soils is highly recommended. atriplex species can sequester carbon into soil, and have an ability to conserve soil and prevent soil erosion, as well....

Soil erosion is one of the most serious environmental problems affecting the quality of soil, land, and water resources upon which humans depend for their sustenance. A soil erosion hazard map is highly useful for environmental planning, soil conservation and management in soil erosion prone areas. In order to assess the soil erosion hazard, remote sensing (RS) and geographical information syst...

Power, J.F., Wilhelm, W.W. and Doran, J.W., 1986. Crop residue effects on soil environment and dryland maize and soya bean production. Soil Tillage Res., 8 : 101-111. The research reported here provides data on the effects of crop residues o n the surface of no-till soil upon the soil environment and resulting biological activity, including crop growth. For maize (Zea mays L.) and soya bean [Gl...

In Mediterranean environment intensive agricultural activities are often practiced in steep slopes, where sometimes climatic, geomorphologic and land use factors (e.g. the high rainfall intensity, the scarce vegetal coverage, especially on the occasion of the early rainfalls, the low organic matter content of soils, etc.) worsen the impacts of soil erosion. In such contexts agriculture may play...

In recent years, most of the regions in the world are exposed to degradation and erosion caused by increasing population and over use of land resources. The understanding of the most important factors on soil erosion and sediment yield are the main keys for decision making and planning. In this study, the sediment yield and soil erosion were estimated and the priority of different soil erosion ...
