Abstract Soil functions such as water storage, soil filtration, and reducing reservoir life due to sediment load are directly affected by the process of “soil erosion.” The Universal Loss Equation was adopted predict erodibility factor for watersheds feeding Al-Shewicha trough. K -average factor’s determined value 0.156, indicating that -factor had substantial variability. values linked high sa...

Since erosion of mine overburden and mine dump leads to its deposition down the slope in the catchment, an attempt was made to study the erosion-deposition pattern in a micro watershed in part of Goa state, south-western India using the erosion-deposition model proposed by Mitasova et al. (1996). Information on various parameters of the model, namely curve number, management factor, cover facto...

This paper describes spatial modeling methods to identify wind erosion hazard (WEH) areas across Australia using the recently available time-series products of satellitederived ground cover, soil moisture and wind speed. We implemented the approach and data sets in a geographic information system to produce WEH maps for Australia at 500 m ground resolution on a monthly basis for the recent thir...

Humic acid (HA) is a material that could be used to decrease erosion and improve soil structure. It also known biological crusts (biocrusts) have major role in stabilization, but the mechanism not well understood presence of HA, especially with mechanistic detachment rate parameters (b0 b1) Wilson model, where b0 dimensional parameter b1 threshold parameter. Therefore, this study intends (1) in...

Erosion process occurs naturally, shaping the Earth’s surface. Soil loss can cause harmful effects to environment when intensive anthropic activities occur. Mathematical models have been used as effective and less costly alternatives for identifying sites highly prone soil loss, especially at watershed scale. In Brazil, Revised Universal Loss Equation (RUSLE) is one of most commonly prediction ...

IVind ttiimel tests on silty textured loessial soils throtigbout the Cohimhia Plateau of eastern Wa.shiitg{on slate and northern central Oregon were used ro define soil erndibiltiy for wind erosion predictions. Aggregate and primary particle size distributions were determined hy common techniques and correlated wiih the wind tunnel erosion values. Dry aerodynamic particle sizing by a laser meth...
