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...

In the Loess Plateau, soil erosion has not only caused serious ecological and environmental problems but has also impacted downstream areas. Therefore, a model is needed to guide the comprehensive control of soil erosion. In this study, we introduced the WEPP model to simulate soil erosion both at the slope and watershed scales. Our analyses showed that: the simulated values at the slope scale ...

globally, soil erosion is one of the most important environmental problems which is threaten soil and water resources. soil properties are main parameters to affect runoff and soil erosion processes. so, this study was conducted to investigate the effects of some soil properties on runoff and soil erosion in the forest lands located in vicinity of sari city. rainfall simulator was set in 15 ran...

Impaired water quality caused by human activity and the spread of invasive plant and animal species has been identified as a major factor of degradation of coastal ecosystems in the tropics. The main goal of this study was to evaluate the performance of AnnAGNPS (Annualized NonPoint Source Pollution Model), in simulating runoff and soil erosion in a 48 km watershed located on the Island of Kaua...

West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. The evolution of the coast of Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand, and its erosion problems have been governed by multiple factors, including its tectonic setting with an earthquake in 193...
