different types of soil erosion including gully erosion occur in many parts of iran. the west of iran is further threatened by gully erosion due to its specific physical and climatic conditions. however, few studies have been carried out to study the sediment production of gully erosion in iran. this research was therefore conducted to measure storm-wise sediment production of gully erosion in ...

This study investigates the possibility providing gully erosion map by the supervised classification of satellite images (ETM) in two mountainous and plain land types. These land types were the part of Varamin plain, Tehran province, and Roodbar subbasin, Guilan province, as plain and mountain land types, respectively. The position of 652 and 124 ground control points were recorded by GPS respe...

Features of gully morphometry and associated relief characteristics emphasize that gully develop under a wide variety of rock conditions, rainfall regimes, geomorphic predisposition, and human influence. Consequently, many slopes within piedmont areas, in this case, the Getic Piedmont, are characterized by dense gully systems, as there occur excessive clearing, inappropriate land use, compactio...

A watershed scale assessment of the effect of conservation practices on the environment is critical when recommending conservation management practices to agricultural producers. The identification of all sources of sediment and subsequent tracking of the movement of sediment downstream is a necessary part of this assessment including the often overlooked contributions from gully erosion source...

understanding the development of gully volumes requires the empirical relations between gully volume (v) and length (l) to be established in the field. so far, such v–l relations have been proposed for a limited number of gullies/environments and were especially developed for ephemeral gullies.in this study, v–l relations were established for ephemeral gullies in southern ilam. in order to take...
