This paper took a subregion in a small watershed gully system at Beiyanzikou catchment of Qixia, China, as a study and, using object-orientated image analysis (OBIA), extracted shoulder line of gullies from high spatial resolution digital orthophoto map (DOM) aerial photographs. Next, it proposed an accuracy assessment method based on the adjacent distance between the boundary classified by rem...

introduction: gully erosion is an important type of soil erosion in iran and ardebil province (moghimi and salami, 2011; khatibi, 2006). increasing the cross section of gullies is an indicator for gully developing (deng et al, 2015). topography and soil properties are two important factors in gully developing in various regions of worldwide (poesena et al, 2003). despite the importance of soil ...

     It is widely known that the development of gullies causes the loss of a great amount of soil and can be considered as one of the principal causes of geo-environmental degradation. The study area of the present research is located in the eastern shores of Urmia Lake. This study sought to evaluate the rate of growth and effective factors on the area’s gully dynamic over a year. To achieve th...

Gully erosion can account for significant volumes of sediment exiting agricultural landscapes, but is difficult to monitor and quantify its evolution with traditional surveying technology. Scientific investigations of gullies depend on accurate and detailed topographic information to understand and evaluate the complex interactions between field topography and gully evolution. Detailed terrain ...

introduction: soil erosion by water is one of the most important processes of land degradation, especially in semi-arid areas. among different types of the soil erosion, gully erosion accounts as one of the most critical processes which can cause soil destruction, changes in landscape and water resources filling of reservoir of dams,decrease in water transport capacity of rivers and agricultura...

Erosion is one of themost important natural hazard phenomena in theworld, and it poses a significant threat to Turkey in terms of land degredation and desertification. To cope with this problem, we must determine which areas are erosion-prone. Many studies have been carried out and different models and methods have been used to this end. In this study, we used a logistic regression to prepare a...

This paper presents environmental change monitoring in the Taita Hills, Kenya applying SPOT XS satellite imagery, aerial photography and digital camera data. The paper presents the data, methods for atmospheric correction, and results from land cover change detection and soil erosion change detection. The results indicated that gully density has doubled in the test sites during the observation ...
