The focus of soil erosion research in the Alps has been in two categories: (i) on-sitemeasurements, which are rather small scale point measurements on selected plots often constrained to irrigation experiments or (ii) off-site quantification of sediment delivery at the outlet of the catchment. Results of both categories pointed towards the importance of an intact vegetation cover to prevent soi...

the modeling can provide a quantitative approach and consistency in the estimationsoil erosion and sediment yield by a wide range of conditions. in this study, the integration method of revised universal soil loss equation model, geographic information system and remote sensing techniques were used in order to identify the spatial distribution of soil erosion and sediment yield in the talar wat...

soil erosion is undoubtedly one of the most important problems in natural areas and has a devastating impact on grassland ecosystems. the present study was conducted to assess the ability of rangeland hydrology and erosion model for estimating sediment yield on rangeland’s hill slopes in dry regions at shahid noori paired watershed of kakhk. rhem is a mathematical, distribution and physical mod...

gully erosion constitutes a major problem in natural resources management and soil conservation, which causes severe land degradation in arid and semi-arid areas. therefore, determination of gully prone area and identification of gully conditioning factors can help to managers and decision makers to reduce the hazard of gully erosion. the aim of this study is to predictthe gully erosion suscept...

The soil erosion is the most serious environmental problem in watershed areas in Turkey. The main factors affecting the amount of soil erosion include vegetation cover, topography, soil, and climate. In order to describe the areas with high soil erosion risks and to develop adequate erosion prevention measures in the watersheds of dams, erosion risk maps should be generated considering these fa...

Assessment of soil erosion is expensive and intensively long exercise. A number of parametric models have been developed to forecast soil erosion at drainage basins, yet Universal Soil Loss Equation, popularly known as USLE model is most widely used empirical formula for estimating annual soil loss from agricultural basins. With the advance of Remote Sensing technique it becomes possible to mea...
