In this research, the impact of a carbon sequestration project, in the Hossein Abad Plain in Southern Khorasan Province of Iran, on the status of water and wind erosion was evaluated. The study area has a harsh climatic condition with low annual precipitation and is prone to well-known 120-day winds in summer. Since 2005, various soil conservation treatments (plantations, over-sowing, plantatio...

in this research, the applicability of geographic information system (gis) and remote sensing (rs) techniques was tested to assess soil erosion risk with the icona erosion model. this study was carried out in the tange bostanak area because of its variety of diverse landforms, land uses and land covers. the erosion risk assessment phase of this model consists of seven steps that mainly use slop...

vegetation deterioration is a main cause of erosion and land degradation. therefore, land cover reclamation in the effected areas will affect erosion trend. in reclamation projects, the investigation of relationship between the planted species and soils is highly recommended. atriplex species can sequester carbon into soil, and have an ability to conserve soil and prevent soil erosion, as well....

abstract land use change, especially natural ecosystems transformation, has high effects on soil physico-chemical as well as biological characteristics and also, has effect on runoff and soil erosion. analysis of runoff and soil erosion dynamics can be useful in improvement of management proposals and quantifying runoff and soil erosion changes. so, this research was carried out to investigate ...

Soil erosion is one of the most important watershed processe~ in nature, yet quantifying it under field conditions remains a challenge. The lack of soil erosion field data is a major facto r hindering our abi li ty to predict soil erosion in a watershed . We present here the development of a simple and sensitive field method that quantifies soil erosion and the resulting particulate nutrient mo...

The black soil region of Northeast China has suffered from severe soil erosion by water. Hillslope and gully erosion are the main erosion types. The objective of this research was to integrate the assessment of hillslope and gully erosion and explore spatial coupling relations between them in the Mushi River sub-catchment using geographical conditions monitoring (GCM) including remote sensing (...
