Soil erosion is one of the most important environmental issues in developing countries, including Iran that there is inaccurate information about its amount and distribution. For this purpose, the accuracy and distribution of erosion classes obtained from EPM and MPSIAC models as compared to BLM as ground truth values were evaluated in Shahriari watershed. First, the required data and informati...

  Erosion is a surface-leveling phenomenon where thetransportof sediments from being washed off the land or by the force of gravity move from elevated areas. During different periods, in Iran, constantly flowing water has been affected by erosion. Thus it is important to address the erosionproblem. This research attempts to assess and identify the parameters affecting erosion in Haji Abad Wa...

Wind erosion is known as one of the most important land degradation aspects, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. Soil properties, by affecting soil erodibility, can control the wind erosion rate. The aim of this study was to attribute the soil physical and chemical properties to the wind erosion rate for the purpose of determining the most important property. To this aim, wind erosion r...

The main parts of Iran have been countered in arid and hyper arid area that in result of especial environmental condition as low precipitation and vegetation density can be caused wind erosion, whereas wind erosion usually has a tiny destruction quantity than water erosion due to wide its activity. Because of not matching presented models by other countries with climate and edaphic condition of...

Aims & Backgrounds: Considering the fact that a large part of our country is in arid and semi-arid regions and every year wind erosion and dust storms cause significant damages to the country's bio-economic resources, it is necessary to study this phenomenon. This study investigated the erosion rate of geomorphological facies of Gonabad city in relation to wind erosion. Methodology: The wind er...

1- Introduction The gully erosion occurrence, due to the high rate of sediment production in the watershed, is one of the problems of natural resources management in the context of soil management and protection. It is known as an important signature of land degradation and forming as well as a source of sediment in a range of environments. Gully erosion often has severe environmental and econ...

By knowing of the effective parameters on erodibility of marl deposits, can be improve landuse and reduce erosion and sediment yield. At present research, Assessing the effective factors on water erosion in the marly area, Mishan and Aghajari formations in the west of Bandar Abbas, is studied. For this purpose, according to lithology map, general slope and landuse, determine the sampling points...
