The objective of this study was to evaluate the cell-based component of the Dyn...

this paper presents a mapping procedure for risk mapping of water and wind erosion, whichhelps to identify protective measures needed in the planning and management of natural parks. the map of water erosion risk was developed by combining the original and revised universal soil loss equation methodologies (usle-rusle), and the map of wind erosion risk was developed using quirantes’ method. usi...

[1] Orogenic structure appears to be partially controlled by the addition to and removal of material from the mountain belt by tectonic accretion and geomorphic erosion, respectively. We developed a coupled erosion-deformation model for orogenic wedges that are in erosional steady state and deform at their Coulomb failure limit. Erosional steady state is reached when all material introduced int...

[1] Whereas the existence of pronounced orbitally controlled periodicities is a major feature of Earth climate, its impact on landscape dynamics remains poorly understood. We use a Landscape Evolution Model (LEM) to systematically investigate the response of landscapes to a range of periodic oscillations in precipitation. The resulting sediment-flux evolution displays a pronounced sensitivity t...

The USLE and the RUSLE are two common erosion prediction models that used worldwide, soil erodibility (K-factor) is one parameter to calculate them. objectives of this study were investigate variability soil-erodibility factors under different soil-texture classes evaluate efficiency diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) in near-infrared range at predicting K-factors using a partial least squa...

“Erodibility” is a characteristic of the soil that represents susceptibility with which its particles from most superficial layer are taken and transported to lower places by erosive agents, causing environmental economic damages. This work estimated erodibility in pastures forest areas municipality Porto Velho-Rondônia. In field, three different types vegetation were selected, one brachiaria, ...
