determining the relative sensitivity of land to erosion and its factors, could be the basis of soil conservation programs. the aim of this study is to compare water and wind erosion functions in land degradation of dasht-e-jeihoon using psiac and irifr.ea models and the source studying of aeolian sediments in geomorphologic facieses as homogeneous units. the results indicate that in dasht-e-jei...

Assessment of soil erosion and sediment yield in furrow irrigation is limited in Samaru-Zaria. Data was collected in 2009 and 2010 and was used to develop a dimensionless model for predicting furrow irrigation-induced erosion (FIIE) using the dimensional analyses approach considering stream size, furrow length, furrow width, soil infiltration rate, hydraulic shear stress, soil erodibility, and ...

soil erosion results from an interaction of several parameters, which vary in space and time. awareness ofenvironmental changes and their impact on the intensity and spatial pattern of water erosion can effectively help inrecognition of erosional reactions versus the affecting factors. the aim of this paper is to describe the development ofa methodology based on present knowledge and available ...

Soil erosion is an important process in dryland ecosystems, yet measurements and comparisons of wind and water erosion within and among such ecosystems are lacking. Here we compare wind erosion and transport field measurements with water erosion and transport from rainfall-simulation for three different semi-arid ecosystems: a shrubland near Carlsbad, New Mexico; a grassland near Denver, Colora...

Conceptual watershed model developed to examine water quality as it is affected by soil erosion from agriculture and urban areas (Young et al., 1987). AGNPS has three major components: hydrology, soil erosion and nutrient pollution. The hydrological function provides prediction of runoff volume and peak flow rate. The soil erosion function includes soil erosion and sedimentation. The nutrient f...

Switzerland’s 2014 “Agricultural Report” asserts that the fertility of Swiss agricultural lands is compromised in the long term, and that one of the major causes is water erosion. Yet, the problem of soil erosion is not recent. It has been studied for more than fifty years and included in agroenvironmental policy-making for more than twenty years. However, despite significant improvements, expe...

Agricultural residues have been identified as a significant potential resource for bioenergy production, but serious questions remain about the sustainability of harvesting residues. Agricultural residues play an important role in limiting soil erosion from wind and water and in maintaining soil organic carbon. Because of this, multiple factors must be considered when assessing sustainable resi...

Pakerisan watershed is one of the that has not followed rules soil and water conservation. This can destroy aggregates cause high erosion. study aims to predict level erosion plan Erosion prediction uses USLE (Universal Soil Loss Equation). The showed classified from slight severe. rate very light covering an area 6,426.26 ha (71.28%) with natural forests, dryland agriculture, paddy fields. mod...
