Cushion peatlands are typical features of the high altitude Andes in South America. Due to the adaptation to difficult environmental conditions, they are very fragile ecosystems and therefore vulnerable to environmental and climate changes. Peatland erosion has severe effects on their ecological functions, such as water storage capacity. Thus, erosion monitoring is highly advisable. Erosion qua...

Gully erosion is one of the most complicated and destructive forms of water erosion. In order to prevent this erosion, the important factors advancing gully head must be recognized. Nowadays, several models have been proposed in measuring gully head advancement and identifying the severity of erosion. These models must be calibrated for each country to see whether they are applicable or not. So...

Gully erosion is known to affect soil productivity, and limit land use in many parts of the world. To assess susceptibility soils gully erosion, triggering factors must be analyzed. A simulation development over time was implemented Python – GIS modules based on topographic characteristics study area, properties, measured runoff. The results show that developed allow a successful data preparati...

The Three Gorges Reservoir Area is one of the most severe soil erosion in China. Serious erosion has degraded the soil productivity, deteriorated the ecological environment, and influenced the service life of Three Gorges Reservoir. The natural and social-economic factors which influence the soil erosion in Three Gorges Reservoir Area include topography, geological situation, vegetation, rainfa...

Erosion is one of the important social-economic problems in Iraniancatchments that have been posed by surface water vastness and runoff production. So, thestudy of water resources, soil erosion and effective factors is of high importance. Gullyerosion also extends in many parts of Iran and its study particularly in viewpoint ofsediment yield is therefore very important and should be taken into ...

Gully Erosion Classification in Kermanshah Province using Relative Similarity Analysis with Morphometric and Soil Auxiliary Variables

Abstract Gully erosion affects the landscape and human life in many ways, including destruction of agricultural land infrastructures, altering hydraulic potential soils, as well water availability. Due to climate change, more areas are expected be affected by gully future, threatening especially low-income regions. In past decades, quantitative methods have been proposed simulate predict at dif...

there are technical and theoretical knowledge of the gully, ditch the clean areas on topographic maps and digital models that will help. however, the ability to use maps (dem) to identify the location and frequency of gully requires knowledge about the process of creating a moat.the present study modeled gulliation prone areas in dyreh river basin done. materials and methods used in this resear...
