soil erosion is undoubtedly one of the most important problems in natural areas and has a devastating impact on grassland ecosystems. the present study was conducted to assess the ability of rangeland hydrology and erosion model for estimating sediment yield on rangeland’s hill slopes in dry regions at shahid noori paired watershed of kakhk. rhem is a mathematical, distribution and physical mod...

[1] On the basis of estimates of sediment accumulation in reservoirs, the impact of 50,000 dams on sediment supply and intertidal wetland response in the Yangtze River catchment is examined. The total storage capacity of reservoirs is 200 10 m, or 22% of the Yangtze annual runoff. The sediment accumulation rate in reservoirs has increased from 0 in 1950 to >850 10 t/yr in 2003. Although sedimen...

Grupi and Kashkan marl formations comprise a considerable part of Zagros region. These formations have a considerable erodibility and sedimentation potential because of their special geological and mineralogical characteristics. The objective of this study was to compare the erosion and sediment yield of Kashkan and Grupi formations in Merk watershed located in southeast Kermanshah, using the M...

vegetation cover as the main factor affecting the water erosion plays an important role in preventingsoil loss. to this end, for better understanding the impact of vegetation cover on soil erosion andsediment yield over the major existing geological formations in the summer rangelands of balade inthe mazandaran province, rainfall simulation studies have been carried out using a portable rainfal...
