Radioactive fallout 137CS (cesium-137) deposited across the landscape from atmospheric nuclear tests is strongly absorbed on soil particles limiting its movement by chemical and biological processes. Most 137CS movement in the environment is by physical processes; therefore, 137CS is a unique tracer for studying erosion and sedimentation. Cesium-137 loss from a watershed has been shown to corre...

Land use and management practices (LUMPs) play a critical role in regulating soil loss. The cover-management factor (C-factor) Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE)-type models is an important parameter for quantifying the effects of LUMPs on erosion. However, accurately determining C-factor, particularly large-scale assessments using USLE-type models, remains challenging. This study aims to addr...

Estimation of soil loss from single storm events is essential for basin planning and nonpoint source pollution control. Rainfall-runoff erosivity factors for single storm events in northern Iraq were derived from the basic theory of soil detachment and transport. The factors derived are a single parameter which includes runoff depth only and a factor which combines runoff depth and peak rate. T...

The aim of this work was to test a modified version of the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) for assessing the risks of erosion in N. Chalkidiki, Greece. USLE estimates the severity of erosion, thus assisting the decision process in selecting erosion control measures. Although USLE has several limitations, it was selected because it is the simplest approach while remaining robust, and it part...

This paper will discuss the actual erosion estimation of Patria Nueva micro basin in tons/ha/year (E), located Tuxtla Gutiérrez Chiapas, Mexico. We used universal soil loss equation (USLE), considered one best theoretical tools for planning and preservation USA other countries. The rates were estimated 5, 20, 50, 100, 500 years return periods (Rp), with elevated results due to high degrees anth...

Ridge and furrow fields are land-use-related surface structures that widespread in Europe represent a geomorphological key signature of the Anthropocene. Previous research has identified various reasons for intentional unintentional formation these structures, such as use mouldboard plough, soil improvement drainage. We used GIS-based quantitative erosion modelling according to Universal Soil L...

Uncontrolled deforestation and land clearing for agricultural, urban development, infrastructure construction without considering cover management (C&P) factors have resulted in severe soil erosion over the surface of Cameron Highlands state Pahang, Malaysia. Thus, this study determines C&P Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) to forecast loss risk. Land use recorded by PLANMalaysia Depa...

Sustainable soil environment along with available water resources is critical for food security and agricultural productivity. The Korea territory consists of 65% mountainous topography the variability rainfall rapidly increasing due to climate change, thereby a risk erosion. Soil erosion by has been estimated using empirical equations accumulated data over time in U.S. since 1930 s, representa...

Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan Juli 2017 di sekitar Sub-DAS Batang Limun Kabupaten Sarolangun Provinsi Jambi. bertujuan untuk menghitung laju erosi dan menentukan tingkat bahaya yang terjadi disekitar Sub DAS Limun. Metode digunakan dalam penelitian adalah USLE (Universal Soil Loss Equation) dengan pendekatan Geographic Information System (GIS). Berdasarkan hasil menunjukkan bahwa dari sel...
