Quantify distribution of topsoil erodibility factor for watersheds that feed the Al-Shewicha trough – Iraq using GIS

open access: yesOpen Engineering, 2022
Soil functions such as water storage, soil filtration, and reducing reservoir life due to sediment load are directly affected by the process of “soil erosion.” The Universal Soil Loss Equation was adopted to predict the erodibility factor for watersheds ...

Soil Properties Governing Erodibility of Cuban Soils: A Univariate Erodibility Equation

open access: yesSoil Systems
Accelerated water erosion is a major soil degradation process that affects soil and water quality. In Cuba, specifically, more than 40% of agricultural lands are affected by severe erosion problems.

Food Insecurity Erodes Trust

open access: yesGlobal Food Security, 2023
This study examines the relationship between food insecurity and trust using the 2014-17 waves of the Gallup World Poll and the Food and Agriculture Organization’s Food Insecurity Experience Scale. Trust improves public institutions, social capital, public health interventions, and economic ...

Changes in soil susceptibility to erosion under tillage and soil fertility management practices

open access: yesCircular Agricultural Systems
The degree to which soil is susceptible to erosion is measured as soil erodibility which can be influenced by different land management options. This study evaluated the dynamics of soil erodibility to tillage and soil amendments in a maize field under ...

Different technologies of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivation and their effects on water runoff and soil erosion

open access: yesPlant, Soil and Environment, 2023
Surface runoff and soil losses in the case of potato cultivation using de-stoning technology on gentle slopes (Haplic Cambisol) were studied in 2020-2022.

Scale-dependent effects of tree species diversity on soil erosion resistance

open access: yesResources, Environment and Sustainability
Globally, vegetation establishment is an important approach for controlling soil erosion, which induces land degradation. However, the understanding of the effects of tree species diversity on soil erodibility across spatial scales remains incomplete ...

Model Behavior and Sensitivity in an Application of the Cohesive Bed Component of the Community Sediment Transport Modeling System for the York River Estuary, VA, USA

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2014
The Community Sediment Transport Modeling System (CSTMS) cohesive bed sub-model that accounts for erosion, deposition, consolidation, and swelling was implemented in a three-dimensional domain to represent the York River estuary, Virginia. The objectives

Determination of Watershed Infiltration and Erosion Parameters from Field Rainfall Simulation Analyses

open access: yesHydrology, 2016
Realistic modeling of infiltration, runoff and erosion processes from watersheds requires estimation of the effective hydraulic conductivity (Km) of the hillslope soils and how it varies with soil tilth, depth and cover conditions.
