Relationships of soil erodibility parameters and water quality indices along Tigris Riverbanks, Baghdad City, Iraq

open access: yesCogent Engineering, 2021
One of the most important causes of river pollution is soil and water pollutions since no previous numerical studies linked the water quality indices and soil erosion parameters.

Testing fluvial erosion models using the transient response of bedrock rivers to tectonic forcing in the Apennines, Italy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The transient response of bedrock rivers to a drop in base level can be used to discriminate between competing fluvial erosion models. However, some recent studies of bedrock erosion conclude that transient river long profiles can be approximately ...

Do Markets Erode Social Responsibility [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2013
AbstractThis article studies socially responsible behavior in markets. We develop a laboratory product market in which low-cost production creates a negative externality for third parties, but where alternative production with higher costs mitigates the externality.

Investigation of Changes in Soil Erodibility Using the USLE Model and Determination of Effective Factors (Case Study: Dorahan Watershed-Borujen City) [PDF]

open access: yesعلوم آب و خاک
One of the main factors contributing to water erosion is the inherent characteristic of soil erodibility. Erodibility depends on particle size distribution, organic matter, structure, and soil permeability.

Response of soil nutrients and erodibility to slope aspect in the northern agro-pastoral ecotone, China [PDF]

open access: yesSOIL
Soil erosion, considered a major environmental and social problem, leads to the loss of soil nutrients and the degradation of soil structure and impacts plant growth.

Modeling nitrogen loading in a small watershed in southwest China using a DNDC model with hydrological enhancements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The degradation of water quality has been observed worldwide, and inputs of nitrogen (N), along with other nutrients, play a key role in the process of contamination.

Assessing the Global Sensitivity of RUSLE Factors: A Case Study of Southern Bahia, Brazil

open access: yesSoil Systems
Global sensitivity analysis (GSA) of the revised universal soil loss equation (RUSLE) factors is in its infancy but is crucial to rank the importance of each factor in terms of its non-linear impact on the soil erosion rate. Hence, the goal of this study

The Effect of Nanocellulose Content in Hydrogel Nanocomposites on the Strength of the Crusts (Case Study: Sand Dune Sample of Abuzidabad Siazgeh Desert) [PDF]

open access: yesعلوم آب و خاک, 2023
Maintaining soil structure and stability is essential, especially in arid and semi-arid regions with poor soil structural stability. Destruction of soil and its crust can cause wind erosion and desertification.

Laboratory study on the effects of hydraulic and granulometric parameters on the response of granular soil to internal erosion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Erosion is a major environmental problem to agricultural land as well as to civil engineering infrastructures. Rainwater infiltration into granular soils can lead to the migration of fine particles by suffusion.
