Rainfall Erosivity in Soil Erosion Processes [PDF]
Water, 2020 Regional studies on the erosive power of rainfall patterns are still limited and the actual impacts that may follow on erosional and sedimentation processes are poorly understood. Given the several interrelated challenges of environmental management, it is also not always unclear what is relevant for the development of adaptive and integrated ...

Science of The Total Environment, 2015 Rainfall is one the main drivers of soil erosion. The erosive force of rainfall is expressed as rainfall erosivity. Rainfall erosivity considers the rainfall amount and intensity, and is most commonly expressed as the R-factor in the USLE model and its revised version, RUSLE.

Rainfall erosivity in Central Chile
Journal of Hydrology, 2011 Summary One of the most widely used indicators of potential water erosion risk is the rainfall-runoff erosivity factor (R) of the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE). R is traditionally determined by calculating a long-term average of the annual sum of the product of a storm’s kinetic energy (E) and its maximum 30-min intensity (I30), known ...

Seasonal changes in the soil hydrological and erosive response depending on aspect, vegetation type and soil water repellency in different Mediterranean microenvironments [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2013 Mediterranean areas are characterized by a strong spatial variability that makes the soil hydrological response highly complex. Moreover, Mediterranean climate has marked seasons that provoke dramatic changes on soil properties determining the runoff ...

Quantitative Kinetic Energy Estimated from Disdrometer Signal [PDF]
, 2020 The kinetic energy of the rain drops was predicted in a relation between the rain rate and rain quantity, derived directly from the rain drop size distribution (DSD), which had been measured by a disdrometer located in the eastern state of Alagoas ...

The most extreme rainfall erosivity event ever recorded in China up to 2022: the 7.20 storm in Henan Province [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2023 Severe water erosion occurs during extreme storm events. Such an exceedingly severe storm occurred in Zhengzhou in central China on 20 July 2021 (the 7.20 storm). The magnitude and frequency of occurrence of this storm event were examined in terms of how

Seasonal surface drainage of sloping farmland : a review of its hydrogeomorphic impacts [PDF]
, 2015 The combination of runoff-generating areas (saturated soils) and overland flow concentration in features such as drainage ditches makes sloping farmland vulnerable to soil erosion.

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Rainfall erosivity causes considerable environmental damage by driving soil loss. However, the long-term evolution of erosive forcing (over centennial to millennial time-scales) remains essentially unknown. Using a rainfall erosivity model (REMARB), this

Soil losses from typic cambisols and red latosol as related to three erosive rainfall patterns
Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2013 Rainfall erosivity is one of the main factors related to water erosion in the tropics. This work focused on relating soil loss from a typic dystrophic Tb Haplic Cambisol (CXbd) and a typic dystrophic Red Latosol (LVdf) to different patterns of natural ...
