Erosive Rainfall Thresholds Identification Using Statistical Approaches in a Karst Yellow Soil Mountain Erosion-Prone Region in Southwest China

Agriculture
Karst yellow soil is one of the most important cultivated soils in southwest China. At present, only a few studies have dealt with rainfall erosivity and erosive rainfall thresholds in the karst yellow soil region. This paper utilizes statistical methods

Mapping monthly rainfall erosivity in Europe

Science of The Total Environment, 2017
Rainfall erosivity as a dynamic factor of soil loss by water erosion is modelled intra-annually for the first time at European scale. The development of Rainfall Erosivity Database at European Scale (REDES) and its 2015 update with the extension to monthly component allowed to develop monthly and seasonal R-factor maps and assess rainfall erosivity ...

Characterization of small reservoirs in Burkina Faso [PDF]

, 2020
Small reservoirs (SRs) are used for multiple purposes in Burkina Faso and West African agroecological landscapes (Venot et al. 2012). These SRs are used for domestic (drinking, bathing and washing) and agricultural (crop, livestock and fishery) purposes,

Influence of the rainfall measurement interval on the erosivity determinations in the Mediterranean area [PDF]

, 2006
The single-storm erosion index, EI, of the USLE and RUSLE models may vary appreciably with the rainfall measurement interval, Dt. However, the effect of Dt on EI has not been investigated in the Mediterranean area.

Comparative studies on the structure of an upland African stream ecosystem [PDF]

, 2004
Upland stream systems have been extensively investigated in Europe, North America and Australasia and many of the central ideas concerning their function are based on these systems.

The increase of rainfall erosivity and initial soil erosion processes due to rainfall acidification [PDF]

Hydrological Processes, 2018
AbstractThe drastic growth of population in highly industrialized urban areas, as well as fossil fuel use, is increasing levels of airborne pollutants and enhancing acid rain. In rapidly developing countries such as Iran, the occurrence of acid rain has also increased. Acid rain is a driving factor of erosion due to the destructive effects on biota and

Modelling soil erosion and transport in the Burrishoole catchment, Newport, Co. Mayo, Ireland [PDF]

, 2005
The Burrishoole catchment is situated in County Mayo, on the northwest coast of the Republic of Ireland. Much of the catchment is covered by blanket peat that, in many areas, has become heavily eroded in recent years. This is thought to be due, primarily,

Determination of Erosivity of Enugu State [PDF]

, 2017
To combat erosion, there is need for adequate examination of soils and factors of erosion. The study of Erosivity is vital for effective soil conservational planning and agricultural activities in Enugu State of Nigeria of West Africa, and other parts of
