Estimating rainfall erosivity from daily precipitation records: a comparison among methods using data from the Ebro Basin (NE Spain) [PDF]

, 2009
Among the major factors controlling soil erosion, as vegetation cover or soil erodibility, rainfall erosivity has a paramount importance since it is difficult to predict and control by humans.

STUDY OF RAINFALL RATES AND EROSIVE PROCESSES AT THE URBAN AREA OF SÃO LUÍS – MA [PDF]

Sociedade & Natureza, 2005
The study of the rain rates is here highlighted, in order to understand the mechanisms that generate the starting point of the erosive processes. The precipitation varies spatially not only in local and regional levels, due to mechanisms that generate ...

Global rainfall erosivity assessment based on high-temporal resolution rainfall records [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
Abstract The exposure of the Earth’s surface to the energetic input of rainfall is one of the key factors controlling water erosion. While water erosion is identified as the most serious cause of soil degradation globally, global patterns of rainfall erosivity remain poorly quantified and estimates have large ...

From Grave to Cradle: Kombucha Waste for Sustainable Electronics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces a sustainable method to purify kombucha bacterial cellulose (KBC) with sodium bicarbonate and hydrogen peroxide, avoiding harsh chemicals. KBC films are patterned with gold and function as pressure sensors for flatfoot gait detection. At the end‐of‐life, the KBC‐based device biodegrades in soil, leaving environmentally benign gold

Influence of reservoir impoundment on rainfall erosivity in the Three Gorges Reservoir region of China

Hydrology Research, 2022
New dammed reservoirs are expected to have a significant effect on the regional hydrocycle, but the detailed patterns may not be well understood. Regional climate change is likely to cause soil erosion uncertainty by affecting rainfall erosivity.

Rainfall Erosivity in Southeastern Nigeria

Ethiopian Journal of Environmental Studies and Management, 2012
In developing land management plans to minimize erosion problem, it is imperative to provide quantitative information on aggressiveness of storms for identifying areas in the landscape which are sensitive to disturbances. The study established that rainfall erosivity (R) indices over Southeastern Nigeria range from very low to very high erosivity ...

Tailored Organogel Systems for Optimized Pesticide Delivery: Mechanistic Insights and Agricultural Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Utilizing molecular engineering for network design, three pesticide‐loaded organogels (PLOs) carriers exhibiting varying degrees of flexibility were prepared. The mechanical properties of these carriers, tunable via their network molecular structures, enhance their structural adaptability and retention stability at biological interfaces, thereby ...
