Spatial-temporal trends of rainfall erosivity and its implication for sustainable agriculture in the Wei River Basin of China

, 2020
Water and soil are important natural resources for agricultural development. Soil erosion is a worldwide problem threatening sustainable agriculture development. Rainfall is one of the major natural factors that cause soil erosion.

Erosion and Erosion Control

2007
Soil is a complex, constantly changing resource. It affects the life of plants and thereby all animals, and is affected by plants and animals. Soil is the primary medium of growth for plants. It supplies nutrients, water, and a place to anchor roots. Soil has an economic value, that with the most value being topsoil because it is the primary source of ...

Methods of assessing erosion and erosive potential

European Journal of Oral Sciences, 1996
Methods for use in vitro are reviewed first, classified under the examination of extracted teeth, chemical and physical methods, digital image analysis, scanning electron microscopy and other potentially useful techniques. Methods for recording erosion in laboratory animals are dealt with next, including techniques that can also be used in vitro ...

Reexamination of the Xie model and spatiotemporal variability in rainfall erosivity in mainland China from 1960 to 2018

, 2020
Soil erosion has become one of the most serious global environmental and ecological crises. Rainfall erosivity measures the potential ability of precipitation to trigger soil erosion.

Erosion and Erosion-Corrosion

2007
Abstract This chapter discusses the erosion and erosion-corrosion behaviors of metals and alloys. It includes data primarily related to particle-laden gas streams impacting on the metal surface. It also covers properties and applications and provides guidelines for materials selection.

Erosion and Erosion-Corrosion of Metals

Corrosion, 1995
The loss of material from the surface of a metal being impacted by small, solid particles carried in a flowing gas occurs by a sequence of mechanical actions.The present work, which was presented as the plenary lecture at CORROSION/95, describes the mechanisms that occur on ductile and brittle materials and relates these mechanisms to surface loss ...

Spatio-temporal variation in rainfall-runoff erosivity due to climate change in the Lower Niger Basin, West Africa

CATENA, 2019
Spatio-temporal variation in rainfall-runoff erosivity resulting from changes in rainfall characteristics due to climate change has implications for soil and water conservation in developing countries. Understanding past and future variations in rainfall-

Calibration and validation of rainfall erosivity estimators for application in Rwanda

, 2020
Rainfall erosivity is one of the most important erosion factors in tropical humid areas including Rwanda. Its current application in erosion modelling is often restricted to the use of externally validated erosivity indices based on annual or monthly ...

Erosion and Erosion Protection

2010
One of the greatest challenges in the use of infrared windows and domes is to protect them from damage by particle impact. Collisions with raindrops are a problem at the velocities of airplanes and missiles. Figure 7.1 shows the damage to a missile dome after traversing a rainfield on the rocket sled in Fig. 7.2.

Erosive osteoarthritis

Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism, 1993
Erosive osteoarthritis is a disorder that most often involves the hands of postmenopausal women. It can begin abruptly with pain, swelling, and tenderness. Distal interphalangeal joints are involved most frequently, followed by proximal interphalangeal joints. Occasionally there is metacarpophalangeal, carpal, or large joint involvement.
