Effects of terracing on root distribution of Pinus tabulaeformis Carr. forest and soil properties in the Loess Plateau of China [PDF]

, 2020
Terracing is one of the most effective ecological engineering practices that improve soil anti-erosivity properties and support plant growth in the dryland loess hilly area and other similar regions.

The influence in rainfall erosivity calculation by using different temporal resolution in Mediterranean area [PDF]

Rainfall erosivity (EI30) is crucial to characterize the rainfall effect on soil erosion based on storm intensity. Its calculation is highly sensitive to the time resolution used, in which using rainfall data at fixed time intervals (ΔΤ) >30-min ...

Cavitation erosion of low-density polyethylene coatings for pipe liners

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2015
The relationship between mechanical properties and the erosion rate was examined for chloroprene rubber and a number of polyethylene materials produced by different methods. As electric power plants are in operation over long periods of time, the effect of aging was also examined by testing material intended for use in pipes in electric power plants ...

Quantifying soil erosion and soil organic carbon conservation services in indian forests: A RUSLE-SDR and GIS-based assessment

Ecological Indicators
Indian forests, having sixteen types of vegetation, provide various ecosystem services. Forests reduce water erosion of soil, reduce floods and conserve low river flow during dry seasons.

Terrestrial Photogrammetry–GIS Methodology for Measuring Rill Erosion at the Sparacia Experimental Area, Sicily

Remote Sensing
Rill erosion is a major issue on a global scale, and predicting the presence, position, and development of erosive forms on hillslopes is a significant challenge for the scientific community. Several plot-scale investigations confirmed the reliability of

Optimization of vulnerability assessment through socio-economic data spatialization for enhanced landslide risk evaluation

Open Geosciences
In response to issues in regional landslide risk evaluation (LRE), such as the over-reliance on administrative unit statistics for vulnerability characterization and the difficulty in capturing the fine-scale spatial heterogeneity of socio-economic ...

Improving rehabilitation practices for the outer batter slopes of bauxite residue disposal areas at Worsley refinery, Collie, Western Australia [PDF]

, 2002
Control of water erosion of soil at mine sites requires an ability to predict the effects of different management practices on soil loss. Using soil loss models such as the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) requires calibration of the model ...
