Effect of Land Use Change on Gully Erosion Density in the Black Soil Region of Northeast China From 1965 to 2015: A Case Study of the Kedong County

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2021
Kedong County is typical of the black soil region of northeast China in being highly susceptible to accelerated soil erosion by gullying. Using data sourced from Corona satellite imagery for 1965, SPOT5 for 2005 and GF-1 for 2015, the spatial ...

Application of the GIS in the Determination of Susceptible Areas to Gully Erosion Using the Analytic Network Process (ANP) [PDF]

open access: yesپژوهش‌های آبخیزداری, 2018
Gully erosion is types of water erosion that its occurrence and development lead to the loss of fertile agricultural soil, depletion of soil and groundwater. The objectives of this study were to investigate gully erosion and determine the sensitive areas

Gully erosion risk in Hungary [PDF]

open access: yesWIT Transactions on Information and Communication Technologies, 2012
In Hungary more than one-third of agricultural land is affected by water erosion; 16% by wind erosion. The role of gully erosion has been recognized only lately. The main factor of gully erosion risk is soil parent material, i.e. unconsolidated sediments, mainly loess covering two thirds of the country area.

Quantitative Attribution Analysis of the Spatial Differentiation of Gully Erosion in the Black Soil Region of Northeast China

open access: yesGeofluids, 2022
Gully erosion is the major soil erosion type in the black soil region of Northeast China. However, studies on multifactor synthesis at a large scale and on the driving mechanism of spatial differentiation are still relatively lacking for gully erosion in

Seasonal surface drainage of sloping farmland : a review of its hydrogeomorphic impacts [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.
