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

Preparation of Erosion Susceptibility Map of Dhaman Khadi Sub-Watershed in Eastern Gujarat Using ArcGIS Interface [PDF]

, 2016
An attempt has been made to model land degradation in term of water erosion of selected Dhaman Khadi sub-watershed (7710.64 ha.) in Eastern Gujarat, India through Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation using ArcGIS interface.

Rainfall Erosivity Factor Update in Uruguay

Agrociencia Uruguay, 2022
The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and its revised form (RUSLE) are the soil erosion models incorporated into the EROSION 6.0 software. This, in turn, is the soil conservation planning tool used to fulfill the soil conservation regulations in Uruguay.

Environmental heterogeneity and spatial variation mediates plant diversity and ecosystem stability in mountain ecosystems of the Mediterranean Andes

Ecography, EarlyView.
Globally, mountains are highly diverse ecosystems that serve as natural laboratories for testing ecological theories, while providing vital ecosystem services. Their biodiversity arises from the interaction between elevational gradients and topographic complexity, which generate strong variation in environmental conditions across short spatial scales ...

Shifting baselines increase the risk of misinterpreting biodiversity trends

Ecography, EarlyView.
Ecological studies quantifying the impact of land‐use change on biodiversity may be sensitive to the choice of reference points – or baselines – particularly when sampling across human land‐use gradients and other space‐for‐time comparisons. Much depends on whether the chosen baseline has already undergone shifts in species composition because of ...

A comparison between soil loss evaluation index and the C-factor of RUSLE: a case study in the Loess Plateau of China [PDF]

, 2012
Land use and land cover are most important in quantifying soil erosion. Based on the C-factor of the popular soil erosion model, Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) and a scale-pattern-process theory in landscape ecology, we proposed a multi ...

Nature‐Based Solutions for Climate Adaptation: Review of Barriers to Adoption and Guidelines for Policymakers

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nature‐based solutions (NBS) for climate adaptation encompass a range of approaches that work with nature to increase resilience to climate change while providing ecological, economic and social co‐benefits. These solutions have frequently been put forward for application in urban contexts, such as the creation of urban forests, but can ...

Rainfall erosivity in interrill areas: Insights about the choice of an erosive factor

CATENA, 2019
Defining a suitable erosive factor for interrill erosion has been a long-going discussion that was not resolved by experimental results.: Insights about the choice of an erosive factor. In this paper, by using computational fluid simulations of individual raindrop impacts, the relevance of four erosive factors was assessed for a range of soil ...

Soil organic matter and mineral content as crucial factors for the fate of tetracycline in soils

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Soil self‐cleaning ability and bioavailability of different pollutants are strongly dependent on the soil properties. It is not easy to determine effects of individual soil characteristics because they can impact together often in a synergic effect.
