Soil loss estimation using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation and geospatial techniques in the Upper Suvarnavathy River Basin, Karnataka, India

Journal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management
Soil erosion occurs gradually when the impact of water or wind detaches and removes soil particles, causing the soil to deteriorate. Because of its adverse effects on biomass and economic production, soil degradation is a worldwide environmental issue ...

Ultrasonic Rainbow: A Meta‐Transducer for Frequency‐Selective Elastic Wave Control via Dithering‐Based Wavenumber Tuning

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A piezoelectric meta‐transducer generates an ultrasonic rainbow, steering guided elastic waves to different angles according to frequency. A dithering‐based binary electrode design enables a closer realization of the target wavenumber filter, improving directional purity and suppressing unwanted lobes. Numerical and experimental validation demonstrates

Dynamic Simulation of the Supply and Demand of Ecosystem Windbreak and Sand Fixation Service in the Wuding River Basin

Land
Wind erosion can cause land degradation and other harmful effects. Examining the ecosystem windbreak and sand fixation service (WSFS) from the perspectives of supply and demand plays a crucial role in the continuous regulation of regional wind erosion ...

Lost ground, lost value: Investigating the relationship between soil erosion and agricultural land value

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the impact of soil erosion on agricultural land values in the United States (US) Midwest. Based on a novel county‐level panel data set with information on soil erosion levels and agricultural land values covering five census years (1997, 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017), we separately investigate the direct effect of two types ...

Assessing the Feasibility of Wearable Devices for Physiological Monitoring and Heat Risk Prediction in Outdoor Agricultural Workers

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Outdoor agricultural workers experience significant heat exposure, yet few studies have evaluated whether wearable sensors can reliably measure continuous physiological responses in real field conditions. This pilot study examined the feasibility and predictive utility of core temperature, hydration, heart rate, and movement data ...

On the Prospects for African Philosophy in Australia

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper grapples with the situation of people of African descent in Australia by working through the constitution of the body of academic philosophy in the country. It contends with the parochialism of the Australian philosophical community and the prospects for the cultivation of greater pluralism. Taking African philosophy as one possible

Study on the relationship between topological characteristics of vegetation ecospatial network and sand fixation function in the Mongolian Plateau

Kuwait Journal of Science
The spatial structure of vegetation plays a pivotal role in determining the sand fixation function of ecosystems. However, the interaction between vegetation spatial structure at the regional scale and its sand fixation function remains insufficiently ...

Relative contributions of wind and water erosion to total soil loss and its effect on soil properties in sloping croplands of the Chinese Loess Plateau

, 2018
Wind and water erosion are two dominant types of erosion that lead to soil and nutrient losses. Wind and water erosion may occur simultaneously to varying extents in semi-arid regions.
