Runoff and Sediment Yields from Runoff Plots on Chained Pinyon-Juniper Sites in Utah [PDF]
and 150~cm depths in the woodland is due in part to deeper root penetration by the pinyon and juniper trees. Crested wheatgrass roots are concentrated in the surface 45 cm of soil profile, while juniper and pinyon roots are concentrated in the upper 90 cm of soil profile with sinker roots that penetrate even further.

Forecasting of Runoff and Sediment Yield Using Artificial Neural Networks
Runoff and sediment yield from an Indian watershed during the monsoon period were forecasted for differ-ent time periods (daily and weekly) using the back propagation artificial neural network (BPANN) modeling technique. The results were compared with those of single- and multi-input linear transfer function models.

Interdisciplinary on-site evaluation of stone bunds to control soil erosion on cropland in Northern Ethiopia [PDF]
Since two decades, stone bunds have been installed in large areas of the Tigray Highlands, Northern Ethiopia, to control soil erosion by water. Field studies were conducted to quantify the effectiveness, efficiency, side effects and acceptance of stone ...

Simulation runoff and sediment yield in a harvested forest (Case study: Zailakirood Basin, northern Iran) [PDF]
In this research, the impacts of forest operation and road construction on runoff and sediment yield were investigated in Zailakirood Basin. As there was only one hydrometric station and sediment measurement at the outlet of the basin, estimation of ...
