Assessment of the risk of soil erosion using RUSLE method and SWAT model at the M’dez Watershed, Middle Atlas, Morocco [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2020
The preservation of soil resources is a primary global concern and a permanent challenge for all Mediterranean countries. In Morocco, the capacity of dam reservoirs continues to decline from one year to the next due to the rate of siltation, mainly due ...

Impact of Road Network Development on the Spatiotemporal Soil Erosion in the Three‐River Source Region

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a vital water conservation region in China, the Three River Source Region (TRSR) plays a critical role in safeguarding regional ecological security and ensuring the sustainable utilization of water resources. In this study, the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) was employed to quantify soil erosion in the study area across three ...

A comparative study of soil erosion modelling by MMF, USLE and RUSLE

Geocarto International, 2016
AbstractThe quantitative assessment of spatial soil erosion is valuable information to control the erosion. The study area in a part of Narmada river in central India is selected. The main objective is to assess and compare the results obtained from three soil erosion models using GIS platform.

Establishing Monthly Benchmarks for Erosion Control and Vegetation Restoration Targets Across the Loess Plateau

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Establishing scientifically grounded soil erosion control targets and feasible vegetation restoration strategies is crucial for high quality development of the Chinese Loess Plateau which is severely affected by soil erosion. Currently, the commonly used tolerable soil loss (TSL) is inadequate for addressing the spatial heterogeneity in ...

Assessing Soil Vulnerability to Water Erosion Under Dam Releases Using a Multi-Criteria Approach: Case of the Sidi Aich Basin, Southwestern Tunisia

Soil Systems
Soil erosion is a significant environmental concern in arid regions, particularly in dam-regulated watersheds, where intermittent flows from sprinkler irrigation can exacerbate land degradation. This study assesses soil erosion susceptibility in the Sidi

Afforestation Partially Offsets Losses of Soil Conservation Services and Carbon Stock From Direct and Indirect Urban Expansion in China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban expansion has exerted both direct and indirect impacts on natural land and ecosystem services it supports, driven by increasing population and food demand, yet these underlying pathways remain insufficiently distinguished. Here, we quantified the losses of soil conservation services (water erosion regulation and sandstorm prevention) and

Future Soil Erosion Under Combined CMIP6 Climate Projections and Land Use/Land Cover Change: A RUSLE‐Based Assessment of the Kampe Omi Dam Basin in Nigeria

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion remains a major environmental challenge in Nigeria, driven by the combined effects of climate variability and land use/land cover (LULC) changes. Understanding future dynamics is essential for effective soil conservation planning.

Trade‐Offs and Synergies in Cultivated Land Multifunctionality and Zoning Management in the Dongting Lake Region: A Multiscale Analysis

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the multiscale patterns and interactions of cultivated land multifunctionality is important for conservation, governance, and agricultural spatial optimization in the Dongting Lake region. Using 2020 data, we evaluated economic production (EPF), social security (SSF), landscape‐based recreation (LRF), and ecological maintenance ...
