Modeling the dynamics of soil erosion and size-selective sediment transport over nonuniform topography in flume-scale experiments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Soil erosion and the associated nutrient fluxes can lead to severe degradation of surface waters. Given that both sediment transport and nutrient sorption are size selective, it is important to predict the particle size distribution (PSD) as well as the ...

Estimating typical sediment concentration probability density functions for European rivers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Sediment in rivers is linked with qualitative and quantitative water problems throughout Europe. Sediment supply and transfer are part of a natural process of minimising gradients in the landscape.

The erodibility of fine sediment deposits in lowland chalk streams [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
PhDLowland chalk streams in the UK are experiencing increased deposition of fine sediment due to changes in land-use practices, channel modifications, and groundwater abstraction.

Erosion and Sedimentation [PDF]

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1999
According to legend, a conversation that took place more than 70 years ago between Albert Einstein and his eldest son, Hans Albert Einstein, gives rise to the favorite anecdote of every scientist or engineer working in the field of sediment transport. During this conversation, Hans told his father of his intent to carry out research on the mechanics of

Understanding sediment connectivity from soil erosion perspective

open access: yesShui kexue jinzhan, 2021
Sediment connectivity is closely related to geomorphology, topography, ecological hydrology, soil erosion, nutrient and pollutant movement, and water quality conservation. As one of the hot topics in soil erosion research during the past decade, sediment

Identification of Sediment Sources Based on Grain Size of Soil

open access: yesShuitu baochi yanjiu, 2023
[Objective] The research aims to reveal the influence of wind action on water erosion in the wind-water composite erosion area of the Loess Plateau, provide an effective method support for the identification of erosion material sources with different ...

Landscape connectivity and sediment regulation ecosystem services in a semi-arid Mediterranean watershed: Insights from the Nfifikh basin (Morocco) using the InVEST SDR model [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Bulgarian Geographical Society
Soil erosion and sediment transport represent major environmental challenges in semi-arid Mediterranean watersheds, where high erosion rates do not necessarily translate into high sediment delivery to river systems.

Two-dimensional (2D) numerical modelling of rainfall induced overland flow, infiltration and soil erosion: comparison with laboratory rainfall-runoff simulations on a two-directional slope soil flume

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2021
This paper presents a two-dimensional (2D) numerical model of soil erosion and sediment transport resulting from rainfall induced overland flow. It is a spatial and temporal dynamic model combining physical and empirical laws and comprises: i) An ...
