Soil Erosion and Controls in the Slope-Gully System of the Loess Plateau of China: A Review
The Loess Plateau has long been suffering from serious soil erosion of which erosion from the slope-gully system is now dominant. The slope-gully system is characterized with distinctive erosion distribution zones consisting of inner and inter gully ...

Evaluation of soil erosion risk and sedimentation potential by using EPM model in Gabric basin- SE Hormozgan- Iran [PDF]
Soil erosion is a complex process that is difficult to measure the true extent of that. For analysis of runoff, erosion, and sediment is needed a deep understanding of production processes.The statistical methods often are used for calculating the total ...

Understanding sediment connectivity from soil erosion perspective
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

Lateral Marsh Edge Erosion as a Source of Sediments for Vertical Marsh Accretion [PDF]
With sea level rise accelerating and sediment inputs to the coast declining worldwide, there is concern that tidal wetlands will drown. To better understand this concern, sources of sediment contributing to marsh elevation gain were computed for Plum ...

Modeling Sediment Transport and Assessing Erosion and Sedimentation Status in the HARAZ River Watershed based on the Ecosystem Services Concept. [PDF]
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Effective river basin management requires understanding sediment transport dynamics and their impact on ecosystem services to mitigate soil erosion and sedimentation. This study emphasizes the novel integration of the ecosystem

Evaluating the importance of surface soil contributions to reservoir sediment in alpine environments: a combined modelling and fingerprinting approach in the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park [PDF]
Soil in alpine environments plays a key role in the development of ecosystem services and in order to maintain and preserve this important resource, information is required on processes that lead to soil erosion.

Enrichment of organic carbon in sediment transport by interrill and rill erosion processes [PDF]
Erosion and loss of organic carbon (OC) result in degradation of the soil surface. Rill and interrill erosion processes on a silt loam soil were examined in laboratory rainfall and flume experiments.
