Microbial Effects on Soil Erodibility

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1979
Abstract This study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of three microbial species on soil erodibility. Sterilized Ames (a Typic Albaqualf) and Nicollet (an Aquic Hapludoll) soils were inoculated with species of Pseudomonas, Streptomyces , and ...

The potential of digestate as a biofertilizer in eroded soils of Lithuania

Waste Management, 2020
The objective of this work was to determine the potential of using of solid and liquid digestate, as biofertilizer and soil amendment, and to address adverse unfertile soil erosion problems after analysing areas of potential use. We found a high concentration of organic carbon in a solid fraction of the digestate, which indicates a significant ...

Nature of Soil Erodibility

1999
Inherent properties of a soil determine the extent to which that soil will erode. These properties are soil texture, soil structure, soil permeability, and the amount of soil organic matter. Soil texture consists of a mixture of soil particle sizes of sand, silt, and clay.

Measuring the Erodibility of Cohesive Soils

Building Partnerships, 2000
The scour depth around a bridge pier founded on soil or soft rock varies with time. There is no method available currently to predict the scour depth versus time curve for a bridge pier subjected to a real velocity hydrograph. Existing methods give one predicted scour depth independent of time and based on the design velocity.

Wind Erodibility of Organic Soils

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 2010
Intensively cropped organic soils are often subject to severe wind erosion. The objective of this study was to measure their physical wind erodibility properties. Four organic soils were collected from Florida, North Carolina, and Michigan.

Variability of soil physical quality and erodibility in a water-eroded cropland

CATENA, 2011
Abstract Physical degradation of the soil increases its susceptibility to erosion by water action. However, relatively few studies have evaluated the opposite, i.e., the impact of water erosion on soil erodibility. This study was conducted in a corn field in Ohio. Some sites within the field have experienced water-induced soil erosion following heavy

Eroded soils in Chelyabinsk oblast

Eurasian Soil Science, 2006
A field survey of eroded soils has been performed in Chelyabinsk oblast on a scale of 1: 100000. The areas of eroded soils and the parameters of their degradation have been determined.

Effects of Soybeans on Soil Properties Related to Soil Erodibility

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1984
Abstract Research was conducted from 1980 to 1982 to examine the relationship between soybean ( Glycine max L.) cropping and enhanced soil erodibility. Soil samples from the 1‐to10‐cm layer were taken from contiguous fields, cropped to soybeans and corn (

Mycorrhizal infectivity of eroded soils

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 1980
Abstract A method to assess the mycorrhizal inoculum infectivity of soils is described. Mature pasture soils in the North Island, New Zealand, had 6–19 mycorrhizal propagules g−1 soil. Of 31 samples taken from extensive areas of eroded soil around Gisborne and Masterton 22 had fewer than 1.0 mycorrhizal propagule g−1 soil, and 13 of these soils had ...

Soil‐Erodibility Evaluations for Soils on the Runoff and Erosion Stations

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1963
Abstract The universal soil‐loss estimating equation introduced by Wischmeier is: A = R K L S C P where A is estimated soil loss, R is the rainfall‐erosion index, K is the soil‐erodibility factor, and L, S, C, P are factors for length and percent slope, cover, and mechanical conservation practices ...
