Soil erodibility in European mountain beech forests [PDF]

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Forest Research, 2021
Forests in Europe are currently not endangered by soil erosion. However, this can change with climate change or with intensified forest management practices. Using a newly established network of plots in beech forests across Europe, the aims of this study were to (i) distinguish soil properties and erodibility indices in relation to bedrock, (ii ...

Suitability of Universal Soil Loss Erodibility, Inter-rill and Rill Erodibility Models for Selected Tropical Soils

open access: yesAgricultura Tropica et Subtropica, 2017
The universal soil loss equation (USLE) and water erosion prediction project (WEPP) (inter-rill and rill) erodibility factors are important indicators for land degradation assessment all over the world, which were primarily developed for the United ...

High-resolution digital mapping of soil erodibility in China

open access: yesGeoderma
Soil erodibility (K) is the intrinsic susceptibility of a soil to water erosion. Currently, its detailed and accurate spatial distribution information especially over large areas is urgently required for national and regional soil erosion assessment and ...

Digital mapping of soil erodibility for water erosion in New South Wales, Australia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Soil erodibility represents the soil's response to rainfall and run-off erosivity and is related to soil properties such as organic matter content, texture, structure, permeability and aggregate stability.

Soil erodibility in Europe: a high-resolution dataset based on LUCAS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The greatest obstacle to soil erosion modelling at larger spatial scales is the lack of data on soil characteristics. One key parameter for modelling soil erosion is the soil erodibility, expressed as the K-factor in the widely used soil erosion model ...

Erodibility and loss of marly drived soils

open access: yesEURASIAN JOURNAL OF SOIL SCIENCE (EJSS), 2015
Considering to high distribution of the marly lands in west Azerbaijan province and high sediment yield of such lands, in this research, the relation among the form and the rate of erosion on marls with their erodibility properties were studied. Therefore, marly regions of province with the special properties were recognized and the soils samples were ...

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 ...

A COMPARISON STUDY BETWEEN EPIC AND MODIFIED EPIC MODELS IN ASSESSING THE ERODIBILITY FOR ALLUVIAL SOILS [PDF]

open access: yesMesopotamia Journal of Agriculture, 2021
The  study aimed to determine the effect of spatial variability on the  erodibility factor (K-factor) for alluvial  soils located at Tigris river bank using two empirical models ,KEPIC and modified KEPIC( Kr).The studied alluvial soils were extended ...
