Analyzing the Changes of Soil Erodibility Index (K) in the Soils of Arid Regions and the Effective Factors in Central Iran (Case Study: Yazd-Ardakan Plain) [PDF]
Desert, 2012 One of the main factors of water erosion is the natural characteristics of the soil called "erodibility" or"detachability". The present study aims to analyze the variations of soil erodibility factor in different plains and thefactors related to it ...

Changes in soil susceptibility to erosion under tillage and soil fertility management practices
Circular Agricultural SystemsThe degree to which soil is susceptible to erosion is measured as soil erodibility which can be influenced by different land management options. This study evaluated the dynamics of soil erodibility to tillage and soil amendments in a maize field under ...

Soil aggregation, erodibility, and erosion rates in mountain soils (NW Alps, Italy) [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2015 Erosion is a relevant soil degradation factor in mountain agrosilvopastoral ecosystems that can be enhanced by the abandonment of agricultural land and pastures left to natural evolution.

Invasive earthworms erode soil biodiversity: A meta‐analysis [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2017 Abstract Biological invasions pose a serious threat to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning across ecosystems. Invasions by ecosystem engineers, in particular, have been shown to have dramatic effects in recipient ecosystems. For instance, invasion by earthworms, a below‐ground invertebrate ecosystem engineer, in previously earthworm‐free ...

Scale-dependent effects of tree species diversity on soil erosion resistance
Resources, Environment and SustainabilityGlobally, vegetation establishment is an important approach for controlling soil erosion, which induces land degradation. However, the understanding of the effects of tree species diversity on soil erodibility across spatial scales remains incomplete ...

Improved USLE-K factor prediction: A case study on water erosion areas in China
International Soil and Water Conservation Research, 2016 Soil erodibility (K-factor) is an essential factor in soil erosion prediction and conservation practises. The major obstacles to any accurate, large-scale soil erodibility estimation are the lack of necessary data on soil characteristics and the misuse ...

Determination of wind erosion intensity on heavy clay soils
Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2010 Wind erosion, common problem of light-textured soils, was determined on heavy clay soils in the foothills of Bílé Karpaty Mountains, Czech Republic. Soil erodibility by wind was determined from the Map of potential erodibility of soil by wind and from ...
