Modeling nitrogen loadings from agricultural soils in southwest China with modified DNDC [PDF]
, 2011 Degradation of water quality has been widely observed in China, and loadings of nitrogen (N) and other nutrients from agricultural systems play a key role in the water contamination.

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 ...

Experimental validation of some basic assumptions used in physically based soil [PDF]
, 2011 In spring 2009, four rill experiments were accomplished on a fallow land. Most external factors as well as discharge quantity (9 L min-1) were held constant or at least in the same range.

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.

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 ...

COMPARISON OF SOME DETACHABILITY INDICES IN RELATION TO SOIL ERODIBILITY ( KUSLE ) FOR CALCAREOUS SOILS [PDF]
Mesopotamia Journal of Agriculture, 2019 The objective of this study was to use some indices related to soil aggregate instead of soil erodibility factor KUSLE of the universal soil loss equation ( USLE ) for a selected calcareous soils.

Tolerable versus actual soil erosion rates in Europe [PDF]
, 2009 Erosion is a major threat to soil resources in Europe, and may impair their ability to deliver a range of ecosystem goods and services. This is reflected by the European Commission's Thematic Strategy for Soil Protection, which recommends an indicator ...
