COMPARISON OF SOME DETACHABILITY INDICES IN RELATION TO SOIL ERODIBILITY ( KUSLE ) FOR CALCAREOUS SOILS [PDF]
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.

Plant canopies can protect the soil surface from raindrops and rooting activities that cause changes in biophysical properties. A low infiltration rate will reduce the soil’s capacity to store water to be low, resulting in a high soil erodibility value ...

EFFECTS OF CALCIUM CARBONATE ON THE ERODIBILITY OF SOME CALCAREOUSE SOILS BY WATER EROSION [PDF]
The behavioral changes in soil erodibility factor ( KUSLE ) due to Ca-carbonate content were determined in four calcareous soils located at northern Iraq.

The USLE soil erodibility nomograph revisited
The nomograph by Wischmeier et al. (1971) for calculating the K-factor in the USLE was extremely useful when there was low access to calculators. However, the generalised calculation of this factor requires the development of analytic procedures. This paper presents a detailed analysis of the nomograph and its underlying equation, which is applicable ...

A flume for studying the relative erodibility of soils and sediments [PDF]
A flume has been built for studying the erodibility of soils and sediments by gullying. It consists of two boxes containing undisturbed soil samples. One box is set above the other and water from a stilling tank passes over the soil of the upper box and ...

Soil erodibility mapping using three approaches in the Tangiers province –Northern Morocco
Soil erodibility is a key factor in assessing soil loss rates. In fact, soil loss is the most occurring land degradation form in Morocco, affecting rural and urban vulnerable areas. This work deals with large scale mapping of soil erodibility using three

Tolerable versus actual soil erosion rates in Europe [PDF]
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 ...

Effects of ameliorative afforestation on the erodibility factor and soil loss in the Grdelica gorge
The paper presents research carried out in the area of Grdelica gorge in 60 years old black pine (Pinus nigra Arnold.) stands. The aim of this study was to determine whether the applied planting method of ameliorative afforestation had an impact on ...
