Erosion Control Effects of a Polymer-Based Soil Conditioner on Red Soil in Okinawa, Japan

Agronomy
Preventing soil degradation caused by water erosion is essential for sustainable agriculture and long-term agroecological development. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) polymer-based soil ...

Assessing spatial variability and erosion susceptibility of soils in hilly agricultural areas in Southern Italy

International Soil and Water Conservation Research, 2020
Soil erosion is one of the main environmental problems in the Mediterranean area. This problem is becoming even more important especially in Italy, in the Apennines, where severe erosive processes occur due to the action of concentrated running water ...

Erodibility and loss of marly drived soils

EURASIAN 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 ...

Evaluating the changes in soil erodibility factor (K) induced by exclosures of different ages, Kola Tembien, Tigray, Ethiopia

Discover Environment
Although exclosures were widely implemented to reverse land degradation processes in Tigray region, North Ethiopia, there is a lack of scientific studies on how these exclosures impact the soil erodibility factor. Therefore, this research was carried out

Comparison of potential and real erodibility of soil by wind

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2007
Areas the most susceptible to wind erosion were chosen for the comparison of potential and real erodibility of soil by wind. All the areas are located in the Southern Moravia, the south-east of the Czech Republic.
