Soil erodibility mapping using three approaches in the Tangiers province –Northern Morocco

open access: yesInternational Soil and Water Conservation Research, 2016
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

Invasive earthworms erode soil biodiversity: A meta‐analysis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Investigation of Changes in Soil Erodibility Using the USLE Model and Determination of Effective Factors (Case Study: Dorahan Watershed-Borujen City) [PDF]

open access: yesعلوم آب و خاک
One of the main factors contributing to water erosion is the inherent characteristic of soil erodibility. Erodibility depends on particle size distribution, organic matter, structure, and soil permeability.

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

open access: yesDiscover 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

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

open access: yesInternational 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 ...
