The role of conservation soil management on soil and water protection at different spatial scales [PDF]
, 2006 Agriculture has a direct impact on the soil environment, altering soil properties, surface characteristics and erosion risk. This has led to a move away from conventional tillage to the adoption of conservation practices, aiming to minimise soil ...

Optimising soil disturbance and mulch attenuation for erosion and runoff control in asparagus crops [PDF]
, 2014 Exposure of bare soil for long periods and onsite compaction create soil and water problems in asparagus production. This project aims to develop a cost effective and practical runoff and soil erosion management system.

Evaluation of chemical amendments to control phosphorus losses from dairy slurry [PDF]
, 2011 peer-reviewedLand application of dairy slurry can result in incidental losses of phosphorus (P) to runoff in addition to increased loss of P from soil as a result of a buildup in soil test P (STP). An agitator test was used to identify the most effective

Rill morphology evolution and runoff and sediment yielding processes
Shui kexue jinzhan, 2016 In order to investigate the mutual feedback effects of rill morphology evolution on runoff and sediment,variation characteristics of runoff and sediment during the evolution of rill morphology were studied. In the current work,an indoor soil bin rainfall

Soil conservation using palm-mat geotextiles on loamy sand soils in the United Kingdom [PDF]
, 2008 Geotextile-mats constructed from Borassus aethiopum (Borassus Palm) and Mauritia flexuosa (Buriti Palm) leaves have the potential to decrease soil erosion.

Establishing soil loss tolerance: an overview
Journal of Agricultural Engineering, 2016 Soil loss tolerance is a criterion for establishing if a soil is potentially subjected to erosion risk, productivity loss and if a river presents downstream over-sedimentation or other off-site effects are present at basin scale.
