The effects of raindrop impact and runoff detachment on hillslope soil erosion and soil aggregate loss in the Mollisol region of Northeast China

open access: yesSoil and Tillage Research, 2016
Soil aggregates profoundly influence soil fertility and soil erosion. A large number of studies have showed that soil aggregate loss was mainly affected by raindrop impact and runoff detachment during hillslope erosion process; however, few ...

Storm-based CSLE that incorporates the estimated runoff for soil loss prediction on the Chinese Loess Plateau

open access: yesSoil and Tillage Research, 2018
The Loess Plateau region of China is one of the most erodible areas in the world. Several conservation practices have been considered to reduce soil and water losses in this region and a range of erosion models used to predict storm-based surface runoff ...

Changes in soil surface properties under simulated rainfall and the effect of surface roughness on runoff, infiltration and soil loss [PDF]

open access: yesGeoderma, 2023
Soil erosion by water is a result of detachment of particles or small aggregates from the soil surface followed by transport of the detached material.

Agricultural soil loss

Science, 2021
Soil Conservation The current era of major loss of agriculturally productive soils has gained relatively little public attention. It seems intuitively unnecessary to spell out what will happen to food production, hydrology, carbon sequestration, and ecological services if we allow soil erosion to proceed at current rates.

Loss of Controllability in Partially Saturated Soils

2011
A study on saturation induced soil instability is presented. A constitutive model for unsaturated soils is linked to a theoretical approach able to deal with mechanical instability of fully saturated geomaterials. The theoretical approach is therefore extended to the more general case of partially saturated soils.

Soil loss: An overview

Agro-Ecosystems, 1976
Abstract The earth's soil budget is analysed and the causes of loss and degeneration are described. The main efforts to solve the problems of soil los should be concentrated on: 1. (i) the preparation of international guidelines for conservation policy; 2. (ii) declaration of an International Soil Conservation Decade; 3.

Soil Loss Tolerance and the Economics of Soil Conservation on Swygert Soils

Illinois Agricultural Economics, 1964
decide whether the delayed returns of the future are more valuable than returns that can be obtained more rapidly. The concept of discounting future returns is important in making decisions of this nature. The discount rate establishes a time preference for the returns accruing from an investment over its useful life.
