An overview of soil loss tolerance

Catena, 2009
As the criterion for judging whether a soil has potential risks of erosion, productivity loss and whether a river has downstream over-sedimentation as well as the ultimate criterion for erosion control for the preservation of soil productivity and environmental security in the long term, the level of soil loss tolerance (T value) must be determined in ...

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.

Rate of loss of insecticides during soil solarization and soil biosolarization

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2011
This paper reports the use of solarization and biosolarization to decontaminate a soil polluted with six insecticides (buprofezin, pirimicarb, pirimiphos methyl, pyridaben, pyriproxyfen and tebufenpyrad). In the experiment, 17-L pots filled with clay-loam soil were placed in a greenhouse during the summer season and then contaminated with the ...

Loss of controllability in unsaturated soils

European Journal of Environmental and Civil Engineering, 2009
Cet article traite de l'activation de modes d'instabilite relatifs au mouillage d'echantillons de sol non satures. Un modele constitutif pour sols non satures est developpe, auquel la theorie de la non-controlabilite est appliquee. Le modele est base sur le concept de variables conjuguees dans l'equation de l'energie.
