ABSTRACT By altering hydrological and geomorphological processes at watershed scales, humans have substantially influenced the movement of sediment on Earth's surface. Despite widespread recognition of human impacts on erosion and deposition, few studies have assessed the magnitude of change in watershed‐scale sediment fluxes before and after the ...

A Benefit Cost Analysis of a Soil Erosion Control Program for the Northern Watershed of Lake Chicot, Arkansas [PDF]
Lake Chicot, a 5,025-acre oxbow lake created by the ancient meandering of the Mississippi River, is located near the town of Lake Village in Chicot County of southeastern Arkansas (Fig. 1). Today the lake is separated into a northern basin of 1,154 acres

Soil Erosion: A Review of Models and Applications [PDF]
Soil erosion is a global environmental problem influenced by both natural and human factors. Modeling provides a quantitative and consistent approach to estimate soil erosion and sediment yield under a wide range of conditions, and is needed to guide the

Predicting rainfall kinetic energy under forest canopies—A pilot study using ULS
We applied the vegetation splash factor to predict the effect of vegetation on kinetic energy of rainfall and validated it with field data for the first time. Abstract Rainfall erosivity, expressed in kinetic energy, is determined by intensity, velocity and drop size distribution. In natural precipitation, these properties vary and can be substantially

L'Osservatorio delle disuguaglianze dell'Azienda USL di Ferrara
È ormai riconosciuto che bassa condizione socio-economica e limitato sviluppo culturale possono agire negativamente sul benessere individuale e sul livello di salute collettiva e determinano criticità nell’accesso alle cure, fenomeni che appaiono prevedibili, prevenibili e correggibili per migliorare la qualità e l’efficienza del sistema sanitario ...

Abstract The promise of bioenergy crops includes their high productivity, suitability for marginal land, and environmentally friendly effects. Utilizing a previously calibrated Soil and Water Assessment Tool model, the effects of replacing corn with perennial bioenergy crops of Alamo switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) and Miscanthus × giganteus on soil ...

Evaluating Watershed Response Using WEPPcloud—EU for Wildfire Burned Areas in Portugal
We tested WEPPcloud—European Union (EU) model on two burned catchments in Portugal, revealing the importance of local data for accurate simulation. Incorporating national and catchment‐specific data decreased equifinality and simplified model calibration.

The curve number (CN) is estimated from rainfall‐runoff plot data. It is effective for events producing rills and with rainfall depth P over the median value recorded at the station. The simulated runoff can be incorporated into the USLE‐MB to satisfactorily predict soil loss, Ae, due to the simultaneous occurrence of interrill and rill erosion ...
