Soil erosion is the removal of the top layer of the soil due to some physical forces. Explore the causes, effects and prevention of soil erosion.
The hilly and gully area of the Loess Plateau of China suffers some of the highest soil erosion rates on the Earth, and one of the most important reasons is irrational land-use. The study on the effects of land-use pattern on soil and water loss is helpful not only to the comprehensive...
but also beneficial to ecological safety and economic development5. Although the amount of cultivated land has been supplemented, the newly reclaimed cultivated land is different from the traditional cultivated land soil. The problems of newly reclaimed cultivated land, such as low ...
Shallow landslide susceptibility assessment in granitic rocks using GIS-based statistical methods: the contribution of the weathering grade map. Landslides 15, 1127-1142 [5] Bui, D.T., Tsangaratos, P., Nguyen, V.T., Liem, N.V., Trinh, P.T., 2020. Comparing the prediction performance ...
This study aimed to investigate the biodegradation behaviour of starch/nanocellulose/black tea extract (SNBTE) films in a 30-day soil burial test. The SNBTE films were prepared by mixing commercial starch, nanocellulose (2, 4, and 6%), and an aqueous sol
natural resources soil erosion and desertification: a form of soil degradation called soil erosion is the blowing or washing away of the topsoil by agents such as water and wind. some of the main causes of soil erosion are malpractices such as overstocking, overgrazing, deep ploughing, over-...
We conducted a study to assess how long-term drought moderates the effect of flooding on soil C, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) pools across a rainfall gradient in south-eastern Australia. We collected soil monoliths from field rainfall manipulation facilities with a 5–7 years history of ...
Flood events increase the risk of sediment erosion and hence the release of particle-bound pollutants besides other processes that can be observed during such events like transportation, lateral distribution and other. Macropollutants, such as acids, sal
Plant growth conditions were improved by sediment additions, as the yield and P uptake of ryegrass nearly doubled in treatments containing sediment compared to the control soil. While the sediment was richer in macro and micronutrients (e.g. P and N) compared to the soil, the leached N and...
a control treatment (details below). Soil organic matter levels consisted of soil with 3.0% (low SOM) and 4.1% (high SOM). Every treatment was replicated five times resulting in ((3 GBHs + 3 AIs + 1 control) × 2 SOM levels) × 5 replicates = total 70 pots....
