The number of different crops grown within the time span of the monthly survey also significantly (p < 0.001) drives the extent of soil erosion. The quality of drainage exposes a U-shaped influence on erosion, where a good drainage system fosters erosion and a mediocre one works against it,...
The Landsat data series (Table 1) was obtained from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) website. The Landsat-8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) and Landsat-5 Thematic Mapper (TM) were processed and analyzed to reveal the changes in LU/LC. The OLI and thermal infrared sensor (TIRS) se...
Land use and land cover (LULC) change have intense implications on soil resources, that requires research attention and global collaboration to take urgent actions. The present study attempted to analyze the impact of LULC change on soil erosion and sedi
Briefly, we conducted stratified random plot-based surveys during the summers of 2018 and 2019, with survey locations adjusted so that plots were located within homogeneous vegetation patches. GPS coordinates were collected using a Garmin GPSMAP 64s (±3 m accuracy) (Garmin, Olathe, KS, USA)....
where 𝑛n is the number of records; 𝐷𝑖Di is the value of rainfall detected by the model; 𝑂𝑖Oi indicates the precipitation value observed by ground stations; 𝐷 D¯ and 𝑂 O¯ are mean values of 𝐷𝑖Di and 𝑂𝑖Oi, respectively; 𝑁𝑅𝑆NRS is the number of...
The data used in this study for topography were graciously provided by the United States Geological Survey (USGS), explicitly sourced from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) [32]. The SRTM project was a joint venture between the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) and the Nation...
In addition, we investigate an optimal number of seismic samples that could be sent by each geophone during this period. Keywords: central control unit (CCU); geophones; seismic survey; wireless seismic data acquisition (WSDA); wireless geophone network (WGN)...
