soil erosionremote sensingThis research assessed the soil erosion threat in the Congo Nile Ridge Region of Rwanda. The study forecasted erosion by applying the Revised Universal Soil Erosion (RUSLE) with five factors (rainfall, soil, topography, cover management, and support practices) and spatial ...

Accelerating soil erosion in tropical soils poses an immediate threat to land and water resources in developing nations. With the growing population in tropical Africa and with changes in weather patterns due to global warming, land degradation presents a significant obstacle to the sustainable developme...
By observing the spatial distribution map of SOC predicted through the Cubist model (Fig.7), an overall trend can be found in the spatial distribution of SOC in the research area, with higher values in the south and north and lower values in the east and west. Numerous localized high-SOC ...
Soil erosion in Ethiopian highlands is highly consistent with land use/land cover (LULC) changes that are associated with deforestation and a decline in biodiversity. However, identifying soil erosion-prone areas and quantifying soil loss in rugged terrains and various agroecologies due to LULC change...
Degradation can result from truncation of the soil by erosion by wind, water, or tillage; changes to the soil chemical and biological environment through acidification, salinization, or contamination; accelerated loss (through erosion, decomposition, leaching, or export in crops) of nutrients derived ...
Soil erosion (SE) and climate change are closely related to environmental challenges that influence human wellbeing. However, the potential impacts of both processes in semi-arid areas are difficult to be predicted because of atmospheric variations and non-sustainable land use management. Thus, models...
Spatio-temporal variation in rainfall erosivity during 1960-2012 in the Pearl River Basin, China Accelerated soil erosion is an undesirable process that adversely affects the conservation of water and soil. Rainfall erosivity is used to measure the pot... Lai, ChengguangChen, XiaohongWang, Zhaoli...
