Alluvial Sedimentation Associated with Logging in Low Gradient Watersheds in DeSoto National Forest, Mississippi
… the forestry industry can also negatively affect soil properties, hillslope stability, and increase sedimentation rates in local streams and rivers. The aim of this research is to determine if forestry removal causes an increase of soil erosion and how it affects floodplain sedimentation in the …

Applying the RUSLE and SEDD Equations to an Agricultural Watershed in Southwest Virginia - A Case Study in Sediment Yield Estimation Using GIS
… forested, and low density urban land uses. The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) and the Sediment Distributed Delivery (SEDD) prediction models were used to determine the quantity of eroded sediment and the sediment yield at the duck pond, respectively. These models require numerous …

Characterization of Watersheds on Fort Benning Military Reservation: Comparison of Field Data to Watershed Parameters
… to physical data. Land use, slope, and soil data were used in a modified revised universal soil loss equation (RUSLE) to create a soil erodibility index map. Wolman Pebble Count data showed that in half of the watersheds, 84% of the sampled grains were less than half a millimeter in …

Comparing Rusle LS Calculation Methods across Varying DEM Resolutions
<p>Soil erosion is a global problem that reduces land productivity and causes environmental degradation. Soil erosion models, such as the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), are used to estimate the severity and distribution of erosion. The topographic factor (LS), which combines slope …

Areal Modeling of Erosion for Environmental Nonpoint Applications (AMEENA)
… surface. Erosion is predicted based on the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), and sediment transport capacity is estimated as a function of upslope flow volume, local gradient, and land use. Gross erosion is routed to edge-of-stream with a routing algorithm that iteratively …

Geospatial analysis of specific degradation in South Korea
… Administration (KMA); (2) a detailed soil map from the National Institute of Agriculture Sciences; (3) a 5m by 5m resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM); and (4) land cover raster data at a 10 m resolution from the Ministry of Environment (ME). Seven regression models based on these …

Estimating Sediment Losses Generated from Highway Cut and Fill Slopes in the Lake Tahoe Basin
… Lake Tahoe. Furthermore, accurate predictions of soil losses from these cut and fill slopes are required to establish baseline sediment loadings, assess the effectiveness of slope stabilization improvements and track the progress towards achieving Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) reduction …

Soil erosion and conservation potential of row crop farming in mountainous landscapes of South Korea
Soils play an essential role for mankind because they provide fundamental ecosystem services required for human life, primarily for the production of food by providing the environment for plant growth. However, soils worldwide became highly threatened by human induced degradation, especially as a …

Identifying targets for multifunctional perennial cropping systems implementation through a landowner adoption preferences survey and a spatial suitability analysis
… of marginal cropland accelerates instances of soil erosion and nutrient leaching. Multifunctional land use strategies are needed to mitigate environmental impacts and as well as information tools to facilitate their implementation. Considering both farmer motivations and rural development …
