Soil Erosion from Forest Haul Roads at Stream Crossings as Influenced by Road Attributes
… road gradients ranged from 1% to 13%, bare soil ranged from 2% to 94%, and distances to nearest water control structures ranged from 8.2 to 427.0 m. Such a wide spectrum of road attributes with relatively low levels of trapped sediment indicate that contemporary BMPs can mitigate problematic …

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 …

An Improved Water-Driven Sediment Yield Model for Cold Agricultural Regions
… world’s freshwater, typically from water-driven erosion occurring in agricultural regions, is a significant source of pollution and damage to the aquatic environment. Excess sediment erosion promotes the transport of phosphorus to lakes, which can increase cyanobacterial growth, cause …

Evaluation of Best Management Practices for Bladed Skid Trail Erosion Control and Determination of Erosion Model Accuracy and Applicability
… the majority of sediment is produced from erosion on highly disturbed areas, such as skid trails, haul roads, and log landings. Erosion from silvicultural activities not only has the potential to introduce sediment into waterways but can also decrease site productivity through the removal …

Estimating Sediment Losses Generated from Highway Cut and Fill Slopes in the Lake Tahoe Basin
… nature. Therefore, understanding the erosion mechanisms (rainfall-runoff and dry ravel), the magnitude of erosion rates and the particle-size distribution (PSD) of the eroded material from these highly disturbed slopes, as well as quantifying the load reductions achieved through slope …
