A Methodology for Planning Road Best Management Practices Combining WEPP: Road Erosion Modeling and Simulated Annealing Optimization
Erosion from forest roads is a known problem in mountainous terrain. To abate these negative consequences, physical Best Management Practices (BMPs) are implemented, sometimes with no knowledge of erosion hot spots. With the need to minimize water quality impacts while at the same time accounting …

Identifying Locations Of Highly Eroded Agricultural Land In The Devils Lake Basin, ND Using GIS Terrain Analysis Modeling
<p>Soil erosion modeling using terrain analysis holds great potential due to the simplicity of the models, and the ease in running the analysis in a GIS. Terrain analysis of the upper Devils Lake basin was conducted using a 3-meter Light Detection and Ranging-derived digital elevation model. …

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 …

Geoprocessing Approaches to Delineate Impoundments and Characterize Subcatchments within Kansas Reservoir Drainages
… eastern Kansas reservoir drainages and compares erosion-related traits in the context of impoundment catchment and direct runoff. The majority of sediment presently infilling Kansas reservoirs has been noted as originating from channel-bank erosion sources, not overland sources. Since …

Soil Erosion and Modeling Following Closure Best Management Practices for Bladed Skid Trails in the Ridge and Valley Region
… operations. Roads and skid trail surfaces have erosion rates that are greater than the harvest area. Forestry best management practices (BMPs) have been developed to minimize erosion on skid trails, but few projects have compared the effectiveness of different BMPs for bladed skid trails in the …

Soil Erosion from Forest Haul Roads at Stream Crossings as Influenced by Road Attributes
… mitigate problematic road attributes and reduce erosion and sediment delivery. Three erosion models, USLE-forest, RUSLE2, and WEPP were compared to trapped sediment data from the 37 forest haul road stream crossing approaches in the first study. The second study assessed model performance from …
