Soil erosion on the bottom of hollows in steppe zone of Ukraine
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaSoil erosion, undoubtedly, is one of the main ecological and agricultural problems in the world. Quantity of eroded lands in Ukraine achieves 10.5 millions ha. Annual losses of soil constitutes about 600 millions tons ... -
Seepage erosion impacts on edge-of-field gully erosion
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaConcentrated flow is generally considered the controlling mechanism for gully erosion whereas subsurface flow is often overlooked. The two mechanisms of subsurface flow attributed to gully erosion are seepage flow and ... -
The role of preferential flow through soil-pipes in ephemeral gully erosion
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaThe objective of this study was to quantify the hydrologic conditions under which discontinuous soil-pipes reestablish ephemeral gullies and continuous soil-pipes initiate ephemeral gullies. -
Agricultural land use, piping and gullies activity in the Huelva lower valley (Saragossa, Spain)
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaThe variations in the total amount of surface used for arable crops both for dry farming and fallow land, with regard to the different “agricultural policies”, have modified the natural dynamics of some processes such ... -
Improving the structural stability of cropped soils in Olite (Navarre) using conservation tillage to reduce water erosion
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaThe objective of this work was to compare the soil wet aggregate stability and its relationship to the soil organic matter stock in an agricultural soil under different types of tillage in a semi-arid area of Northern Spain. -
Effects of slope processes and management in gullying
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaMost erosion studies have been typically done in rill and interrill areas because the complexity of gullies and their large size have made their study very difficult. Morgan (1979) and Hudson (1985) define gullies as water ... -
Evaluating airborne laser scanning for gully erosion detection and baseline mapping in the Fitzroy catchment, QLD, Australia
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaAustralia’s climate and land management practises have resulted in an increased threat to land condition and water quality through sediment transported by gully erosion. The Fitzroy River catchment is located in Queensland ... -
Hydrological effects of the sediments deposited off a hillslope affected by rill erosion: project outlines and preliminary results
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaThe main objectives of this project are (i) to evaluate the sedimentation rate generated by rill erosion in a hillslope and the granulometric characteristics of the sediment deposited off this hillslope, and (ii) to ... -
Gully erosion on cinder cones of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain)
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaThe aim of this study is to observe the evolution of gully erosion on cinder cones over time and verify whether or not age is a critical factor in the level of degradation of scoria cones, independent of other factors. -
Ephemeral gullies: to till or not to till?
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaWhile the perceived magnitude of ephemeral gully erosion may be masked after gullies are repaired, the action of plowing in these channels reduces topsoil thickness and crop productivity over a much wider area than the ... -
Modelling the occurrence of gullies in semi-arid areas of south-west Spain
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaModern predictive models represent a powerful tool for predicting and analyzing geomorphological phenomena like gullying. The model obtained presents a high percentage of success in classifying gullied and ungullied ... -
Ephemeral gully headcut development and migration in stratified soils
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaThe objectives of the current study were: (1) to quantify the effect of an erosion resistant (ER) soil layer placed at various depths within a soil profile on headcut development and migration; and (2) to assess the ... -
Prehistoric and modern impacts on gully formation on the loess hills of northern Mississippi, USA
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaIn this work the authors present two sites that will help understand the processes that drive gully formation in the uplands of northern Mississippi and how these processes are affected by anthropomorphic influences. The ... -
Urban gullies in São Luis City, Maranhão State, Brazil
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaUrban gully erosion is a serious problem in São Luís City, Maranhão State, Brazil.

Ephemeral gully erosion research: processes and modeling
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaThe USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) defines ephemeral gullies as small channels that can be filled in by normal tillage operations only to reform in the same location by subsequent runoff events. Ephemeral ... -
