Relation between the location of check dams and adjacent vegetation cover in ephemeral gullies (Southeast Spain)

Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpena
In Northeast Spain, gullying is a widespread phenomenon. This type of erosion is especially intense in Bardenas Reales (Navarre) where at least two major typical kinds of gully headcut are present. A first group developed ... -
AnnAGNPS ephemeral gully erosion simulation technology
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpena
Tillage-induced ephemeral gully erosion has been shown to be a significant and sometimes dominant source of sediment within a watershed. An approach has been developed within AnnAGNPS to assess the impact of conservation ... -
Runoff and sediment supply from small gullied and ungullied basins in a semi-arid grazed environment
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpena
The aim of the present study is to determine links between rainfall, runoff, gully erosion and sediments. The extent of sediment yield (suspended sediment and bedload) and runoff response from gullied and ungullied basins ... -
Alluvial gully erosion: a landscape denudation process in Northern Australia
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpena
Recent aerial reconnaissance surveys and subsequent remote sensing mapping of Australia’s tropical rivers identified alluvial gully erosion as a key sediment source (Brooks et al. 2007; Knight et al. 2007). Gully erosion ... -
Impact of root architecture, soil and flow characteristics on the erosion-reducing potential of roots during concentrated flow
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpena
In this study, the effects of roots of different root morphologies (tap roots vs. fine-branched roots) on concentrated flow erosion rates are studied experimentally. The impact of soil type, soil moisture conditions ... -
Scouring-sedimentation balance for gully reaches affected by check dams in Mediterranean environments
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpena
Many of the geomorphological impacts caused by check dams are usually fairly common in torrential channels (bed agradation upstream into the sedimentary wedges, deepening and narrowing of the bankfull channel downstream, ... -
Gully erosion in central Italy: denudation rate estimation and morphoevolution of Calanchi and Biancane badlands
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpena
Long lasting geomorphological researches (Ciccaci et al., 1981, 1986, 2003; Del Monte et al., 2006) allowed the evaluation of denudation rates in some of the major catchments of Central Italy. It was observed a noticeable ... -
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 ekarpena
The 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 ... -
Effects of slope processes and management in gullying
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2007) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpena
Most 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 ekarpena
