The classic forms of water erosion of the soil comprise sheet, rill, and gully erosion. According to the concept most generalized, in sheet erosion, thin layers of material are uniformly removed from the soil surface due ...

Human-induced changes of landscape and the vegetation cover have been recognized in the majority of studies focusing on gully formation as one of the most important factors triggering the development of gullies throughout ...

The surface discharge from the gully catchments of the Lublin Upland (Poland) usually is not very high and amounts to about 15 mm·yr-1. It is mainly an episodic discharge of snow/rainfall regime. Surface runoff and ...

Rills and gullies, caused by concentrated flow erosion, represent an important sediment source in many environments (Poesen et al., 2003). Studies indicate that vegetation can be very effective in controlling gully ...

A case study was conducted in a part of Ilam Province, I.R. Iran, to establish a reliable model for estimating sediment yield from gully erosion. The attempt was satisfactory and led to an applicable model whose input could ...

Valley bottom gullies are a common feature in rangelands. Although these gullies are found in the bottom of drainage lines, information about the relationship between discharge and gullying is scarce (Crouch, 1990; ...

The piping process have an important development in old agricultural terraced fields. The abandonment of these fields, together with the lithologies, hydraulic and climatic characteristics favour the quick development of ...

The study has shown how the existence of gullies remarkably increases the rates of erosion and, therefore, the volume of sediments that arrives at the dikes of hydrological correction. A consequence of this is the need to ...

The present study assesses the factors controlling gully formation in a study area located in northeastern Iran. Gully erosion in northeastern Iran is very high because of the high rate of human encroachment and the resulting ...

At previous gully erosion conferences, the effect of surface seal development on gully formation and growth was analyzed (Prasad and Römkens, 2003) and the effect of hydrological conditions on gully growth was discussed (Römkens ...
