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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

The objectives of the present study were to experimentally determine the time-mean turbulent flow characteristics within fixed-bed models of headcut scour holes typical of upland concentrated flows to assess soil erosion ...

The 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.

Gullies are extensively distributed in the Upper Yangtze River Basin, SW-China. But the impact of these gullies on total sediment output is still not clear because there is no reliable technique for quantifying this issue. ...

The overall objective of the proposed research is to identify and quantify landscape attributes and hydrologic conditions that can be used to assess hillslope seepage and ephemeral gully erosion. We propose to use three ...

The major aim of this paper is to critically review the theoretical concepts that are underpinning current models of rill flow and sediment detachment in the light of recent experimental results and, when necessary, to ...
