Abstract:
Vegetation influences erosion by stabilizing hillslopes and accelerating weathering, thereby providing a link between the biosphere and Earth’s surface. Previous studies investigating vegetation effects on erosion have proved challenging owing to poorly understood interactions between vegetation and other factors, such as precipitation and surface processes. We address these complexities along 3500 kilometers of the extreme climate and vegetation gradient of the Andean Western Cordillera (6°S to 36°S latitude) using 86 cosmogenic radionuclide–derived, millennial time scale erosion rates and mu

Dense grass covers are generally recommended for surface protection of sea dikes against mild and moderate hydraulic loads.

It is an important branch of erosion research to control soil erosion on eroded gullies and slopes by using vegetation filter strip. Several simulated rainfall experiments were carried out in soil tanks filled with loess sandy loam taken from a typical eroded gully area with less vegetation coverage in Yanghe hilly basin in Xuanhua District, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province. The soil and water conservation effects of two different vegetation setting modes were compared under the same vegetation strip width and different rainfall intensities and slopes. During the rainfall process, the changes

Abstract:
The freeze-thaw (FT) erosion is a type of soil erosion like water erosion and wind erosion. Limited by many factors, the grading evaluation of soil FT erosion quantities is not well studied. Based on the comprehensive analysis of the evaluation indices of soil FT erosion, we for the first time utilized the sensitivity of microwave remote sensing technology to soil moisture for identification of FT state. We established an estimation model suitable to evaluate the soil FT erosion quantity in Silingco watershed wetland of Northern Tibet using weighted summation method of six impact factors inclu

The climate in Indonesia is a tropical climate with high rainfall, making Indonesia vulnerable to erosion. In addition to high rainfall, vegetation, slope and soil types also affect erosion. This study aims to determine the Important Value of Species (NPJ), the relationship between rainfall and surface runoff and the mass of eroded soil and the level of erosion hazard at different vegetation densities.

Global changes have led to significant changes in soil erosion on the Loess Plateau. Soil erosion leads to the degradation of land resources and a decline in soil fertility, adversely affecting agricultural production and the socioeconomic situation. Therefore, revealing the spatiotemporal evolution patterns of soil erosion in the Loess Plateau region and investigating the influencing factors that contribute to soil erosion are crucial for its management and restoration. In this study, the RUSLE monthly model and the Geodetector model were utilized to reveal the spatiotemporal trends of soil e

Abstract. The interaction between vegetation and hydrologic processes is particularly tight in water-limited environments where a positive-feedback links water redistribution and vegetation. The vegetation of these systems is commonly patterned, that is, arranged in a two phase mosaic composed of patches with high biomass cover interspersed within a low-cover or bare soil component. These patterns are strongly linked to the redistribution of runoff and resources from source areas (bare patches) to sink areas (vegetation patches) and play an important role in controlling erosion.

Vegetation and fire archives of the late Holocene are essential for understanding the importance of natural and anthropogenic forcings on past and future vegetation successions as well as climate changes. Here we present a 1640-year record of vegetation and fire history of the Lake Haixihai catchment in northwestern Yunnan, southwest China. Pollen and charcoal analyses as well as XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis of lacustrine sediments from Lake Haixihai were employed to reveal its regional vegetation, forest fire, and soil erosion intensity changes over the last 1640 years.

Wind erosion poses a significant challenge to agricultural sustainability in Northern China’s arid regions. This study investigated the effectiveness of alfalfa grassland versus conventional cropland in controlling wind erosion across nine study sites in three agroecological regions. Using Sentinel-2 satellite imagery and the Revised Wind Erosion Equation (RWEQ) model, we analyzed vegetation cover duration and quantified soil wind erosion from 2018 to 2020. The results showed that alfalfa grassland extended vegetation cover by 80 days annually compared to cropland, with most extension occurrin

And the dynamics between vegetation and erosion is disparate under the condition of different parameters. Every equilibrium point also has a unique distribution under every set of parameters. When there are two interior equilibriums, a critical curve exists and divides the system into two areas, one is coexistence area and another is domi

Abstract Rainwater-induced erosion in green geotechnical infrastructures such as a multilayered landfill cover system (MLCS) is a severe concern in the current era. Although vegetation is a proven measure to control erosion in the MLCS, there are other factors such as infiltration rate which influence the control of the phenomenon. Most of the existing studies are limited to understand influence of vegetation on erosion control or infiltration rate alone. In this study, an attempt is made to incorporate infiltration measurements alongside vegetation cover to understand erosion in surface layer
