It is widely recognized that vegetation restoration plays a key role in controlling soil erosion
in China's Loess Plateau. However, the effects of vegetation types on soil erosion on steep …

Global climate has changed over the past century. Precipitation amounts and intensities are
increasing. In this study we investigated the response of seven soil erosion models to a few …

The main purpose of this article is to analyze runoff and soil loss in relation to land use and
rainfall regimes in a loess hilly area of China. Based on 14 years of field measurements and …

Quantification of soil detachment rates is necessary to establish a basic understanding of
soil erosion processes and to develop fundamental‐based erosion models. Many studies …

Sheet sediment transport was modelled by artificial neural networks (ANNs). A three-layer
feed-forward artificial neural network structure was constructed and a back-propagation …

Few studies have addressed the role of raindrop impact on hydrodynamic mechanism of soil
erosion. In this study, rainfall simulation experiments were conducted to evaluate the role of …

Although both raindrop driven processes and diffusion play important roles in the transfer of
chemicals from soil to surface runoff, current transport models either do not consider the two …

Discusses the latest information regarding the processes and mechanisms responsible for
runoff and erosion by water in arable lands--detailing state-of-the-art water and soil …

Utilizing the rainfall intensity, and slope data, a fuzzy logic algorithm was developed to
estimate sediment loads from bare soil surfaces. Considering slope and rainfall as input …

A simple modeling and laboratory investigation was carried out to investigate the raindrop
effects on both sediment detachment and chemical transport from soil–water into runoff …
