Soil erosion by water is one of the most severe soil degradation processes. Splash initial stage water, resulting from destructive force rain drops acting on surface aggregates. Apart rainfall properties, constant physical properties (texture and organic matter) are crucial in understanding splash erosion. However, there lack information about effect variable such as content condition (seal formation) The objective present study was to determine how affected under simulated rainfall. changes...
This paper addresses changes in land use and the spatial distribution of units their influence on soil erosion risk two areas with a different geomorphology historical political development: an intensively-used lowland agricultural watershed central Bohemia, Czech Republic, partially hilly wine-producing municipality northern Austria. Our analyses sum up development these study sites, which forces driving structure differ due to background countries since World War II. A definition landscape...
Optical disdrometers can be used to estimate rainfall erosivity; however, the relative accuracy of different is unclear. This study compared three types optical laser-based quantify differences in measured characteristics and develop correction factors for kinetic energy (KE). Two identical PWS100 (Campbell Scientific), one Laser Precipitation Monitor (Thies Clima) a first-generation Parsivel (OTT) were collocated with weighing rain gauge (OTT Pluvio2) at site Austria. All underestimated...
The sustainable management of crops in areas at risk soil health degradation is crucial, particularly given their vulnerability the current context climate change. Decision Support Tools (DSTs) designed specifically for farmers are essential assessing risks, analyzing impact agricultural practices, and defining strategies to mitigate negative impacts on health. In response this need, TUdi DSTs were developed (in app web format), integrating functionalities tailored address different types...
Rainfall erosivity is a critical parameter for soil degradation assessment. It especially important in areas prone to erosion due frequent or intense rainfall events. typically quantified through the EI30 index, which combines rainfall's kinetic energy (E) with its maximum 30-minute intensity (I30). data high temporal resolution (e.g., 5-minute) are often limited availability, particularly across large spatial scales. Gridded products usually provide half-hourly hourly and frequently used...
One of the main outputs TUdi project is a catalogue strategies and measures for improving soil quality. This document (alone or in combination with other outputs) serves farmers to find suitable methods quality their soil.This aims present restoration fertilization feedback from stakeholders EU China. The consists list practices degradation processes. processes were defined multidisciplinary approach by scientists different fields (soil physics, hydrology, plant environmental sciences,...
Rainfall simulators are indispensable in soil hydrology and erosion research, offering controlled conditions to investigate water erosion. Despite their widespread use, the absence of standardized methodologies leads variability design rainfall characteristics across simulators. To address this challenge, key parameters such as drop size distribution terminal velocity, uniformity spatial raindrops over sprinkled surface area (Christiansen coefficient; CU), kinetic energy (KE), intensity used...
Soil erosion is a major challenge in agriculture, leading to land degradation, reduced fertility, and water pollution. Effective management crucial for controlling runoff, limiting sediment transport, sustaining soil productivity. Among various conservation practices, vegetative buffer strips are particularly effective, enhancing infiltration, slowing trapping sediment.This study assessed the impact of different grass strip lengths on retention under controlled conditions. Experiments were...
The environment of the Czech Republic has long been significantly affected by anthropogenic influences that negatively impact condition landscape ecosystems. One such influence is accelerated soil erosion and excessive sediment loading watercourses, primarily from agricultural landscapes. This process reduces fertility, degrades water quality, increases transfer contaminants into aquatic systems.This study analyzes transport in Elbe basin using monitoring data Labe (Elbe) Vltava (Moldau)...
