Many transport processes on or across the soil surface boundary are controlled by surface
microtopography, or roughness. How roughness affects the transport process depends on the …

Soil surface roughness affects overland flow and soil erosion processes, yet studies on
roughness effects are hampered by the difficulty of acquiring microtopographic data. The …

Most of prior research showed increasing soil roughness delayed runoff and reduced total
runoff and sediment yields but failed to differentiate roughness effects on water runoff and on …

Fractal dimension analyses of PSD and soil porosity were determined for the 0–20cm soil
layer representing different plant communities and land management in the Yimeng …

CONSERVATION tillage practices are becoming established in North American agriculture.
Most procedures include the use of old crop residues on the soil surface to protect soil from …

During rainfall events, runoff water carries sediment downslope. It has been hypothesized
that the detachment potential of the runoff water would decrease as the sediment content is …

Sediment transport capacity, T c , defined as the maximum amount of sediment that a flow can
carry, is the basic concept in determining detachment and deposition processes in current …

Seepage on a hillslope produces an area susceptible to surface erosion, especially near the
bottom of the slope. A laboratory study was conducted to quantify the effects of seepage on …

The rill erosion equation in the current Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model is
based on the coupled detachment and transport processes concept proposed by Foster and …

Conservation practices are implemented on farm fields in the USA through Farm Bill
programs; however, there is a need for greater verification that these practices provide …
