associated with the onset of floods, contamination and erosion events, and other …

Gully erosion: procedures to adopt when modelling soil erosion in landscapes affected by gullying

JWA Poesen, DB Torri… - Handbook of erosion …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Most research dealing with soil erosion by water has focused on sheet (inter-rill) and rill
erosion processes operating at the runoff plot scale. This can be concluded from two …

What is the best technique to estimate topographic thresholds of gully erosion? Insights from a case study on the permanent gullies of Rarh plain, India

A Majhi, J Nyssen, A Verdoodt - Geomorphology, 2021 - Elsevier
The Rarh plain in the Lower Ganga Basin in India, best known for its lateritic landscape and
gullied tracts, faces grave problems brought about by all types of soil erosion, of which gully …

Predicting the susceptibility to gully initiation in data-poor regions

O Dewitte, M Daoudi, C Bosco, M Van Den Eeckhaut - Geomorphology, 2015 - Elsevier
Permanent gullies are common features in many landscapes and quite often they represent
the dominant soil erosion process. Once a gully has initiated, field evidence shows that gully …

Topographic and road control of mega-gullies in Kinshasa (DR Congo)

FM Imwangana, O Dewitte, M Ntombi, J Moeyersons - Geomorphology, 2014 - Elsevier
Abstract Diachronic mapping (1957, 1967, 2007 and 2010) shows an exponentially growing

Annual variation of ephemeral gully erosion in a cultivated catchment

J Tang, G Liu, Y Xie, X Duan, D Wang, S Zhang - Geoderma, 2021 - Elsevier
Ephemeral gullies (EG) are important erosion features that reduce land productivity and
have potential to produce copious amounts of erosion and sediment from fields. Unchecked …
