Soil erosion by water is a three-phase process that consists of detachment of soil particles
from the soil mass, transportation of detached particles either by raindrop impact or surface …

Mulching the soil surface with a layer of plant residue is considered an effective method of
conserving water and soil because it increases water infiltration into the soil, reduces …

The information of aggregate disintegration mechanisms during splash erosion is scant. This
study was conducted to quantify contributions of the mechanisms of aggregate disintegration …

The splash erosion-induced soil aggregate turnover is important to understand the
mechanisms of soil degradation and soil organic carbon (SOC) cycling. However, the …

Raindrop splashing is one of the driving forces of soil erosion, and it also leads to the loss of
soil nutrients. However, the effects of raindrop splashing on nitrogen loss and the …

Soil aggregate breakdown is the initial stage of splash erosion. Preventing aggregate
disintegration can effectively control the material source for sediment transport. The impact …

Soil aggregate breakdown is the first key factor that causes soil erosion. At present, research
on the mechanisms of soil aggregate breakdown during rainfall is common. However, the …

The characteristics of raindrops are among the major factors influencing rainfall erosivity.
However, the effect of wind blowing on the determining factors of raindrops was not …

The effect of antecedent soil moisture content on runoff and soil erosion was investigated in
many previous studies. These studies revealed contradictory findings. The present study …

The sandy croplands in the Free State have been identified as one of the main dust sources
in South Africa. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence and strength of …
