The integrated assessment of soil erosion resistance

The use of models for quantitative assessment of permissible erosion level (soil loss tolerance) is considered. A method of score estimation of soil resistance to erosion is suggested that accounts for the water permeability, aggregate-size composition, and the humus status based on the classical gr...

Summary:The use of models for quantitative assessment of permissible erosion level (soil loss tolerance) is considered. A method of score estimation of soil resistance to erosion is suggested that accounts for the water permeability, aggregate-size composition, and the humus status based on the classical grades of these properties. The results of approbation of this method for the loamy chernozems of the Southern Cis-Urals are given.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
