- The importance and challenge of modeling irrigation-induced erosion.
- Irrigation-induced erosion and rain-induced erosion result from very different systematics. Therefore, both cannot be predicted effectively using the same models. The average two-fold yield and three-fold economic advantage of irrigation over rain-fed agriculture, coupled with the fragility of irrigated land and the strategic importance of irrigation development to meet world...

- Daily estimates of rainfall, water runoff, and soil erosion in Iowa.
- The major water quality impairment in the Midwest United States is sediment eroded from agricultural lands. Yet, few understand where or when erosion occurs, or the dynamics of soil erosion, the relative impact of precipitation, topography, land management and severe events over time and space. The objectives of this project...

- Effect of cover crops established at time of corn planting on phosphorus runoff from soils before and after dairy manure application.(case study)
- Phosphorus P runoff from agricultural soils is a concern due to eutrophication. The simultaneous corn and cover crop system was developed by U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS) for dairy farms in the northeastern United States, where short growing seasons have limited fall seeding of cover crops....

- From microlevel decisions to landscape changes: an assessment of agricultural conservation policies
- Agriculture nationwide, and particularly in the Midwest, is increasingly under pressure to adopt environmentally benign land-use practices. A wide range of environmental improvements have been targeted in the Midwest, including reduced soil erosion, reduced nutrient runoff from crop and livestock facilities, habitat restoration for endangered species, increased biodiversity preservation efforts,...

- Using empirical erosion models and GIS to determine erosion risk at Camp Williams, Utah.(Abstract)
- Soil erosion was assessed at Camp Williams Army National Guard Training Facility by creating an erosion risk classification map. The map was created by applying empirical erosion models including the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation RUSLE with GIS and then grouping the quantitative erosion estimates into erosion risk classes. The...

- Forest road sideslopes and soil conservation techniques.
- ABSTRACT Forest road sideslopes have been identified as one of the major sources of erosion losses from managed forest systems. Stabilization by vegetation has shown the greatest potential for mitigation of soil erosion on forest road sideslopes. Sediment and runoff production from a wood excelsior erosion...

- Institutional reforms for getting an agricultural knowledge system to play its role in economic growth
- While alarmists shriek the crisis of accelerating soil erosion and declining water quality as the major impediment to the future of global agriculture in supplying the needs of humanity, the argument here is that, although resource degradation is indeed a threat to achievement of satisfactory crop yields over the next...

- Rural poverty and land degradation: a review of the current state of knowledge
- Understanding of the intricate processes of poverty and land degradation is still extremely limited. Definition, in each process, is driven largely by the perceptions of those analysing the phenomena. Each group brings its own strong perceptions to bear. The lack of clear conceptualisation, the observed heterogeneity and the diverse perceptions...

- Impact of conservation practices on airborne dust in the southern High Plains of Texas.
- Four land conservation practices and land retirement programs covering the state of Texas are discussed. An effective conservation policy is especially needed for the southern plains of the state because of the incidence of airborne dust and consequent wind erosion which reduces soil productivity. The conservation methods used are reduced...
