Addresses the impact and effects of changing land use and land cover on soil erosion and various methods of assessing erosion as well as ways to control different types of erosion. Use of models such as WEPP model and more are detailed. The book also discusses artificial neural networks, remote sensing data, etc.
Erosion control is a priority in the agriculture, construction, and conservation industries as well as in land development applications. The everyday processes involved in these industries can often result in erosion and have a significant adverse impact on the surrounding ecology. These harmful impacts can be minimized by erosion control. The new book, Erosion Measurement, Modeling, and Management: Challenges and Solutions, emphasizes the various erosion concerns and solutions for dealing with them.The book addresses the impact and effects of changing land use and land cover on soil erosion and various methods of assessing erosion as well as ways to control different types of erosion. The use of models such as WEPP model for estimating runoff and sediment yield, along with three models of erosion (USLE, MUSLE and RUSLE and SWAT) to estimate runoff production patterns and soil erosion hazards are detailed. The book also discusses artificial neural networks and machine learning techniques (random forest), remote sensing data and GIS for mapping soil erosion. Finally, the challenges and limitations for the soil erosion models are also presented.A comprehensive work on soil erosion, this book brings the latest on soil erosion conservation and mapping techniques. It will prove a valuable resource for academics, researchers, students, decision makers, and professionals who will profit from the information included in it.
