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. This new book explores the erosion concerns and solutions for dealing with them. It addresses the impact and effects of changing land use and land cover on soil erosion and methods of assessing erosion, as well as ways to control different types of erosion. The use of models such as the WEPP model for estimating runoff and sediment yield, along with models 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.
