This study aims at identifying the influence of soil surface roughness from small to large aggregates (random roughness) on runoff and soil loss and to investigate the interaction with soil surface seal formation. Bulk ...

The soil surface roughness is one of the main factors affecting wind erosion. Little is known about the influence of rains on the degradation rate of the soil surface roughness in different tillage systems and soil types. ...

The soil surface roughness increases water retention and infiltration, reduces the runoff volume and speed and influences soil losses by water erosion. Similarly to other parameters, soil roughness is affected by the tillage ...

The soil surface roughness is a main factor in all wind erosion prediction models, including the Revised Wind Erosion Equation (RWEQ). The objective of this study was to test the erodibility of two typical soils of the ...

The spatial sampling interval, as related to the ability to digitize a soil profile with a certain number of features per unit length, depends on the profiling technique itself. From a variety of profiling techniques, ...

Soil roughness (SR) is an ecological indicator that describes the distribution of soil surface accumulations and ponds in a terrain, which allows understanding the connectivity of the flows as they act as sinks and sources ...

Soil surface roughness and the complementary soil microrelief depression pattern determine water infiltration, overland flow and drainage network development. The characteristic soil surface roughness remains poorly defined, ...
