Soil erosion by mass wasting is the major problem on forest
lands of the Pacific Northwest, The clay fractions of soils from a
large number of sites in Oregon's Western Cascades were characterized
in order to determine the relationships of various clay materials to
mass movements. Each site was either...
Surface and subsurface hydrological parameters affecting overland flow from cultivated land were studied in three small sub-watersheds located in the western foothills of the Willamette Valley. The sub-watersheds, which ranged in size from 0.46 to 6.0-ha, were fall-planted to grass or small grain. The parameters studied were infiltration, rainfall, runoff...
The purpose of this study was to use computer analysis of soil and rainfall data to predict the possible occurrence of soil erosion in Central Tunisia. Analysis was done with the program OR-NATURE (M.Ungs et al, 1985) . Central Tunisia was subdivided into northern, central, and southern subzones. Data about...
The purpose of this research was to determine if
overland flow and sediment production were different in
logged (on snow, frozen soil, and prescribed skid trails)
and nonlogged sites in a Pinus ponderosa Laws.!
Symohoricaroos albus Laws. community in the foothills of
the Wallowa Mountains in northeastern Oregon. To determine...
Modern agricultural erosion was studied using ¹³⁷Cs from
fallout as an indicator of erosion/deposition. The study area was a
285 ha agricultural watershed in the hilly western margin of the
Willamette Valley, a high winter rainfall zone in which fall-planted
crops are commonly grown.
Objectives of the study were (i)...
