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)...
Soil erosion is a major source of pollution in the
United States. Erosion can cause both on-site and off-site
damages. It has been argued that off-site damages are a
significant component of soil conservation benefits and are
currently not well known.
Off-site effects of soil erosion are uncompensated
externalities. Given...
Permeability, effects of age, and water table fluctuations were
studied for nine drainfields in five soil types ranging from well to
poorly drained. Three sites were in Willamette, one in Woodburn,
two in Amity, two in Concord, and one in Dayton soils. Before
permeability of drainfields could be evaluated, methods...
A Willamette sandy shot loam was treated with ZnC1₂, CdC1₂, or sewage sludge to determine the chemical fate of added Cd and Zn in the soil and their influence on the growth of corn and wheat seedlings. Cadmium was added as CdC1₂ at rates of 0, 5, 20, or 80...
