Description :
The soil erosion bridge is a simple, robust, cheap, lightweight device comprising a bar which, when mounted on two stakes, provides a stable datum for micro-profiling the soil surface beneath. Its main advantage over similar devices is the unique combination of mounting clamps, which allow for variation in the distance and angle with respect to the vertical of the mounting stakes without loss of accuracy. The design, installation and measurement procedures are described. Applications and limitations are discussed.
