A rapid method of estimating soil erosion using trapped sediment: a case study from a forest road on the Cumberland plateau of Tennessee

Auteur :
ORR, B.

Description :
Describes a simple field method for rapidly estimating the lower limit of soil erosion where sediment is deposited below the erosion site. The method is most useful when the erosion is triggered by a single event, when a similar nearby control is available, and when the concentration zone is clearly defined. - (DWG)
