Abstract:
... Monoculture farming pollutes the environment by increasing the use of inputs, accelerating soil erosion, polluting water resources, raising carbon level in the atmosphere, and decreasing biodiversity. Therefore, farmers are advised to implement diversified farming systems such as crop rotation. However, crop rotation, i.e., planting more than one crop in the same field over a given year, may also ...

Abstract:
... Increases in pore water pressure affect the effective stress state of loess soil, resulting in deformation and even soil erosion. However, it is still unclear how the mechanical behaviours and microstructures of soil are influenced by the rate of increase in pore water pressure (RIPWP). To better understand the mechanical failure process and properties of soil under different RIPWPs, a series of c ...

However, the necessity of further studies for overcoming the existing gap in relation to the role of soil in the water, energy, and food nexus system has been preoccupying the experts and specialists around the world for some time. In this sense, the balance b ...

Clarifying the change in soil detachment rate under different subsurface flow conditions is beneficial to understand the mechanisms of soil erosion and improve process-based erosion model. In this study, the maximum sedime ...
