Title: SOIL PROPERTIES THAT AFFECT EROSION
Accession Number: 00179015
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: It is well known that some soils erode more easily than others. The erodibility of soils has been related to such physical and chemical soil properties as texture, structure, organic content, pH, and permeability and to such engineering properties as the dispersion and surface-aggregateion rations. This paper reviews the pertinent literature on soil erosion, concludes that the nomogrpah model developed by Wischmeier and others gives the best estimate of soil-erodibility values for most soils, and suggests that the nomograph developed by Roth and others be used to predict erodibility values for appropriate subsoils. /Author/
