2. Erodibility - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erodibility

   Soil erodibility is a lumped parameter that represents an integrated annual value of the soil profile reaction to the process of soil detachment and transport by raindrops and surface flow. [1] The most commonly used model for predicting soil loss from water erosion is the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) (also known as the K-factor ...

3. Universal Soil Loss Equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Soil_Loss_Equation

   A simpler method to predict K was presented by Wischmeier et al. [7] which includes the particle size of the soil, organic matter content, soil structure and profile permeability. The soil erodibility factor K can be approximated from a nomograph if this information is known. The LS factors can easily be determined from a slope effect chart by ...

4. Erosion index - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erosion_index

   The erosion index (EI, also called the erodibility index) is created by dividing potential erosion (from all sources except gully erosion) by the T value, which is the rate of soil erosion above which long term productivity may be adversely affected.

5. Hole erosion test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hole_erosion_test

   The hole erosion test (HET) is a method used in geotechnical engineering to quantify the resistance of a soil to erosion, and is specifically relevant to the topic of internal erosion in embankment dams.

6. Jet erosion test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_erosion_test

   The test can be applied in-situ after preparing a field site, or it can be applied in a laboratory on either an intact or a remolded soil sample. A quantitative measure of erodibility allows for the prediction of erosion, assisting with the design of structures such as vegetated channels, road embankments, dams, levees, and spillways. [1]

   Kimberly Cooley-Reyes, 66, falls into that category. An avid gardener, Cooley-Rees found human composting after her best friend passed away several years ago and had a green burial.

9. Wind erosion equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_erosion_equation

   This equation incorporates several key variables: the Soil Erodibility Index (I), which measures the susceptibility of soil to erosion; the Soil Ridge Roughness Factor (K), reflecting the surface roughness and its impact on wind flow; the Climatic Factor (C), representing the influence of wind speed and frequency on erosion; the Unsheltered ...
