## Abstract Crop residues in conservation tillage systems are known to cause both a reduction in the erosive runoff power and an increase in the topsoil erosion resistance. In this study, the relative importance of both mechanisms in reducing soil loss by concentrated flow erosion is examined. Ther
## Abstract Model predictions concerning the endangerment of on‐site and off‐site damages due to runoff, soil erosion and sedimentation under alternative design and operation policies are of particular importance in recent catchment planning and management. By using the raster‐based model approach,
Wild®res raise concerns over the risk of accelerated erosion as a result of increased overland ¯ow and decreased protection of the soil by litter and ground vegetation cover. We investigated these issues following the 1994 ®res that burnt large areas of native Eucalyptus forest surrounding Sydney, A
Field runo plots were established in 1984 to evaluate the eects of slope length on runo, soil erosion and crop yields on newly cleared land for four consecutive years (1984±1987) on an Al®sol at Ibadan, Nigeria. The experimental treatments involved six slope lengths (60 m to 10 m at 10-m increments)
