AEOLIC EROSION. EXPERIMENTAL ASSESSMENT
Abstract
Aeolic erosion of soils can be rated from different points of view. All of them are coincidental in their goals but diversified and complementary in their proceedings and forms. Experimental assessment quantifies the erosive processes by the analysis and measurement of certain physical and chemical characteristics of soils. Zeroing in on the former, the analysis of surface formations' texture and interconnection among its components will give us some features which will allow an assessment of soil erodibility. In order to obtain some erodibility estimation indexes, clay and slime contents have been fundamentally studied; together with the gravel content, it'll give us the assessm'ents we searched for. Even though gravel gives only orientative results.Downloads
