Soil Loss Estimation: Measurement and Universal Soil Loss Equation! Soil losses occur from areas subjected to different types of erosion. The soil loss varies with the type of erosion and it is also influenced by all the factors that affect erosion. Along with the soil losses, loss of plant nutrients also occurs. Estimation of soil losses under a given set [...]
Everything you need to know about measuring soil loss! 1. Multi-Slot Divisor: The multi-slot divisors are the device used for measuring the runoff and soil loss from runoff plots or small areas. It is an integral component of runoff plot. Its constructional feature consists of several slots of same dimension. The slots are fitted at the end of divisor box. [...]
The following points highlight the three main components of runoff plot. The components are: 1. Collector 2. Divisor 3. Coshocton Wheel Sampler. Boundaries are required for demarcating the area of runoff plot; and also for making a clear-cut jurisdiction for catching the rainfall and collecting rainfall based observations from the given area within plot boundary. The plot boundary can be [...]
