Sentence examples for maximum soil loss from inspiring English sources

The total mean maximum soil loss at this site of about 10.0 t ha−1 year−1 corresponds to a loss of about 0.65 mm.

The relative elevation differences corresponded to a maximum soil loss of 1891 Mg ha−1, which corresponds to an average annual soil loss of 67.5 Mg ha−1 yr−1.

During the rainstorm, runoff and soil loss rates exhibited unimodal distributions, and they were related by a positive linear function, both before and after the maximum soil loss rate, that had a high determination coefficient (R2 > 0.8, p < 0.05) on loess slopes with sand layer thicknesses greater than 5 cm.

Preliminary simulations over a 29-year period for the Barnham site (UK) (1970 1998) and a 13-year period for the Grönheim site (Germany) (1981 1993) generally resulted in a higher erosion risk for the English test site, where the total mean soil loss was estimated at 1.56 t ha−1 yeand1 and mean maximum soil loss at about 15.5 t ha−1 year−1.

The maximum runoff and soil loss rates tended to occur simultaneously and increased abruptly with increasing sand layer thickness.

The observed erosion rates are well below maximum tolerable annual soil loss rates for the Mediterranean region, as 90% of the catchments have mean annual erosion rates below 2 t ha− 1 y− 1.

This quantity is defined as the maximum annual rate of soil loss by erosion that will permit high soil productivity for an indefinite period of time.

Examples are Cook's method for estimating runoff discussed in the section Maximum runoff rates, and the Universal Soil Loss Equation for estimating soil loss, discussed in the section Expirical models for estimating soil loss.

Soil Conservation Service (1956) included interception and depression storage losses as a fraction of maximum soil moisture retention capacity in the SCS-CN model (Mishra and Singh 2010c).

Simulated and observed soil erosion in the total catchment area is determined absolutely by soil losses on cropland, mainly covered with corn (average soil loss on cropland: 8.2 t ha−1 year−1, maximum value: 84.8 t ha−1 year−1).

The berm spacings in the field are compared with those obtained from empirical equations currently used by pipeline engineers, the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and analytical methods based on the maximum non-eroding velocity of runoff and a maximum acceptable wash-out depth.
