Sentence examples for threshold of erosion from inspiring English sources

These buffer limits would be set at a value consistent with the 'natural threshold of erosion'.

After the treatment, erodibility and threshold of SWC significantly decreased in most of the soils while their threshold of erosivity increased; and this implies that the treated soils had better resistance to erosion than disturbed soils.

In many terrestrial channels the gravel bed is only transported during rare floods (threshold channels), and rates of erosion are very slow.

Masa soil had the lowest threshold of SWC and erosivity to initiate erosion followed by Sand soil, Oxisols and Andosols.

Aspects of both the regional climate and land use histories are conducive to increasing discharge and sediment flux, but the region wide lowering of erosion thresholds appears a key driver conditioning these sediment-rich conditions and producing a landscape that was more susceptible to erosion under lower magnitude flows.

The initial profile of erosion thresholds (10, 20, 50 and 75% reduction in water column transmission) after 12 h of incubation was significantly lower than the subsequent measurements (P<0.05, Nemenyi test, [15]. There was no further significant increase in stability with time.

The cohesive strength meter (CSM) erosion device was developed to determine in situ the temporal and spatial variations in the erosion threshold of muddy intertidal sediments.

In addition, the predicted erosion threshold of sand-sized particles corresponds to within 3%18%% of measured values made using the device.

In erosion studies, 15 mg kg−1 of alcohol (IMS) extracted EPS polymer (in 5 g kg−1 IMS precipitate, equivalent to approximately 5 g salt kg−1 sediment dry weight) decreased the erosion threshold of cohesive sediments whereas 30 mg kg−1 (in 10 g kg−1 IMS precipitate, approximately 10 g salt kg−1 sediment dry weight) had no effect compared to controls.

A purpose-designed verification method was applied to determine whether the thresholds corresponded to the effective control of erosion.

These data were related to evidence of meso-scale erosion to examine how geological contingency influences the nature and scale of erosion processes and thresholds.
