چکیده انگلیسی مقاله |
Soil erosion is a worldwide environmental problem that reduces the productivity of natural and agricultural ecosystems. Inappropriate land use, poor farming practices and removal of natural plants cause soil erosion and reduce productivity. In this study, we addressed the important problem of soil erosion by reviewing the literature (43 studies published in scientific journals) to study methods of evaluating the factors affecting soil erosion and sediment delivery. Among the total (of 43) articles reviewed in this study, 53.33% of the articles used the RUSLE method to evaluate the effect of various factors on soil erosion and sediment and 46.67% of the studies used other methods. In addition, soil and water conservation practices (including mechanical, biological, and biomechanical; 43.14%), land-use change (31.37%), and climate change (9.80%) were the most studied practices in evaluating the effectiveness of factors on soil erosion. |
