Experimental assessment of riverbed sediment reinforcement by vegetation roots

Paolo Perona

Vegetation roots are known to increase soil stability on hillslopes, crops and river banks, thus reducing slide hazards, surface erosion and general processes affecting lateral channel migration. Many studies have tackled this classical engineering problem ...

Crc Press-Taylor & Francis Group2014

Sediment transport plays a key role in the morphological and ecological value of river ecosystems. The present study explores the design of sediment management measures for a flood control and revitalization project in an alpine valley of the Swiss Alps. T ...

The herbicide glyphosate and its metabolite AMPA in the Lavaux vineyard area, western Switzerland: Proof of widespread export to surface waters. Part II: The role of infiltration and surface runoff

Luiz Felippe De Alencastro

Two parcels of the Lavaux vineyard area, western Switzerland, were studied to assess to which extent the widely used herbicide, glyphosate, and its metabolite aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) were retained in the soil or exported to surface waters. They w ...

Floodplains have been intensively altered in industrialized countries, but are now increasingly being restored. It is therefore important to assess the effect of these restoration projects on the aquatic and terrestrial components of ecosystems. However, d ...

Within the fluvial network, confluences are particular areas characterized by great ecological value where flow dynamics and bed morphology are much influenced by local patterns. The aim of this article is to describe the influence of the convergence angle ...

Rain splash soil erosion in the presence of rock fragments and different initial conditions was tested in laboratory flume experiments under controlled conditions. The aim of the experiments was to ascertain whether cumulative soil erosion is proportional ...

Laboratory flume experiments to study the influence of initial conditions and rock fragment cover on soil erosion dynamics

David Andrew Barry, Alessandro Brovelli, Seifeddine Jomaa

The influence of the initial soil surface characteristics and rock fragment coverage on precipitation-driven soil erosion was investigated through laboratory experiments on a 6-m × 1-m soil parcel with mild slope. A sequence of four experiments, consisting ...

Soil erosion dynamics through multiple rainfall events

David Andrew Barry, Alessandro Brovelli, Seifeddine Jomaa

The dynamics of soil erosion during repeated rainfall events was studied, in particular focusing on the effect of initial soil characteristics and surface shielding by rock fragments. A sequence of four 2-h erosive events (named H7- E1, E2, and E3, respect ...

Effect of Antecedent Conditions on Soil Erosion Dynamics in a Laboratory Flume

David Andrew Barry, Alessandro Brovelli, Seifeddine Jomaa

The effect of antecedent conditions on precipitation-driven soil erosion dynamics through multiple rainfall events was investigated using a pair of 6-m • 1-m flumes with 2.2% slope. Three experiments denoted H6, H7-E2 and H7-E3, involved the same precipita ...
