Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Soil Loss Using GIS and RUSLE Model in Bakiya River Basin (BRB), Central NepalSujan Bista, Naresh Kazi Tamrakar, Kishor Rimal, Arju BhattaraiSoil erosion is the major geological hazard in the fragile landscape of Sub-Himalaya. This study examines the susceptibility of the Bakiya River Basin (BRB) in Central Nepal to soil erosion because of its steep topography, fragile geology, the impact of intense monsoon rainfall, and the lack of a direct monitoring mechanism available for rainfall-runoff. This study examines the spatial variations … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 20 Oct 2025 · 3,384 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVirtual Teak Tree Computational Model for Envisaging the Contribution by Using Functional-Structural Plant ModellingBryan Aleron, Indra Gunawan, Ditdit Nugeraha UtamaThe teak tree (Tectona grandis) has several positive contributions to the environment quality wood raw materials, deep and strong roots to help maintain soil stability and prevent erosion and habitat for various types of animals. On the other hand, teak also has an important role in producing oxygen and rarely do people directly see the growth of teak trees from … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 20, Issue 8 · 19 Jun 2024 · 5,157 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Dust Event By RS, GIS, MODIS and Statistical Methods Among Satellite ImagesKaveh Ostad-Ali-Askari, Naimeh Rahimi, Parisa Ashrafi et al.Dust is an event that occurs in most sections of the world that leads to financial loss and harmful environmental impacts. Several factors are included in dust event incidence, some of them are natural and others are due to human processes and their impact on the environment. Thus, very critical situations are coming and it is expected that the majority … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2021 · 6,698 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFormation of Post-Fire Water Repellent Layers on Nothofagus glauca (Hualo) Forests, After the Historical “Las Máquinas” Wildfire in South-Central ChilePablo A. Garcia-Chevesich, Eduardo Martínez, Alejandro García et al.The Chilean summer of 2017 was the worst wildfire season by far. Hundreds of wildfires burned a total of more than half a million hectares of forested land (native forests and forest plantations). A significant portion of the burned area was occupied by Hualo (Nothofagus glauca (Phil.) Krasser), a native forest species widely distributed in central Chile. Using the water-drop-penetration-time … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 15 Jan 2019 · 9,388 accessesView PDF Cite

InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractDeveloping a System of Organic Farming Technologies to Obtain Environmentally Clean Agricultural Products (Organic Food) in the Steppe Zone of the Kostanai RegionAlmabek Batyrzhanovich Nugmanov, Yuriy Valerievich Tulayev, Saniya Abiltaevna Tulkubayeva, Svetlana Vladimirovna SomovaThe goal of the research is to study the opportunity to produce environmentally clean agricultural products (organic food) under the conditions of the Kostanai Region.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Erosion Hotspot Area using GIS and MCE Technique for Koga Watershed in the Upper Blue Nile Basin, EthiopiaTewodros T. Assefa, Manoj K. Jha, Seifu A Tilahun et al.Soil erosion is a serious threat in Ethiopian highlands. Continuous land degradation resulted in loss of fertile top soil leading to low agricultural productivity. In addition, excessive soil erosion from Koga Watershed in upper catchment to an artificial reservoir (Koga Dam reservoir) is substantially reducing its service life. Community participatory based effective watershed management strategies may have tremendous potential to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 10 Sep 2015 · 9,147 accessesView PDF Cite
