Although numerous books have been published on soil erosion both in English and in Chinese, none has concentrated on experimental studies on the Loess Plateau of China, in an attempt to establish a new sub-discipline: experimental erosion. One main objective of this book is to highlight monitoring and modeling methods for soil scientists who design and conduct experimental studies on soil loss. Another objective, and the most important one, is to make the results of these experiments more generally available. Accordingly, we have gathered and integrated a broad range of experimental results, both published and unpublished. In-depth discussions of the experimental data and new data processing methods are also included. The work covered here represents exemplary studies in the field of soil erosion and conservation, while the new methods and findings presented will provide practical guidance for controlling soil erosion. Hence the book offers a valuable resource for graduate students, soil erosion scientists and engineers, and soil and water conservationists. 606 $aSoil science 606 $aSoil conservation 606 $aHydrology 606 $aSoil Science & Conservation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U28000 606 $aHydrology/Water Resources$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/211000 615 0$aSoil science. 615 0$aSoil conservation. 615 0$aHydrology. 615 14$aSoil Science & Conservation. 615 24$aHydrology/Water Resources. 676 $a631.45072 700 $aXu$b Xiangzhou$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0928812 702 $aZhu$b Tongxin$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aZhang$b Hongwu$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aGao$b Lu$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910401936403321 996 $aExperimental Erosion$92087433 997 $aUNINA
