Abstract
Description
Erosion has been a heavily studied phenomenon since 1926 in the United States with an emphasis on soil losses from cultivated lands. This led to the adoption of cultural practices to reduce sediment production and to maintain agricultural productivity at a high rate. Determinations were made of the particle-size distribution of the soil surface prior to runoff and of the eroded material under conditions of tillage and no tillage. Evaluations were made of changes in particle-size distribution in runoff samples collected during the course of a storm.
