Rill erosion is one of the most important types of soil erosion that has caused the destruction
of many lands in recent decades, and its management has become an essential issue in …

Oriental beech roots improve soil aggregate stability and reduce soil detachment rate in forest lands

SA Kapourchal, M Parhizkar - Rhizosphere, 2023‏ - Elsevier
In many forestlands, such as Saravan Forest Park, the high capacity of soil detachment from
deforestation and subsequent ecological restoration are important issues that need detailed …

Plant roots reduce rill detachment and shallow instability in forest topsoils

M Parhizkar, DA Zema, ME Lucas-Borja - Rhizosphere, 2024‏ - Elsevier
The competition between tree and grass roots for water and nutrients under the canopies of
forest species may reduce the grass cover and thus increase rill erosion and shallow …
