The purpose is to analyze the economic development and management mechanism of rural enterprises, and explore the role of ecological environment protection mechanism in the economic development of rural enterprises. First, the related theories are analyzed and expounded; then, the participants of...

In here we present a modified version of the RUSLE model, which can perform better than the original version at mountainous, Mediterranean catchments. A weighing coefficient is assigned at each factor in the model resulting into a reduction in the model residuals (difference between modeled and...

The study aims to evaluate soil erosion and investigate its spatial distribution by applying two empirical models, namely the Erosion Potential Model (EPM), also known as Gavrilovic method, and the RUSLE model at Venetikos River catchment, the largest and most important tributary of Aliakmonas River...

The technology transfer for rural livelihood development had greater impact to protect microclimatic conditions which further affects the microflora and microbial activities to larger extent in the Indian Himalayan Region (IHR). The technological interventions were made by the Himalayan Research...

Physicochemical parameters and nutrient loads of major rivers and streams in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State were studied for a period of seven (7) months from May to November, 2011. Regular and constant monitoring of water bodies is vital to ensure that water quality characteristics are maintained. The...

In Tunisian semi-arid regions, where water is a rare commodity and the large dams cannot be justified considering the very limited water contributions and the very high evapotranspiration, innovative techniques of harvesting water have been adopted. Tunisia has initiated a policy of small dam...

In order to study the erodibility characteristics of some calcareous soils from Central Greece, the instability of aggregates of 2.0-4.7 mm in water was studied. Soil loss experiments were also conducted in the laboratory using a rain simulator where soil loss was measured and the soils’ attitude...

The understanding of marine eutrophication in semi enclosed areas due to agricultural runoff, assumes a more integrated approach taking into account the agricultural watershed, seasonal patterns of soil nutrients, rates of erosion and vegetation types. In the present case study in the Gulf of Geras...
