Abstract:Tillage implements can cause a large amount of downhill movement of soil, but it is neglected in the past research on soil erosion. To quantitatively evaluate tillage erosion and its importance to soil erosion on sloping cultivated land, authors study the spatial patterns of tillage erosion and its contribution to total erosion in the loess region of China by conducting a tillage experiment and using 137Cs tracing method. Tillage manner is animal powered contour plowing and tillage depth is about 16...
