2 Survey Details
2.1 Dates of erosion monitoring survey: 1982-1995
2.1 Water/wind erosion? Water
2.3 Area monitored: Kaluga region, Protva river basic eight catchments with different area 3-15 ha
2.4 Character of area: Rolling landscape, dernovo-podzo soils, arable and grazing land, temperate continental climate each snow-melting period
2.5 Frequency of monitoring: -
2.6 What fraction of fields in the monitored area were included in the survey? Only fields that eroded
2.7 How were estimates of erosion made? Measurement of water discharge a collection of water samples for determination of erosion volume
2.8 Were air photographs used? Seldom
2.9 For each erosion site, information recorded: Site 1: S= 3.2 ha, gradient of slope 1-6 degree, length of slope 200-300 m; Site 2: S= 4,2 ham gradient of slope 2-7 degree, length of slope 50-230 m; Site 3: S= 2,2 ha, gradient of slope 1-3 degree, length of slope 190. Site 4: S= 12 ha, gradient of slope 2-4 degree, length of slope 50-250. Site 5, S= 1.25 ha, gradient of slope 2.5-3 degree, length of slope 10-150 m. Site 6: S= 0.5 ha, gradient of slope 2-3 degree, length of slope 160. Site 7: S= 4.3 ha, gradient of slope 1.5-2.5 ha, length of slope 40-4. Site 8: S= 3.4 ha, gradient 1.5-2.3 degrees Site 9, S= 11 ha, gradient of slope 2-5 degree, length of slope 50-2 m
 

 

2.10 Data obtained from elsewhere: Detail soil survey of each catchment, detail topographic survey of each catchment, some soil parameters and some other information
2.11 Data calculated from above information: Erosion rate for snow-melting period (t/ha) for each 60 minute for light part of day and 3-4 hours for night
2.12 Meterological station density and type: Our own observation for meteorological parameters (distribution of snow, temperate wind and so on) during period before snow-melting till the end of snow-melting. State meteorological state
2.13 Length of record of meterological data: From 1982
