DESCRIPTION OF EROSION FACTORS STUDIED |
|
|
7.1
Climate: |
Hourly
measurement of meteorological data (temperature, rainfall, relative
humidity, wind velocity and direction). Rainfall intensity will
be measured every 5 minutes. |
|
7.2
Topography: |
1
x 10 m plots have the same slope angle (9ş) and aspect (W). |
|
7.3
Soils: |
Measurement
of soil loss from plots (gm). The plots represent 5 different
soil types, each with a control plot (5 x 2 plots). |
|
7.4
Vegetation: |
All
plots are unvegetated on purpose. |
|
7.5
Management: |
No
management except for keeping the plots unvegetated. |

FIELD EXPERIMENTS Description of the field site and
of the type of experiments and equipment involved for each of
the erosion processes being studied: |
|
8.1
Erosion process: |
Monitoring
of runoff and sediment on each plot, runoff is measured every
5 minutes automatically. |
|
8.2
Location (town, state, country): |
Csákvár,
Hungary |
|
8.3
Equipment involved: |
(1)
Rainfall simulator of Trier University (Germany), used to determine
soil erodibility
of the different soil types.
(2) Wether station. Measurements automatically registered
and stored in a PC.
(3)
Runoff volume measured and automatically registered every
5 minutes in a PC.
(4) Sediment filtered manually after each event.

LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS Description of the laboratory
and the type of experiments and equipment involved for each
of the erosion processes studied: |
|
Only
sediment amount will be determined. Soil texture was defined
only during rainfall simulation experiment. |
|
|

REMARKS |
|
|
The
5 x 2 plots represent the 4 most important soil types of Lake
Balaton catchment and the in situ soil. The upper 25-30 cm of
the 4 soil profiles were removed, then transported and built
in at Csákvár. |
