Volume 72, Issue 1 , June 2019, , Pages 1-14

https://doi.org/10.22059/jrwm.2019.208178.1019

Abstract
  Land cover is also important factor for protecting the soil against erosion. A fully forested watershed experiences relatively little surface erosion, but timber harvest alters the canopy cover, exposing the soil to water and wind. Forests provide the maximum amount of soil protection. Reduction of vegetative ...  Read More
