CIFOR-ICRAF s’attaque aux défis et aux opportunités locales tout en apportant des solutions aux problèmes mondiaux concernant les forêts, les paysages, les populations et la planète.

Nous fournissons des preuves et des solutions concrètes pour transformer l’utilisation des terres et la production alimentaire : conserver et restaurer les écosystèmes, répondre aux crises mondiales du climat, de la malnutrition, de la biodiversité et de la désertification. En bref, nous améliorons la vie des populations.

CIFOR-ICRAF publie chaque année plus de 750 publications sur l’agroforesterie, les forêts et le changement climatique, la restauration des paysages, les droits, la politique forestière et bien d’autres sujets encore, et ce dans plusieurs langues. .

CIFOR–ICRAF publishes over 750 publications every year on agroforestry, forests and climate change, landscape restoration, rights, forest policy and much more – in multiple languages.

CIFOR–ICRAF addresses local challenges and opportunities while providing solutions to global problems for forests, landscapes, people and the planet.

We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

Development and validation of methods for measurement of sediment transfer across fields in a watershed (Phase 1 of Watershed Function Analysis)

Exporter la citation

The need to quantify and evaluate the impact of various land use changes on the hydrology and soil erosion in a landscape is of prime importance in watershed resource management. With appropriate methodology, the on- site effect of soil erosion on soil productivity and the off-site effect on water quality and quantity are better understood and mitigated. This study was aimed to develop and validate descriptive method, using GIS–assisted soil erosion modelling, that will be able to capture and measure the effects of the major factors that contribute to runoff, erosion and sedimentation at a watershed scale. The approach is sensitive in identifying the areas in a catchment that are erosion proned or “hot spots” so that mitigation works could be successfully targeted. In addition, the stream flow and sediment load are also measured and/or predicted for assessing the off- site effects of soil erosion.
