abstract:
Results of erosion assessment based on analysis of soil transects carried at various spacing in a small loess catchment are presented. Average value of soil erosion calculated at various transect spacing was lower by 3.5% in comparison to the value calculated from spatial analysis (14.66 thousand of m3). Relatively good agreement was found up to transect spacing of 50 m. At transect spacing of 60 m, some of the transect combinations corresponded to relief interval of the same value and this was reflected in large variation of results. Studies showed that both transect spacing and transect localization affected erosion values. Transect spacing cannot correspond to distance between similar elements of relief.
