Mapping assessment of gully erosion in the east of the Russian plain
Detailed-scale mapping of gully network based on the river basin approach was carried out for the eastern part of the Russian Plain using remote sensing data. The total number of selected catchments was 4575, average catchment area - 37.5 km 2 . GIS map of regions with different degree of gully diss...
