Field and laboratory testing can be done in order to achieve erodibility potential indicator parameters. Geotechnical characterization testing (soil size analysis, liquid limit, plasticity limit, shear strength, permeability) and other more specific tests (e.g., slaking, crumb, Inderbitzen) could provide information on the hydraulic and mechanical behavior of the soil and, in turn, be directly related to the erodibility potential, making it easier to understand the erosion processes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
