“…They found that, in this treatment, soil loss was reduced by 12.5 and 6 times compared to the Ctl plot on the new and old cutslopes, respectively, due to through cover of the surface. Broda et al (2016) introduced the high absorption capacity and CG as the main contributors to the reduction of sediment concentration, and their results are in agreement with the results of the present study. WW provided numerous obstacles against stress force of runoff and suspended sediment.…”

“…In permanent stabilization techniques, ditch stabilization is performed by deployment of hard covers such as concrete and riprap and flexible covers such as seasonal grasslands (Cerdá 2001, Flora and Kröger 2014, Dollinger et al 2017. Broda et al (2016) used woolen, woolencotton and recycled fiber geotextile for the stabilization of forest road ditches with thicknesses of 5.8, 3 and 3 mm, and masses of 406, 512 and 265 g m -2 , respectively. The results showed that water absorption capacity of woolen geotextile was higher than that of woolen-cotton and recycled fibers.…”

The fine-textured soil in forest road ditches is very susceptible to water erosion especially in rainy seasons in Hyrcanian forest. This study examined the yield of ditch segment-scale sediment after releasing two flow rates of 5 l s-1 and 10 l s-1 in segments treated by riprap (RR), grass cover by Festuca arundinacea L. (GC), compacted cotton geotextile (CG) and wooden wattle by local slash (WW). Sediment sampling from the runoff was carried out at the end of each segment every minute. Runoff flow velocity in different treatments was measured using an electromagnetic flow meter. Sediment concentration and runoff velocity in treatments of RR, GC, CG, WW was significantly lower than that of the control plot (Ctl). Increasing flow rate from 5 l s-1 to 10 l s-1 caused no significant change in sediment concentration (except for Ctl and RR) and runoff velocity (except for Ctl and CG), which means that some water might have penetrated into treated soil by RR, GC and WW and this is not acceptable in forest road maintenance practices. Sediment yield from RR (0.36 g l-1) and Ctl (0.50 g l-1) under the flow rate of 10 l s-1 was significantly higher than that of 5 l s-1 with values of 0.21 g l-1 and 0.38 g l-1, respectively. Minimum amount of sediment concentration was observed for CG (0.20 g l-1) with compacted ditch bed. Moreover, runoff velocity in CG and Ctl under the flow rate of 10 l s-1 was significantly higher than that of 5 l s-1. For a forest road with dimension 30×50 cm, slope of 5%, and clay soil with porosity of 57%, treatments of compacted CG can be used in ditch with low flow rates (5 l s-1) and high flow rate (10 l s-1) because of their high efficiency in reducing sediment yield.

“…The innovative geotextile ropes were built from meandrically arranged thick ropes which were connected into segments with additional linking chains. The geotextile ropes were successfully used for the stabilization of the slopes in disused lignite mine, as well as for the protection of the drainage slope, terrace slope and road side ditches [4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

Paper deals with application of geotextile ropes in erosion protection of slope of gravel pit in Nieboczowy, Poland. For protection of the slope the segments formed from thick ropes were applied. The ropes with the diameter of 120 mm were produced by the Kemafil technology. Ropes were made from strips of stitch-bonded nonwoven produced from a mixture of recycled natural and synthetic fibres and strips of wool needle-punched nonwoven. The protected slope had the length of 4 to 6 m, slope inclination from 1:1 to 1:1.8 and total area of approximately 150 m2. It will be shown that installed ropes restrain soil so there is no slope failure in protected section even in case of low soil shear strength parameters and unfavourable hydraulic conditions. Generally slope surface in protected section is without rills and gullies. This case also shows that plants are very good anti-erosion measure. Thanks ropes installed on the slope, favourable conditions for plants growth are created and maintained.

“…Various techniques are applied to protect a slope from erosion. One of them is application of geotextile ropes, placed meandrically on the slope [1][2][3][4][5]. To evaluate effectiveness of this technique, it is necessary to determine soil lost rate by erosion for parts of slope with and without ropes application.…”

Paper deals with influence of soil specimen preparation on values of its organic matter content, determined by laboratory tests. Totally 54 specimens of soils CG, CL, CI and CH from Lipnik, Międzyrzecze and Nieboczowy, Poland were tested. To obtain values of soils organic matter content, the oxidation method introduced in the Polish Standard PN-88/B-04481 was applied. The tests were carried out for particles smaller than 2 mm. For every sample, 3 specimens (every with a mass about 10 g of dry soil) were prepared by such a way that the first one is taken from whole sample after drying about 200 g of wet soil. The second and third one were taken from 50 g of remaining sample mass after taking the first one. As an oxidizing agent, the 30% hydrogen peroxide solution was used. The results show that values of organic matter content of soils range from 0.03% to 2.74%. The largest difference in values of organic matter content, caused by specimen preparation, was 0.38% (absolute difference), corresponding to relative difference 15.86%. The smallest difference was null. Mentioned difference causes negligible difference in soil erodibility factor K hence negligible difference in soil erosion rate in mentioned locations.
