- Summary:
- Soil erosion monitoring and assessment are important tools in determining impacts from land management practices. Various methods have been used by the Bureau of Land Management to monitor soil erosion. This technical note is intended to aid resource specialists in evaluating techniques for monitoring and assessing upland soil surface erosion, other than gully erosion. A brief discussion of erosion processes is incorporated in this document. Highlighted monitoring techniques include visual indicators of erosion, watershed cover, remote sensing cover, silt fence catchments, erosion bridge, erosion plots, close-range photogrammetry, and cesium-137. An overview, brief discussion on procedure, advantages and disadvantages, and data analysis considerations are summarized for each monitoring technique. Listed references provide more detailed information about each technique and instructions on implementing erosion monitoring techniques.
