Also, the mulching reduced the runoff coefficient from 65.6 to 50.5%. The effect on sediment transport was even more pronounced, as the straw mulch reduced the sediment concentration from 16.7 g l⁻¹ to 3.6 g l⁻¹ and the soil erosion rates from 439 g to 73 g. Our results indicated that mulching can be used as a useful management practice to control soil erosion rates due to the immediate effect on high soil detachment rate and runoff initiation reduction in conventional clementine orchards on sloping land, by slowing down runoff initiation and by reducing runoff generation and, especially, sediment losses. We indirectly concluded that straw mulch is also a sustainable solution in glyphosate-treated citrus plantations.]]> Fri 04 Nov 2022 14:46:01 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34028 Fri 01 Feb 2019 13:10:56 AEDT ]]>
