Spatial and temporal structure of surf ace runoff and resulting erosion and sedimentation within hydrological systems of the central forest-steppe

Abstract

Experiments have been carried out to study mechanisms of formation and transformation of the surface runoff and soil erosion during spring Hood within landscapes of adjoining urban and rural areas. The hydrological systems functioning within typical urban and agricultural complexes appeared to be inhomogeneous in the years with cyclonic and anticyclonic regimes of the spring flood.
