The current study investigates the future effect of four management practices on reducing sediment yield in the Fincha sub-watershed, Ethiopia, by developing a soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) model over the next three decades (2019–2050). Four best management practices (BMPs) largely applied in the region were considered here. It was found that filter strips can decrease the sediment yield by 65.64 and 58.77, soil or stone bund by 76.37 and 73.07, contour farming by 79.79 and 75.86, and terracing by 84.9% and 76.32% for the years 2019 and 2050, respectively. The impact of these BMPs on various hydrological processes also was evaluated using SWAT. It was found that BMPs are effective in reducing surface runoff and water yield and in increasing groundwater and lateral flows, while they have a reduced effect on evapotranspiration, lateral flow and water yield. The findings presented here point out that all the simulated management practices significantly lower surface runoff and consequently sediment yield across the watershed, but they are not effective enough to reduce soil erosion below a critical threshold that assures crop production. Therefore, to achieve tolerable soil loss, additional soil and land management strategies, such as biological measures and a combination of BMPs are needed and should be considered in future investigations. In summary, the current study offers evidence for managing river basins in semi-arid regions, and can help in ensuring sustainable management of natural resources.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50290,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sediment Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1001627924000532/pdfft?md5=957a706a95ece3a99a6c30254a5ee74d&pid=1-s2.0-S1001627924000532-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141148753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gradual desiccation of Lake Urmia (LU) in northwestern Iran, as one example of desiccating lakes, has led to the exposure of the lakebed sediment with enormous dust emission potential in some parts. Sand sheets of western LU are identified as one of the major contributors to aerosols in this region. Yet, dust blown from this area is not well characterized. The aims of the current study were, therefore, to comprehensively investigate the origin of dust from sand sheets; the characteristics of dust and temporal variability of the aerosol and to test the effectiveness of the application of sodium alginate (SA) on soil crusting and stabilization. Soil samples were collected from the two prevailing soil types from sand sheets in August 2020. Dust samples were also collected during four time periods: July and August (the beginning of the dry season); October and November (the beginning of the wet season). Using SA with varying concentrations and different methods of application, the effectiveness of the induced crusts was investigated. Authigenic aragonite minerals with elongated needle shapes were found to be the major constituent of the soil and dust samples. Temporal variability of the dust characteristics and their elemental correlation to dust sources revealed that while dust source 1 (DS<sub>1</sub>) with higher clay, salt, and silt contents contribute more to the dust composition from July to August (<em>R</em><sup>2</sup> > 0.75 for DS<sub>1</sub> versus <em>R</em><sup>2</sup> > 0.58 for DS<sub>2</sub>), dust source 2 (DS<sub>2</sub>) with less salinity and higher sand content becomes the major contributor to dust composition from October to November (<em>R</em><sup>2</sup> > 0.91 for DS<sub>2</sub> versus <em>R</em><sup>2</sup> > 0.75 for DS<sub>1</sub>). Results of stabilizing both DS<sub>1</sub> and DS<sub>2</sub> showed that SA-induced crusts on DS<sub>1</sub> are more stable than DS<sub>2</sub> due to the presence of higher clay, silt, salt, organic matter, and lower aragonite minerals. SA-induced crusts by a compaction method significantly performed better than a spray of SA on either dry (DSp) or soil at its optimum water content (WSp) at all concentrations. Nevertheless, spray methods are more feasible at the field scale and in both DSp and WSp methods, SA<sub>0.5</sub> improved the crust thickness. Scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) along with thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) confirmed the remaining SA on the soil surface three months after its application indicating the effective performance of the SA solution in sand sheets stabilization. Hence, its application at the field scale could possibly reduce aerosol release and transport to surrounding areas.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50290,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sediment Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1001627924000386/pdfft?md5=5e37c19304de4ff11ae48bf8dd7bfa5d&pid=1-s2.0-S1001627924000386-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140842420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, the impact of SPOM on water quality significantly exceeded that of SOM. The source characteristics of SPOM were correlated with eutrophication and salinity indicators in the water, which have important implications for water quality.
