USE OF TRACER TECHNIQUE IN SOIL EROSION RESEARCH

TECHNIQUES USED TO STUDY EROSION BY TAGGING SOIL WITH RADIOACTIVE TRACERS ARE REVIEWED. GUIDELINES TO BE FOLLOWED IN THE SELECTION OF A TRACER ARE DISCUSSED, AND METHODS OF INCORPORATING THE ISOTOPE ON THE MATERIAL TO BE TRACED ARE DESCRIBED. STUDIES ARE DISCUSSED IN WHICH BOTH THE MOVEMENT OF SINGLE GRAINS OF SAND AND THE BULK MOVEMENT OF THE SOIL ARE FOLLOWED. THE METHODS USED FOR STUDYING SOIL EROSION WITH TRACERS ARE ANALYZED AND EVALUATED. /AUTHOR/
