Abstract

Experiments were made at Preajba Gorj Experimental Center in 2007 aiming to determine the soil losses through water erosion to the corn crop, sown grassland (in the second year of vegetation) and natural grassland. Within the experiments, there were studied: the influence of the climatic, anthropic and vegetation factors on the soil losses, and the indirect effect that fertilizers use have on soil erosion.
