1. Introduction
There are four separate components in this package. From TillERI to TillTM,
the program is expected to simulate the process better, however, it becomes
more complicated and requires more input data.
Risk of Tillage Erosion Indicator (Canada)----TillERI
An Agri-environmental indicator developed in Canada used to estimate the
risk of tillage erosion level in a given field
Try our simplified TillERI
online version.
Tillage Erosion Model ----TillEM
Using grid elevation data (DEM) to calculate the on site tillage
erosion rate at every given grid point. Direction and boundary effects
eliminated.
Directional Tillage Erosion Model ---- DirTillEM
Using grid elevation data (DEM) to calculate the on site tillage
erosion rate at every given grid point. Direction and bounary effects
considered.
Tillage Translocation Model----TillTM
Using an exponential function to simulate tillage induced soil translocation,
thereby to estimate tillage erosion as well as the redistribution of soil
constituents, such as organic carbon, nutrients, and pesticides, Cs-137
etc.

This program has only been tested on Windows 2000/XP system
The "helps" button in the program is only functional if IE-explorer
is the default explorer. However, users could get access to the help file
online at:

Some sample import and output data files are provided in folder "Support
Files". Users are strongly recommended to run through the sample
files at first |
