Over the last century extraordinary efforts have been devoted to determining soil erosion
rates (in units of mass per area and time) under a large range of climatic conditions and land …

Assessments of the implications of soil erosion require quantification of soil erosion rates
(SE) and sediment yield (SSY) at regional scales under present and future climate and land …

Abstract The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) was used in conjunction with
geographic information system (GIS) mapping to determine the influence of land use and …

Soil degradation due to erosion is connected to two serious environmental impacts:(i) on-
site soil loss and (ii) off-site effects of sediment transfer through the landscape. The potential …

The world is experiencing serious soil losses. Soil erosion has become an important
