Soil erosion is a major problem around the world because of its effects on soil productivity,
nutrient loss, siltation in water bodies, and degradation of water quality. By understanding …

ABSTRACT The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) is the most widely used
global soil erosion model. The poor performance of the RUSLE is solely dependent on the …

Soil erosion by water is considered a major cause for land degradation in Jordan, where
0.14 cm of productive top soil is eroded annually. This investigation is intended to estimate …

Wadi Kufranja catchment (126.3 km2), northern Jordan, was selected to estimate annual soil
loss using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), remote sensing (RS), and …

Jordan is dominated by arid ecosystems that are vulnerable to human interventions and
activities. It receives little rainfall with high intensity, which renders land degradation, soil …

Soil erosion, sediment transport, and delta deposition are of great importance to the
evolution of fluvial landforms. In this study, we carry out a quantitative and comprehensive …

Many catchment areas have suffered from exhaustive changes because of various land use
activities over the recent past. These land use changes are associated with intensified …

Core Ideas The R factor was developed in the various versions of the USLE. Research on
rainfall erosivity estimation methods, mapping, and temporal trends is summarized. The …

Abstract Analysis of event-based soil erosion magnitude with special return periods is
essential to appropriately design strategies and adopt soil conservation practices. However …

Purpose The temporal variabilities of both soil erosion by water and sediment redistribution
in watersheds are directly related to rainfall characteristics. The purpose of this work was to …
