Assessing the applicability of the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) to Irish Catchments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Elevated suspended sediment concentrations in fluvial environments have important implications for system ecology and even small concentrations may have serious consequences for sensitive ecosystems or organisms, such as freshwater pearl mussels ...

An assessment of the global impact of 21st century land use change on soil erosion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Human activity and related land use change are the primary cause of accelerated soil erosion, which has substantial implications for nutrient and carbon cycling, land productivity and in turn, worldwide socio-economic conditions.

Soil Erosion: A Review of Models and Applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Soil erosion is a global environmental problem influenced by both natural and human factors. Modeling provides a quantitative and consistent approach to estimate soil erosion and sediment yield under a wide range of conditions, and is needed to guide the

Quantifying model uncertainty to improve watershed-level ecosystem service quantification: a global sensitivity analysis of the RUSLE [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Ecosystem service-support tools are commonly used to guide natural resource management. Often, empirically based models are preferred due to low data requirements, simplicity and clarity. Yet, uncertainty produced by local context or parameter estimation

Estimating the effects of water-induced shallow landslides on soil erosion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Rainfall induced landslides and soil erosion are part of a complex system of multiple interacting processes, and both are capable of significantly affecting sediment budgets.

Predicting soil erosion with RUSLE in mediterranean agricultural systems at catchment scale [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Accurate assessment of soil loss is essential for sustainable agricultural production, management and conservation planning, especially in productive rain-fed agro-ecosystems and protected areas.

A comparison between soil loss evaluation index and the C-factor of RUSLE: a case study in the Loess Plateau of China [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Land use and land cover are most important in quantifying soil erosion. Based on the C-factor of the popular soil erosion model, Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) and a scale-pattern-process theory in landscape ecology, we proposed a multi ...
