Predicting the annual erosion rates on a small stream by the BANCS model

open access: yesSoil and Water Research, 2019
The erosion of streambanks causes soil loss and degrades the stream habitat. To optimize the prevention of bank erosion, we first need to determine the most vulnerable places on banks. This can be done by the BANCS model.
